This is correct in theory, but it also depends on the opposition. The OKW is obviously an issue with their FJ, sturmpios, and obers.
These units cut down AssEngs due to their firepower.
i guarantee youre using assault engineers wrong. at 8m or less, the squad does 52 dps. sturm pios only do 57 dps. assault grens only do 42. considering theyre cost, theyre pretty damn good. their only weakness is their damage drops off much faster than sturms and assault grens. they do barely any damage at 14m or greater.
get close. watch squads melt.
