A more combat engineering focused engineer class.

[quasi estuary]

Currently the engineer has a great ability to tear down structures with its ranged explosives, but for some reason the building-focused bonus of instantly creating structures was given to the support class instead.

Since the support already has its own focus, firing and supplying large amounts of ammunition to enemies and allies respectively, taking away the building bonus would hardly harm its usefulness, and would allow the engineer to be better at performing the constructive aspect of what its name suggests, combat engineering.

Engi has bonus EXP on killing vehicles, access to Barbewire/hesco wall like the support, access to repair tool and RPG and AV nades/mines.

The problem is more like, everyone can destroy a tank with 4 C4.

Also has the biggest arsenal of weapon.

[quasi estuary]

Unlike the support class, it doesn't have any bonus to actually building them. It seems weird that the support class, a class meant to focus on supplies and LMGs, also has a random building bonus tacked onto it.

[mental finch]

support's role is supply ammo and holding chokepoint/barricading/defending. So it does make sense.

They also have only access to BR/LMG/LSG

[quasi estuary]

The only reason their role would be barricading would be because they have that random bonus added. Nothing about the class itself apart from that suggests they should have a focus on actually creating structures. The instabuild is the only structure-related bonus the class gets.

[mental finch]

you mean nothing like LMG/LSG?

LMG and LSG are especially could at defending

Engi doesn't have any structure related perk, so it shouldn't have barbewire or hesco wall

[quasi estuary]

The LMG creates structures? Having the support class be better at engineering than the literal engineer just because it lets a single class be OP at defending is just bad balancing that discourages class cooperation.

[mental finch]

the LMG is for defending near structure. The engi is a vehicle driver or destroyer.

[quasi estuary]

Yes, the LMG is used near structures, but that doesn't mean the class using the LMG should therefore also be excelling at everything relating to structures. The engineer is heavily focused on ranged explosives in general, both used against vehicles and structures, and again, literally an engineer.

I think engi needs a gadget rework more than anything at this point along with medic

Rockets that aren't heat or tandem suck and even then tandem has very annoying drop off over distance
