Why does assualt engineers work better than riflemen as a starting unit?

Better starting RA, better vet 1, and better DPS. They'll get rolled by luchs/222 though, and they scale worse into late-game, so I really wouldn't depend on them as a riflemen replacement.

Just make Falls a 5-man squad with 3 Volks k98s and two FG-42. Same RA. Reduce the reinforce cost to 30/33. Boom. 300/330MP airborne deployable infantry squad with all their abilities and camo but no quad BARs BS.

Falls become one of the least squishy squads in the game and keep concentrated DPS and their ambush camo, abilities etc, but aren't terminators designed to replace obers and kill everything on the map. Everyone wins. No further upgrades besides maybe a 60muni 40muni(?) triple volks MP-40 upgrade (definitely not stormtrooper MP-40s). Said upgrade would however prevent picking up BARs and LMGs and whatnot.

Anyone who thinks such a 5-man camo squad with 0.85 0.83 base RA, a snare, frag grenade, smoke grenade, and two free BARs would be useless is also either kidding themselves or just wants Falls to be better Obers or something.

EDIT: I think Falls reinforcement time should also be reduced a bit, or at least that it should be during the ability which allows them to reinforce anywhere on the field. Presently that bonus ability really doesn't benefit them that much considering how slow to reinforce they are.

+1

They're probably only so expensive still because of design oversight when they first got reduced to 3 men on spawn. I've been intermittently complaining about the issue for like a year now lol.

I'd like if they came as full squads with lee-enfields like stormtroopers though, and just give them a sort of lengthy free upgrade to their suppressed stens. That way they'd still have some use as infiltration troops beyond maybe trying to wipe snipers or 1 man retreating squads, but they'd take some thought and preparation to use.

I really like this idea.

We are speaking about full tech costs, and not 1vs1.

Stop bringing 1vs1 arugments, this gamemode is dead.

Edit: And I don't play OKW that often, because it is a shitty fraction. The fraction is simply bad designed.

Imagine thinking 1v1 is a dead gamemode when its literally the most competive mode and what the game gets balanced around.

yea, great idea.
This would strengthen the strong infantry character of this faction.

Alternatively: give them a better vet2 and vet3 increses to have them perform in late game.
I would love that.

USF already has good veterancy besides the vet 1 snare. It's only OKW that makes it look bad, Riflemen get far better vet than say, Grens.

TBH Im happy with just the short range DPS boost
