The lonely engineer...
Tanks take more damage now from other tanks and i like that change, but doesnt it further nerf the engineer class? The AP-Pistol seems to have undergone a ninja nerf too dealing only 5 damage to a heavy tank now. They nerfed the ability to fire longer with static weapons what nearly killed the german SAA in its current state now. They made people less depentable on extra ammunition when they buffed the amount of bullets when spawning. The engineer lacks further the choice of interesting gadgets, as every gadget used by the enigneer is available to all other classes.
The only thing the engineer excels at, is bulding cover, building static weapons, ammuniton boxes to replenish gadgets and MMGs as most LMGs work more like assault rifles... what do you think dear reader?

I throw ammo, I counter-repair tanks and spot with supression fire. All of them still works good enough and my squad benefits from it.
People call things always worse than they actually are, just for the sake of "but muh stats and muh better weapons than this!".
Seriously being a Support main followed by Medic I was shocked by how easy this game is when you run Assault.
K/D isn't everything it's true, but shouldn't balanced guns just be a part of good gameplay design?
Support does need something to give it a little spice.
I quite like the idea of any fortifications built by us are tougher to take down and provide protection from being bombed by planes and tanks. It would improve gameplay immensely and narratively it makes sense, it was built by the professionals.
I agree. The amount of mines you need to blow up anything is ridiculous. More often than not a transport drives over three mines without getting destroyed. Three mines should destrroy anything, MAYBE apart from a heavy tank, but 4 should be absolute max. Right now they are next to useless.
I made a thread about the Bazooka being a bit strong (imo obviously) but the changes have really taken it the other way. It's gone from easy 15 - 20 hits to loads of deflections and hits regularly well below 10. As for the grenade pistol.
