So since this is not my idea, here the quote:
Technically not my idea either, borrowed from company of heroes
Further distinction required as to not make one obsolete.
You know, this would perfectly fit into the game, and probably justify the introduction of heavier emplacements
or even giving the support pioneers default repair kits for vehicles,
While combat pioneers would get meta assault weapons.
I even really enjoy your idea about merging them with flamers
I think there would be differences in available perks and perk points to, to better suit their speciality.
Different nations
Assault engineers, combat pioneers, guastatori, royal engineers…etc etc
But yeah, i do think flamers and combat engineers should be 1 and the same
Yes, but fortification engineers would hopefully get some cool new things to build, like more sandbag options (straight, etc.), little bunkers…
