Buffing and incentivizing engineering!

Hey everyone name is ModGage I play on Xbox primary Russians. I was max level on Moscow and level 23-25 on Stalingrad and Berlin. If you’ve ever played with a good engineer you know that there are huge benefits to having them on your team. Hedgehogs blocking tanks, sandbags blocking bullets and protecting your team, barbwire slowing down your enemies, and an MG watching your front or flank. As someone who occasionally plays engineer myself I love it but there is not enough flexibility for some situations, we should be able to stack sandbags, make walls out of concrete that are harder to break but cost more materials. Even putting the MG higher or lower could help a ton. We need more options when it comes to defending or attacking a point and combat engineers have always filled that gap with ingenuity. If we keep our engineers limited we are only limiting an amazing play style. Thanks for taking the time to read over this.

I will give you a quick resume: DF don’t care about engeniers, only care of zerg rush and increase this, if you check older posts from me, from dark reaper, greyparrot, and other users, we make many things for make engies more fun and for defenders, they ignore us, so give up your breath

Can’t give up brother as someone who plays both I want to be able to fight a well fortified position and I want people to struggle to take my objective that I put together.

They need to remove conquest and add a more slow paced mode where the engi can shine.
Anyway, believe me or not, the best mode for the engineers right now is Train Escort.
P.S
I need two screenshoots of the maps of Train Escort to do a guide, someone have them?

I’m bringing my group of guys from Xbox to help spread the word. Hopefully they take us seriously there’s not many of us but it’s 20 more guys advocating for engineers and better gameplay

My problem is the lack of time. The game needs to be slowed down more. Longer cap times and more tickets

To make ppl use engineers more, in old stalingrad campaign devs gave them assault rifles.
Ammount of rally points and other engineering structures went through the roof. /s

And in tunesia they made engineers avalable at level 6. Also a great help.

Definitely not a living God but he’s good

I like that suggestion

I like these suggestions. I think the best (and easiest) way to buff engineers right now is to have engineer bots start building anything you place down the moment you place it down. What I mean by this is if you are playing as the engi squad, having like 5 engineers with you, the moment you start building something the other engineers should instantly whip out their hammers and come running to build it, without having to spam X on whatever it is you’re trying to build (unless they have another order and/or are engaged in combat). This would make playing engineers a lot more dynamic and in tune with the fast-paced nature of the gameplay. This could also allow you to get on the objectives a lot faster with any other squad that has engis and incentivize more players to build rally points; having your one engineer from that squad build rally points in the back, while the rest of your squad is rushing the point, instead of having to sit back awkwardly, holding down the left click for half a minute while the final objective is being overrun by the enemy.

Well when your comrades get here it won’t be bad to have more hands helping us in the defender topics and hopefully in the future you can use this as well because it doesn’t hurt to have more fortification types in our arsenal.
