Just a simple suggestion. Have tried fixing allied tanks when I am an engineer squad but no luck. It would be really good if the engineers could fix tanks so as for the crew not to have to get out and many times die doing so.

You can equip soldiers with tool boxes to let them repair. You can buy more toolboxes from logistics.

well the crew getting killed is why people want smoke rounds for tanks.

@4004233 Seriously? Dang that one I did not know. Thought the engineers already had the tools since they build all their stuff. Thanks 
there were on the german side the Nebelkerz on the tank at least i think the were named so an the allied had smoke rounds for the tank cannon
@6649589 Well you can just open the hatch a bit and pop some smoke. They can just put that feature if the crew carries smoke grenades
German diesel-electric engines have an automatic smoke generator built in
I think most tanks had grenade ports, so don’t need to open the hatch.
Engineers not being able to fix tanks without toolboxes is simple. It is whole another matter of tools and resources to repair a tank than it is to build barbed wire, sandbags and gun emplacements. Some of the stuff and materials overlap, but definitily not all.
Somesort of jury rig repairs could be alright. Like engineers being able to restore treads to SOME working capacity.
How about add on boxes for tanks that can hold extra toolboxes or ammo, medkits etc.
Why they should? Engineers are not mechanics that repair vehicles.
@9082695 Yes that is true. Its just that when you set up a whole anti tank or anti air weapon in seconds you could at least patch up the threads as you mentioned. Not completely yes but at least make the tank movable.
@61363256 That you can also give to the surrounding infantry squads. Like a moving supply box attached on the sides of the tank. That would be cool
@24629012 As above mentioned, cannot post many @ in one post, since they can in seconds construct whole anti tank and AA guns. It is for sure a different department put at least the mechanic parts. If not the engine ok I get it but the rest should be possible.
It was a joke about them catching fire constantly

hi from discord here) i’d agree to TC as random people won’t just take tools while these little maps make you sit in your tank and not get out, so engineer’s help will be nececcary
@1305019 Yes and its not too much either because a tank can be destroyed quite easily. You just take a squad member you do not care about and charge against the tank. Throw the TNT at the last second so the tanks go down alongside you. Would not happen if the infantry supported you tho but that almost never happens.
