Usonian Engineer - Unit of the American Union of Usonia. They are multifunctional infantry specializing in construction, repair, and fortification of positions.
Tactical Features
Usonian engineers have a standard set of skills for all factions: they build headquarters, barracks, workshops, and defensive structures — barbed wire, sandbags, minefields, machine gun and artillery bunkers (after reaching the veteran level). Their unique feature is the ability to repair damaged mechs and exoskeletons even in field conditions, which is crucial for maintaining the combat effectiveness of vehicles in prolonged battles.
Construction (of headquarters, barracks, workshops) is possible only near the headquarters, while defensive structures can be placed in any suitable terrain.
Limitations
The unit is characterized by low combat effectiveness in direct confrontations and vulnerability to artillery fire. A significant drawback is the inability to perform repair work under fire, which requires preliminary suppression of enemy firing points.
Engineers are vulnerable in direct confrontations due to weak weaponry and low movement speed, so it is necessary to operate under the cover of infantry or armored vehicles.
Usage Recommendations
Optimal tactics involve avoiding capturing points at the beginning of the game in favor of preparing key areas of the map — for example, areas of expected collision with the enemy. Engineers are effective for covert capture of guns near the enemy base or creating "traps" on enemy movement paths.
Like any other infantry unit, engineers can change their infantry class by picking up weapons from the ground.
