The team must really want us to use Assault Engineers, with all these buffs left and right. Personally, I just don't get why it can't be Cavalry Rifles.
I mean, look. I can't figure out why they're so insistent.
Assault Engineers
Target size decreased from 1 to 0.9
Veterancy 1: Now also adds Destroy Cover to the unit
Reinforcement cost reduced from 35 to 30
Popcap reduced from 8 to 7
And now with the latest update they're just giving the M3 with only the AE's inside.
M3 Assault Group
To make the pricing of this bundle ability more attractive, we are replacing the vehicle crew of the M3 Half-track with the Assault Engineer squad that the ability originally came with separately.
Assault Engineer squad replaces the vehicle crew
Cost reduced from 460MP/30FU to 290MP/30FU
We get it, Assault Engies are cool and tougher than ever before, but this isn't Armor Doctrine, and they just don't fit the way Cavalry would.
