When was last time you've seen one used as anything else then sandbag and the latter can be built by other engineers or mainline infantry already?
Exactly how does other infantry having sandbags (which are worse) and them being used for green cover imply zero utility? Next
Apparently no other unit in USF arsenal can do that huh?
Not for a cost that is as low as RE. Next
A thing that hardly counts as its neither unique nor unexpected.
Uniqueness is not a requirement for utility. Next
And I'm 100% positive sure that someone who does not even own the factions knows a whole lot about the state of its units to have guts to even write that sentence. Or is it just sheer ignorance on your part?
At least I know what utility means. Oh and despite being a huge OKW fanboi, by definition I do own USF.
If you have ever played USF, you'd know that RETs are used for repair extremely rarely if ever.
Because all their tanks can self repair. This does not negate RE utility. Next
literally all they can do.
literally, do you know what that word means?
If you had, you wouldn't be even trying to question "usefulness" of it.
Useful? We are talking about utility for one, for two as you said "They cap, carry zooks and sweep," is that not a use?
All of that and more can be done more effectively and better by other engineers with the exception of soviet CEs which are even more worthless, but much more mandatory.
Soviet CEs can build green cover, carry bazookas and build machine gun pits, news to me.
