Engi’s are extremely weak and not fun in 2042
I can carry 5 AT or 5 AA rockets plus 5 AT mines BF4. Or I can carry 5 Stingers plus 2 AA mines. BF1 Support can kill tanks quickly w 2 Limpets and an AT nade. And that’s w infinite Limpet amm...

@UP_HawxxeyeInteresting tactic, but only an idiot ground vehicle driver will sit and wait for someone to chuck mines/C5 on them if they see smoke. And now they have thermal scopes, even harder to approach close enough without being seen.
Also doesn't answer the question of air vehicles. Rockets are really the only answer there and Lis rocket is awful since they slowed it down, very easy to dodge, and everything else is useless/easily countered.
I main engineer on every BF title and this one is even more difficult to master. I don't know what has changed, but lately I've been running around asking for ammo when I never really had to. Something is wrong with the ammo situation.
And don't get me started on vehicles, the only thing you can do is switch to armor rounds, which in truth work well in shooing off air vehicles.
The anti tank mine is the only way to go, its suicide of course, but sometimes you get a satisfying kill when you deny armor from capping.
The Liz rockets are so-so, its a stand-off weapon that never gets a kill or drive off armor and its super slow to turn, pretty difficult to hit any air vehicles unless they are right above you and steady. Even then, all they have to do is wiggle their wings and the rocket goes wide.
The engi in this game isn't as satisfying as previous titles, I don't seem to be able to contribute to the team like I'm used to.
