Assault engineers should be able to equip submachine guns as well. But wouldn’t be an ideal change until the US and Japanese get their assault engineers first

No. If they can use SMGs, this means they can be used on low BRs. I don’t think low BR needs universal super soldiers.

but the german assault engineers can use the mkb35

They are still very vulnerable to the tanks as they don’t have pocket rocket launcher ready to switch at all times.
They are not that much different from Guerrillas and actually spawn with less ammo and just one weapon, they can build stuff but can’t cross enemy grey zone.
Paratroopers would still be way more flexible especially russian Paratroopers that can equip both Smgs and ARs.
Tbh I have no words
I’m not a big fan of “the house is burning so let’s make marshmallows” approach.

Sure it could be a good squad in the right hands but there’s nothing that can prevent squads from dying from a single plane run or Rally AP mine. And like @Willcario said, there’s already the mkb35 in br2 for Germany. Not to mention the legacy squads from Stalingrad and the pacific let you have 5 soldiers with smg’s, a 6th with an MG and your 7th squad member being an engineer (4 assaulters, a medic, machine gunner and an engineer)

With this logic we should remove BRs completely.
I’m sure new players will enjoy it.
And if we go further, even P2W or cheaters are fine as long as they die from a bullet/explosion/whatever.
Let’s go back full circle, lol.

Not being rude but I don’t think you read the bottom half of my message. But I’ll quote myself
Not just legacy. All tech trees have at least one assaulter squad with such layout.
Soviet assaulters T3, US/Ger assaulters T2, all Japanese assaulters.
So any post merge player can eventually get such squad.

I guess we have to remove premium squads too as they can have multiple smgs. How dare you have more than 4 in single squad it’s a sin.
Nah they still have it’s cons and pros. I almost never spawn assault engineers as first squad at BR5 when i can use my highly flexible Assaulter or MG squads. Even Paratroopers are more flexible than Ass engies as they can pick loadout what they need at the very second they land.
I don’t think that’s comparable.
It’s quite difference if just one guy with smg can build ammo box, AA or rally point…
…or if all 6 six guys can do that.
Not to mention you can build literally anything instantly if your bots are still alive.
Assaulter engineers with SMGs are seal clubber’s top wet dream. That’s a fact.

And you can only have three boxes built so it’s a non issue, AA has limit of 2, and rally point can be only one at a time.
And how it’s any different from them carrying ARs or rifles? It’s not like Japan or USA can’t have engy squad with 4x engies carrying SF rifles that are more powerful than STG44/AS-44.
Seal clubbers wet dream are guerillas carrying Uragan + PPS-42 with body armor and perfect perks. You don’t need to build pathetic boxes you can just spawn camp enemies. With 460 rounds for your smgs that each of them are carrying.
As far as I know, you cant cycle 3 guerillas + they cannot build rally points. 
So it’s obvious that squad of 6 engineer that all can have Smgs is the last puzzle piece.
Because I wouldn’t call anything that’s BR5 a seal clubbing.
As for MKb 35. That weapon should never have been reclassified to an AR. It should have remained as an smg.
The fact that the developers reclassified it as an AR created more problems than it solved.
Plus by doing so they disappointed people who bought it for use in vehicles.

I know this isn’t too much of a solution but when it comes to smg’s, what if the smg’s are limited only to the ones br3 and up?
On 6 engineers? Literally every smg.
I’ve read it but I don’t have any thoughts regarding this. Legacy squads is a mess, just like about everything in this game.
Also it’s not about SMGs themselves but about giving them to engineers. That’s literally a recipe for the best soldier in the game. I don’t think low BR needs this.
