Something about fighting off shocks without armor at the start doesn't sound appealing when usf already has the best early game in the world. I think a vet 2 for 5 men or nothing at all seems fine. While poor old assault grens are 5 men yet still have worse dps than an engineer squad that costs the exact same.
Assault engineers dont have armor, smoke grenades, 6 men and im almost certain less dmg. So...... I dont tjink an extra man out the great would break them. Anyway thanks for the reminder on Assault grenafiers its not fair to leave them out.
