Engineers in a good place right now?

I would emphatically say no! It seems the Dice Devs hate the engineer class for whatever reason. I mean Lis is "ok" right now I guess, although she is locked out of the other rockets and it seems to...

Hey all, thanks for the feedback! It's a nice and healthy discussion.

Could I ask you for some key points, or specific Specialists, that you would like to see to receive a change?

@EA_LeeuwKeypoints:

- severe lack of ammo(crates) to resupply rockets.
- Lack of rockets when you spawn.
- Boris is not worth it.
- M5 not doing enough damage, FXM risk/reward or hitrate is atrocious (even before the bugged state) and does barely have an impact due to vehicle-repair options+regen. Especially a problem on 64p playermodes and maps.
- General lack of effective and fun to use tools to deal with vehicles.
- Any synergy between recon (soflam, dart) and engineer is not rewarding nor really effective in BF2042. I blame the frequence of the ample countermeasures.

BF4 did alot things right with the engineer class and the gadgets engineers could choose from, you could learn from that. (there's no SRAW-like launcher for example in BF2042)

Also, you could read the 6 pages of this thread to look for (other) keypoints.
