Note that the new AA guns can be depressed for use against ground targets but a slow rate of fire, 4 and 6 round clips respectively and exposed gunners will balance it so their use won´t get out of hand hopefully.
*The Soviets use the PaK-40 like the germans in Berlin
This was a showerthought I had recently but I couldn´t think of anything to give the Japanese so I left that out.
I’m about 50/50 on having certain buildables being for specific Engineer squads. On one hand it adds variety to different types of squads like Machine Gunners getting HMGs, but on the other hand it leaves the regular Engineer squads with only the bare minimum and then it’s like why bother bringing a regular squad. It would be cool to have all the different things available for all Engineers.
I would love that personally. Since it really feels restricting tha the game forces you to use engineer squads to do something against planes without needing to be in one yourself. Especially now that you can´t spam AA against Infantry very well anymore. Engineer squads can keep the AT guns atleast.
Since the HMG squad can construct turrets that the Engineer squad cannot…
Maybe they should allow AT squad enginners, to build the AT cannons mentioned in the OP?
And then give the actual engineer squad, stronger fortifications and unique AA abilities
that way they can all be different and unique from the other
I literally don’t even use the AT squads, because I can equip an AT soldier to all the others (making the AT squad irrelevant).
