All faction engineers upgrade additional man upgrade

None of the WFA Engineers need this buff.

Pioneers and Combat Engineers could do with the Sturmpioneer's ability to stow their sweeper.

30 ammo for a pioneer, 45 for a Royal Engineer? Seems arbitrarily harsh.

I also never want to see 5 man sturmpios, thanks.

I would prefer that the Soviet engineers could buy PPSh-41 (compatible with a flamethrower), because the first echelon of engineers was used as the assault troops and most of them were armed with submachine guns.

Soviet engineers would be a nice change. How many PPSH, how much would it be?

Jump back to quoted post9 May 2019, 13:39 PMCrecer13

four PPSh-41, three with a flamethrower. I would suggest the same PPS-43 between the PPSh-41 and STG-44 for engineers and paratroopers, but we cannot have new models.

"STG-44 for engineers and paratroopers".

Do you mean STG for Wehr pios or what do you mean by that?

PPS-43 for Soviet paratroopers and engineers, weapons that would be intermediate characteristics between PPSh-41 and STG-44. As an option, give Soviet engineers two captured STG-44.

Interesting. Maybe Pios should get an upgrade providing maybe 2 guys with STG 44.

What do you think about having 5 man for Engineers tough?

I think this is a good option. OKW engineers have four STG-44, British get 5 people but can buy any weapon. Wehrmacht engineer can get the 5th person with STG-44 as a sergeant. Soviet? Maybe 5 people and 2-3 PPSh-41 or SVT-40. Since there is no possibility of adding new models, I have no other options. PPS-43 would be appropriate for the Soviets.

Conscripts have mostly mosins and hopefully by default upgrade option SVT. It would better for the engineer to have PPSH similar to the style Wehr Pios have with close range DPS or focus.

The fact Brits engineers can become more powerful seems clearly unfair. I think every other faction deserves more out of their default engineer/pio units.

Yes, I also find it ridiculous:
STG-44 produced 445,000 pieces, give the STG to each infantry unit
PPSh-41 produced 6 000 000 pieces
PPS-43 produced 2 000 000 pieces
SVT-40 produced over 1,700,000 pieces
you only get a weapon in the doctrine!

Maybe AVT-40 as an option for engineers, this is all the same SVT-40 but automatic fire will work as an ability for about 10-15 seconds.

Ostheer and Soviet engineers yes...the rest no
