I still dont see why AVRE need to sit in combat.
Because that's how the unit is designed and balanced for?
Very low speed, turret, very short range, somewhat high armor, does that sound like hit-and-run unit to you?
I was saying that ST sitting in combat more, due to the fact it takes him longer to aim and longer to rotate.
Then you're using the unit completely wrong. You're suppose to drive it, take a shot, preferably at weapon team and back out, if you're doing anything else then that, you're not using the unit properly.
If you take scenarious where you need to drive forwar, shoot and drive back. It would take ST longer to do all of this, meaning it will spend more time potentially under fire.
Its much faster then AVRE and got longer range.
It extremely feels like you're arguing based on completely unintended use of both.
