Default Engineers VS Fortifications

This thread is ment to get some discussion going on the subject.

We've all had to assault fortifications from time-to-time.

1) First any infantry unit has to pass a morale check.
2) Then the rule of thumb is (% chance of success = number of men in an infantry unit) (x2 if engineers).

Since most infantry squads are around 8-10 men, as are engineer squads this gives a 8-10% (or 16-20%) chance of a sucessful assault.

I'm wondering if engineer units should have a higher chance of success?

There's probably not much that could be easily done to increase their chance of passing the morale check (tho I've been giving engineer units a morale bonus for this, and other, reasons).

But they currently get double the chance for a sucessful assault. Don't get me wrong, this IS a significant advantage. But I'm wondering should it possibly be higher? x4 would (IMHO) be too much...but perhaps x3 would be reasonable as such units are normally specially trained and equiped for bunker busting.

Opinions?
