Large numbers of Axis fortifications have led to the US Corps of Engineering to train men specialized in assaulting and clearing out defensive positions. Able to be equipped with two M2 Flamethrowers, smoke grenades, and landmines, Assault Engineers can easily flank an enemy position and take it out with ease. However, Assault Engineers are still vulnerable to MG fire and should best be used tactically to flank enemy positions while the riflemen take most of the fire. Assault engineers cannot build defenses, and have relatively low amounts of health, making them badly suited for the defense.

Tactics & Tips

  • Equip assault engineers with smoke in order to advance on heavy machine guns.
  • Halftrack deployment allows assault engineers to be quickly delivered to where they can do the most damage.
  • Flamethrowers excel at combat in dense urban environments and can clear entire enemy positions from the safety of buildings.
