Engineers

If we are going to lean into engineers being some sort of assault troop / bomb throwing Hessian grenadier from the late 1700s; we need to give them something other than a sack of det cord to make them distinguishable from normal infantry minus an AT launcher.

At the moment, regular "engineers" just fucking suck. You spend points on a unit that can't even properly defend itself from an m113 or bmp1 that relies solely on moving into 150 meters of an enemy infantry unit, praying they don't get stunned.

Engineers, you are a joke. You get kited, murdered and die in the mud unloved and disgusting like the filthy animals you are.

Engineers as a unit need to get scrapped and reworked from the ground up. If they can't make fortifications, lay down booby traps, cut down trees, lay abattis across forested roads, construct mine wire obstacles or DEconstruct them like you know, every other 12B in existence, then this unit has basically no place. And I'm not talking about the RPO infantry, you guys are great and everyone loves you.

Imo, at least give engineers smoke. The smoke will help them close the distance to actually be useful. In my personal experience, when you are part of an assault and breaching element, 11 or 12 series, you always obfuscate. You smoke your obj, clear it, and assault through. At least give these worthless sacks of shit something that is based in realism.

Also another mg would be dope, imo 2 m249s would better suit the mobile nature of these assholes and not a single 240 / m60
