Role of the sturmpioneer in upcoming patch

Me too more or less, but at least three Fausts for one Schreck? Definitely something I'd take. The new SP Schreck should also make SP replacement a lot more feasible to deal with actually.

How? Should you repair your panther or be handheld AT on the line? Put down barewire, mines or emplacements or be handheld AT on the line? Detect mines or be handheld AT on the line? SP have to many jobs already, requiring them to fill the AT role as well is yet another poor design choice. To fill all of their roles you will need 2-3 and that comes to 27 popcap and the bleed from having them on the front line is going to be difficult to deal with.

Futhermore, the STGs package is a joke and not really an upgrade.

I'm not saying they are bad, but compare the luchs kill rate to the stuart or the aaht... p4 to the HE shells of the sherman...

Will SP be able to purchase sweeper, pzschreck and flamethrower at once?

*gasp* you have to rely on actual combined arms now!

Get 2nd Spio if you have this much work for him, getting more, as you've noticed, is rather sub-optimal, so no more shreck blobs, time to spend that excessive MP on puppchen or two.

i dont think buying 3 of them is a problem. The shrek allow them to vet fast and they have the best vet in the game. any long range early game issues is solved with the mg34

I've always used combined arms. I suggested schrecks be tied to the number of trucks set up.

There is no other unit in the game with as much on its plate as the SP after this patch.

900 mp + 280 muni and a 35 mp replacement cost per unit..... Totally solved the problem.

Actually, there is.

May I present you: The Royal Engineers!

What will change for OKW now is, you can't get away with just a single spio, just like any other army can't get away with just a single engi of their own.
