Be grateful that RE even have the suppression ability. They just got mines. They already have unique abilities like tank traps and free nades from fighting positions. Plus RE and sappers are the only 200ish mp units able to double equip and still carry sweepers while EFA can't even get a sweeper after getting a single flamer. Fucking great, aren't they. Don't know how someone can still ask for more.
Damn, if we all were like certain legless reptilian and be completely unaware of how the unit behaves outside of statistics and abilities on paper, RETs would actually look like a good unit.
However we are not.
Do you even remember how fighting position looks like? Most certainly not, much less how RETs rifle nades work from it due to how "popular" it is, especially now that USF got mortar its nothing more then a weak gimmick of the past era.
The unit is:
-not needed to build a base
-not needed to put mines down
-not needed to repair vehicles(obvious reason)
Also, it doesn't matter how well unit can scale, if base unit with base abilities can't perform, then changes are needed.
Suppressive volley was broken op and was hammered to broken up with nothing in between ever.
Currently its still broken up and if you need to invest 120muni just to have a basic ability actually work , that screams underpowered, not matter how you try to put it.
