I would suggest , a backpack for engineers could have 3 mines instead of 3 medical kits

Neat suggestion, but then if you have a squad of 4-6 engineers, that’s 12-18 mines. That’s a bit excessive. You can already give every soldier a mine without even having to unlock the ability, just gotta reach the level(s) that makes the mines available. So given that any squad can already carry 3-7 or so mines, I think that’s plenty. Though the thought of taking an engineer squad and making my very own minefield is kinda fun, but how annoying would that be in ‘Invasion?’ I’d take my squad and immediately retreat to where the next point will be, if we’re defending, and boom, a dozen or a dozen and a half mines scattered at the base/top of stair wells, at doorways, tank mines on bridges and intersections, etc.
Yeah I think it’d be great fun to set them down and eagerly await when we retreat to the next point to see the kills come in, assuming the game isn’t won by successfully defending the current point, but imagine being on the opposite end of that. Having half or even the majority of your squad taken out, possibly all of them dying while under YOUR control, while running ‘safely’ about a house that was lined with traps? I gave your comment a heart because on the surface it’s a neat idea, but having given it consideration, I advise against it. One mine per soldier seems reasonable, unless you want to make it so that ONLY engineers can carry mines thus having 3 mines per engineer sounds reasonable.

I suggest mor specializing the equipment of the backpacks according to the type of platoon, the soldier’s figure becomes more realistic. It will require more care and strategy when accessing buildings, when identifying mines, you can, for example, fire, or throw grenades. makes the game more realistic, in addition to fast and instinctive movement, adds possibility of more planning.sorry for my bad english
I suggested a backpack for engineers too, but with purpose for more material to build things.

Maybe you like the idea.

Only the assault soldier can use submachine guns, it would make more sense for engineers to use mines, 3 mines with a large backpack, so there would be balance
Personally I think your suggestion is flawed by the fact that literally every soldier (at least as I can recall) can carry one mine. I do not agree with your suggestion, but I encourage you to carry on making the argument for it if you think that it would truly help the game. To each their own, God bless.
