Ostheer repair bunker upgrade

Make sweepers for Ostheer and Soviet Engineers bump up their repair speed to be on par with Sappers and Rear Echelon at 2.0 from 1.6. It's already hard to get a sweeper unit to veterancy 2 unless you want to make sweeping and building give squad XP which could also work.

Agreed; I rather everyone need 2-4 Pioniers to repair fast, rather than OKW opponents to require 8 Sturmpioniers to repair at the same speed as you would 4 of them with the repair upgrade.
Which brings another problem: Sturmpioniers cost 320 manpower, so from strategic standpoint, they'd be at a huge disadvantage in keeping heavy tanks up to spec simply because Allied factions' engineers cost far less. There's already a risk of squad wiping your Sturmpioniers when repairing something, and losing a 320 manpower squad with AT, minesweeper, emplacement/ wire AND repair capability- now the additional risk is they wouldn't even repair as fast.

At least with upping CEs and Pioniers' repair speed when upgraded, they're still shitty in combat.

Hi guys

One thing which is pretty annoying for me playing Ostheer is that if you are in lategame and there are intense armored fights it takes a lot of time to get your damaged tanks back to the battlefield.
So if you have many tanks and just one pioneer squad your tanks are fighting 25% of the time and being repaired 75% of the time. (figures just serve viewpoint not actual fact based^^)
So if you want your damaged tanks back on field in a reasonable amount of time you need atleast 3 pioneer squads which are eating popcap all the time but only have a very limited impact to your fighting force.
UKF-pioneers repair much faster especially with upgrade, USF can selfrepair their vehicle, OKW have repair truck and soviet pioneers seems to repair faster too (maybe just because of less health tanks?) and have doctrinal upgrades such as consript repair ability, repair station and self repair.

What would you think about merging the heal and refresh bunker and make it more expensive (maybe with retreat point ability upgrade?) and add a repair bunker instead? Or do you think it would be too op?

There is also USF with super glue repair speed not only OKW
