Sturm Pioneer best infantry in the game?

Healing unit
Assaulting unit
Repair unit
AT unit
Field crafting unit
Obstacle building unit
Obstacle clearing unit
OKW had the best units to start off with. And I might even consider just spamming them as core unit

If you see Sturmpio spam outside of a 4v4, chances are that you play against a low level OKW player. The 5 min power spike is not worth the 25 min bleed afterwards.

Now of course, if you go round a corner and they're breathing down your neck like a lover - there's the T button. Don't hesitate or you'll be down a squad.
And then there's FlameSPs…...

Flame Spios are hard countered by mines. Only faction struggling with them is USF if they don’t get M6 mines.

Shhhh, the USF miners will hear you!
Yes, SPs are quite easily countered.

In short, bad idea.

I think Sturmpioneers are a cool unit. Too expensive to spam, but extremely versatile. You want them everywhere at once, and that means their opportunity cost is very high. They are probably the best example of the OKW theme of an elite force stretched too thin.
This seems like an accurate description

Where the strategy fails is when the enemy decides to not play into your infantry war, and instead focusses on bleeding your expensive infantry using HMGs, Indirect Fire, and snipers, and not focussing so much on having a large amount of infantry themselves.
So it can work, but like any non conconventional stratagy, it can be exploited.

Now that I think about it I could see why some player just use Sturm Pioneer as their mainline, there is nothing they don't do
Healing unit
Assaulting unit
Repair unit

You could try spamming them as a core unit, but the manpower bleed will kill you against a competent opponent.
They're good units, but they're not worth 300 MP in a pure combat role.
