Someone clearly does not play the soviets... engineers cost 170 manpower... play the other faction before complaining you dope
My mistake (sorry) - but I love Soviets and play them regularly
I'm a fan of Sov and always feel pity for ost when stealing their mgs and team weapons. I love how nicely they die to Soviet flame arty etc. And....
....I really feel that too many forum writers keep boosting allies while forgetting about balance and I feel I have to defend the underdogs sometimes to make the game less frustating for those who want to play against those boosted allied armies.
To the point - grens are the worst mainline infantry period. They have to rely on support weapons whether with or without g43s. The Soviet engineers just prove the point - a 170 manpower worth unit can stop them advance (1vs1) or make them fight from range for a good minute or two, effectively stopping them, and making them unable to cap. It's just ridiculous imo that there are players who seem to argue that grens are that good.
