Repair Speed Tweaks

My main beef is that Combat Engineers and Pioneers cut into your popcap without really providing much in the way of fighting ability. Yeah, flamethrower, but that weapon isn't usually all that great in the late-game.

OKW has Mech truck repairs, which don't cost population, and Sturms, who are also good fighters. USF has vehicle crews, which don't really use up any population, and Echelons, who are generally more useful in combat imo than Soviet and Ostheer engineers (primarily because of Bazookas).

Royal Engineers meanwhile are decent fighters and have a lot of utility while costing very little to reinforce. Plus they can pick up all sorts of weapons.

Mate, not sure what you are smoking, but it doesnt seem like you are doing this right...
Engies are there for support:
Lay mines
Remove mines
Deny flanks with wire/traps
Build bunkers/Fighting positions
And the flamer is a godsend when you come across a building with an MG

Mech Truck repair has never struck me as being particularly quick btw. Think it's mostly useful because it means you don't have to divert your Sturmpioneers away from the fight.
