Good points Huib and Hawk.

The most interesting thing about WWII infantry versus armor tactics, is that the Germans built off the lessons of WWI, when they fought "masses" of tanks with little to no anti armor except for some direct fire from artillery weapons. German infantry was first to develp anti armor tactics and did not ignore the early lessons.
The Germans continued between wars to develop infantry tactics versus armor, while the "Allies" often ignored the subject altogether. Especially the Americans. Though they quickly adapted once thrown into combat and they early on had their engineers trained for fighting as combat infantry.

As Jason asked, would I like to see Engineers changed for the version 1.05 update. My initial answer would be "heck yeah", but my more thoughtful answer would be "examine the effects over all the theaters and scenarios" before making wholesale changes.
We have mine laying engineers. We have bridge building engineers. Increasing the mix to add "combat" and non-combat units for all countries would seem to be in order.
It would just need to be a more well thought out attempt at change?

Just my two cents.
