"A combat engineer (also called field engineer, pioneer or sapper in many armies) is a soldier specialist who performs a variety of construction and demolition tasks under combat conditions.
The combat engineer's goals involve facilitating movement and support of friendly forces while impeding those of the enemy. Combat engineers build, repair and maintain buildings, roads and power supplies. They employ explosives for construction and demolition projects, and clear minefields using specialized vehicles. Such tasks typically include constructing and breaching trenches, tank traps and other fortifications, bunker construction, bridge and road construction or destruction, laying or clearing land mines, and other physical work in the battlefield.
Usually, a combat engineer is also trained as an infantryman, and combat engineering units often have a secondary role fighting as infantry."
This is what Combat Engineers are, not people who repair warthogs, they don't live in a motor pool like MSE does, no. They are basically EOD, Demolitions, building traps, ditches, maintain buildings and such. They don't fucking go and repair a Scorpion, or warthog. That is left to MSE.
MSE live in a motor pool and always repair their vehicles.
'If you were such a mechanic, why would you let down being an Engineer? Repairing vehicles all day every day! MSE on the other hand rarely does repair things, save for Alpha.'
This is not right at all. I'm sorry for being mean and hard, but it's the truth.

MSE, or Mechanized Support Element units, work and live in a motorpool. A tanker should always know how to repair and maintain his or her vehicle, while a Combat Engineer will be more focused on making sandbag walls, bridges, bunkers, and static positions. Tankers should be doing more repairs than Combat Engineers, as they specialize in vehicles, and work in motorpools, as stated earlier.
