Royal Engineers are broken

I think it's healthy for the brits and other factions to have options and strong units to diversify themselves. For example the MG42 is by far the best MG in the game and makes ostheer stand out with it. RE's being tough synergize with their emplacement strat, and is a fun unique thing.
Besides, I've yet to see any serious brit players use nothing but RE's. I mean I think if mainline infantry over perform that becomes a serious problem.

Do RE's over perform for their cost? I'd say so. Is this a bad thing? Not really.at the end of the day you can never go RE only because that fucks you up at the start of the game and you'll have no way to heal. As such it's ideally 2*tommies and I agree despite the over performance of REs for standalone cost, the mix in nature and balance and lack of ukf elite infantry makes for an interesting and non-OP combination.

Is that Sprice standing in the corner looking guilty?

That's implying guilt is something Sprice is capable of.

- OKW allround Volks with Forward Retreat Point
- USF allround Rifles with Forward Retreat Point
- Stormpios on some maps too strong for a a starting unit (not too strong by itself). I myself had a game for example as my starting squad on a building heavy map got 18 kills without loosing a single model, running always into enemy squads around the corner (mainly Engineers/Maxims). That was ridiculous. Opponent was so pissed, that he left. I remember tommy squad in vCoH having worse combat stats on T0 and getting automatically better with T1. They should do something similar here. To be fair they could do it with IS too, but of course they are far less dangerous as a starting unit.

Or seriousness.
I wish best of luck to anyone trying to mimic sprice spams.

No idea how he gets it to work. He's a right bastard basically.
Watch one of his games and think you have a new strategy that works for the Brits. Try it for a few games and spend the next 20 trying to get back to where you were before you started - only more confused.
So, rushing a Tiger with 4 squads of engineers armed with Piats doesn't work? I saw it with mine own eyes. Wtf?

Picking up weapons allow them to fight gain veterancy and repair/ built too fast allowing tank to return to the front line too fast.
Weapon and minesweeper should be mutual exclusives (like flamers) with with engineer type unit starting with less repair speed but getting more when upgraded with minesweepers.
Engineer should be either combat oriented or fighting oriented but not excel in both.

But Lelic took him serious enough, wait till RE get the RE treatment.

Also random note, Sappers get the 0.9 Received accuracy that applies to the majority of British troops when they are in cover so that's 0.72 before additional cover modifiers.

In terms of mobile infantry, the brits have 3 stock units - tommies, sappers and the sniper (if you count that, I consider it a specialist), and tommies can't fire on the move. Likewise Royal Engis are needed to build and keep alive emplacements.

With a fifth man in the squad RE even beat assault grenadiers (280mp) in close combat.
What doesn't beat assault grens?
In their case, you pay 280mp for a crippled squad that doesn't scale.

5 men squads , with brens and piats , they vet up real fast so late game mp drain is not even an issue .

Then assault grenadier should be buffer according to you?

royal engies are op as fuck , just watch any of Price's games as brits , he abuses the hell out of them .

If we go by what sprice does to judge what is OP, then this is the list of OP things:
Pios
puppchens
ostwinds
PaKs
conscripts
t34/76
PIATs
Zooks
US AT gun
sandbags
wires
pathfiunders
JLI
obers
ISGs
mortars(all of them)
stugs
pumas
osttruppen
thompson vehicle crews
The list could go on.
So yeah, I wouldn't really rely on what sprice does as an accurate measurement of what is OP and what isn't
