From a narrative point of view, it's better to have a martial type know all the weapons from day one. From a practical point of view, in the standard game those first 2 levels only last IIRC 1-2 sessions each, during which in most cases you're fine with 1 melee weapon + 1 ranged weapon of your choice. The real difference is when you start getting magic items and you want to switch between them.Armor is trickier. As I said, if the Fighter didn't get Heavy Armor since day 1, it would be both a narrative and practical problem, because it would prevent you to play a character with tactics based on using heavy armor. So I'd suggest instead the Fighter could pick 1 Light + 1 Medium + 1 Heavy armor of choice at 1st level, then again at 2nd, before full prof at 3rd. But I am not really sure it would help much, since the flip of the coin is that the multiclass-dipping player can still manage to dip and get that one single armor prof that may be enough forever.</blockquote>
