Soo, what is an "engineer" then? if not to repair friendly vehicles and eliminate enemy vehicles "class"?

By virtue of this logic, Assault shouldn't be allowed to carry C5. What is "assault"? Why are they allowed C5?

@S3SSioN_SoL I agree with Ironhead here, but also with you. As Engineer, he should have something to do with vehicles as the main purpose of his existence and so his abilities should focus on that. On the other hand, it doesn't have to be the ability to be effective against vehicles or against all vehicles. 

His passive for example is good for repairing (nobody use it except in the helicopter), so if his ability would be helpful for friendly vehicles, this could make him meaningful, too. To make the specialists good against infantry makes less sense, for that purpose, we have the assault class. Sure, why does they have C5, can't tell you, but their abilities are focused against infantry.

And I think, not every engineer should has to be useful against every vehicle, we could specialize them even more, that they are better against certain types of vehicles.

@S3SSioN_SoL 

What? Engineers have always had a pretty clearly defined role in past BF titles, are you disputing that?

As to assault having C5, do you think I made that call?

EA/Dice are the ones who decided to futz around with adding "classes" a year and a half AFTER the game came out, not me.

They dropped the ball BIG TIME with the engineer "class" by shoehorning Crawford and Boris into that "class", two of the worst specialists BEFORE the class addition and now made so much worse by sticking them into the "alleged" engineer "class" role.
