I do realize the current starting unit of an Infantry section is a throwback to the original Brits, especially how you can't build them until tier 2.

However personally, I'd like to see Brits start with a repair squad, you still can't build them until tier 2 but if you start with one you can get those early repairs on the Bren for example or use the destroy cover, although the destroy cover underused, can make a bigger difference in the early game denying cover compared to the early-mid when they normally come out. You may disagree but the face that you still won't be able to build them until tier 2 will keep what one of the things COH is known for, Unit preservation.

Some positives to have Engineers as the starting unit.
- Lower upkeep unit compared to Infantry sections
- Support unit to be used with Infantry section
- Cover destroying ability, once again showing themselves as a support unit
- Although rare to see extreme early mines, but can have the ability to sweep them
- Their repair ability, will help in team games or going Bren
- Will be able to get to vet 3 before normal engineers (due early time on the field)
- Vet 3 reinforce cost
- Possible earlier Bofors (due to not having to build Engineers, just got to tech to Bofors)

Some negatives
- Lower firepower at the start of the game (due to them playing more of a support role)
- Early Bren repairs without the Bren vet 1 ability may be OP, testing would need to be done
- Opponent may think you're already at tech 2 a few minuets in, when you're not (not really a negative, but hey it sorta is)
- Possible earlier Bofors (due to not having to build Engineers, just got to tech to Bofors)

Anyway this is not an instant buff to Brits, but it isn't an instant nerf, I will admit I couldn't think of many nerfs compared to buffs, but what do you guys think? and also anymore positives and negatives go for it and mention them.

PIV have 640 HP. Weak frontal armor without vet, with vet quite decent, decent AI performance, can fight all stock medium tanks, cant fight heavies even if flanking, good mobility, weak against all AT inf and tanks. Cost you 125 fuel.

Sherman have 640 HP. Weak frontal armor, poor AT perfomance, really good AI perfomance, decent mobility, cant fight heavies, weak against AT tanks, less weaker against AT inf.

T34\76 have 640 HP. Weak frontal armor, poor AT perfomance but better then shermans, decent AI, weak to any AT. Cost 90 fuel.

Hi,

I didn´t have much time on my hands to play the latest patch. Thus I have never built the new Panzerwerfer. Now I´m asking you: Is it finally useful with the latest buff? Does it hit on range? Did the role change? Afaik it got slightly less scatter and suppression.
