RE Increased Vision?

Jump back to quoted post23 Aug 2015, 02:11 AMClassyDavid

Should RE vision be increased to the same as Pioneers? (35, Pathfinders have sight at 42) Help with USF be better prepared for attacking enemy positions. Simple buff and save munitions as you could see enemy HMGs and prepare the attack accordingly. Will also give RE more utility and improve combined arms approach similar to the reason of Pioneers getting increased to vision to synergize with MG42s more. Lastly it would it help with that pesky bugger (AKA The Kubel) as you can spot it the same time it spots you letting you retreat or reposition.

I wouldn't say it make other scouting units redundant due to other scouting units would have greater sight. You also have to take in account the others greater combat ability and utility. Similar to how Pioneers aren't really spammed to be scouting instead a 222 Scout Car has great vision and even better combat power. This doesn't include OST sniper or such.

Only thing is that makes other scout units redundant in a way,like I would never get pathfinders or vet my M20/stu if i could just spam RE's to get better sight

I feel like USF needs different buffs. Like bazooka, and 50 cal performance. As well as commander buffs.

RE's have decent combat utility though,and arent doctrine restricted/require vetting.

Basically theyd be dirt cheap and easily replaced compared to pathfinders and M20/stuart,equippable with BAR and zook,can lay fighting pits and get inside for even more sight

Who am I kidding,I'd love this .

no they dont, unless you invest atleast 120mun into them to eventually see them die like flies.

Their early game needs some slight nerfs they would, if buffed like stated here. Rather see USF early game towed down and late game upped I would, USF early game very potent 1v1.
