This way, their special ability would be available for all BRs. At the moment only axis has assault rifles for low BR.
While 6-man assault squad is strong, they have no other specialists. Outside of BR 5 for the other nations you are basically a weaker version of the standard engineer squad.
As I don’t think that low BR assault rifles for all nations is the way to go, they should be allowed to use SMGs instead.
No, this would make this squad into total seal clubby meta.
Nah thats way to strong on low BR.

With assault squad 2, every player can have 4 assaulters, Medic (assaulter) and MG + Additional specialist.
Isnt this the squad capable to build pretty much everything ?
Probably just easier to lock the said GE assault rifles to assaulters only.
Finally, someone else who understands the point of this. Assault engineers are worthless in 4 of the 5 BRs if you aren’t playing Germany and it’s actually stupidly pointless to not make them be able to use SMGs
It’s not Pandora’s box, bro. It’s like one event squad that a player can use
Yeah, they can build everything just like any eng squad.
However the difference is that with a TT engi squad, you can bring assaulter + AT trilooper, etc meaning that br 1 - 4 a standard engineer squad is superior if you don’t play axis.
Event engis can do that ampulolmeter, dunno is my br V engi squad low or not but it couldnt.
Not really a big deal, just had memory the event engi could do little extra.
Just remove the capability to use mkb ( inser number here ) from event engis.
Much easier.
Rather remove the ampulomet. They are assault engineers, that implies rather cq attacking role than fortification building role.
Then remove the ability to use Assault Rifles entirely. Easy fix
In BR I-II, the engineer is too strong
But I think, the engineer should be able to use auto rifle, for example fedrov, Stg44, etc
That’s literally just what assault engineers do
PLEASE
I have absolutely no interest in these current event squads because they can only bring one paper weapon in a BR I very rarely play.
There is no balancing argument when there are assault squads that can take 4 Assaulters, 1 Medic, and 1 Machine Gunner, giving you equivalent firepower from BRII up and almost equivalent at BRI.
The entire idea of a squad whose special ability is using a weapon type that only one nation fielded in significant numbers is absolutely brain dead.
These squads were only made because of mkb engineers in stalingrad, they couldn’t use SMG’s, so there is no reason to suddenly give them the ability to use SMG’s
They’re only really special for the Axis due to them having access to more than one BR with Assault Rifles, so why not extend what makes them interesting into the other 80% of the game.
You guys could specifically create a “assault engineers class”, for each faction, where everyone would get one of those on their TT while those old Stalingrad Assault engineers would basically translate into an extra squad.
