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...

@Col_LarsenYou’re breezing right over the fact that Engineers in previous titles are infinitely more effective at their Anti vehicle/anti aircraft roles than anything in 2042. Hell even supports in other BF games are more effective at anti vehicle and they can resupply themselves. And those games are unquestionably superior to 2042.
At the very least we need to see the buildable ammo resupply stations in 2042 like we see in BFV. And please don’t insult our intelligence with “but people will hump ammo crates”. The crates are destructible from afar and there are cool downs for resupplying. It’s no different than infinite ammo on an attack chopper or tanks via cooldowns.
In the meantime I’ll just continuously fire my AA rockets or AT then instantly respawn because I know 99% of the time I’m not getting any ammo.
@Zhukov211 That is the good question - what is role of engineer - how powerfull should he be ? In this game no single engineer can take on a tank alone and win. In BF5 he was perhaps way too overpowered - 3 panzerfausts, dynamite and tank bundle nade. One guy could take out a Tiger tank alone - no team play needed here. Think Dice wanted to make sure that to take out tank you need cooperation. Now choppers in this game is wrong - and proof of that is the massive kill streaks they have all the time - stealth and littlebird being the worst. The way littlebird is able to fly is so unrealistic - flares are dead wrong - mini gun that never heats up. ground radar / thermal sights.... no doubt Dice loves choppers very very much !. Currently I'm playing Lis and trying to learn how to fly those damn missiles into choppers. With me I also have c4 and smoke nades. That combo often let me take out tanks alone - smoke nades around tank - run in and 3 c4's and he is dead !
But def. agree - compared to other BF titles the engineer is not on same level. For a team to win you need all - Rao to hack choppers and stealth + soflam to spot. Medics to revive etc - you cannot win this game single handed as in previous titles !
Stationary AA guns / missile systems would be nice + TOW missiles.
