Players are not using engineers for building things

Today the game was totaI mess on all rounds. No rallies, no AT or AA. The score board shows 0 (zero) engineer build buildings. Don’t know if they are lazy or don’t know how-to do something.

I’m using engineer role for building rallies while I flank on sides, but when the enemy team notice our team spawning from on direction where my rally is at, it will soon destroyed by the enemy.

If devs could put something to encourage players to build things. Lower building time or something new stuff to build, that would be great!

The upgrade on AA-gun was what we needed, it works great, thank you for that.

What faction are you on?

No
Engineers are already the best soldiers

sound like it the player fault not the class fault cant blame them tho they are too “insert word relate to iq here”

after all rally is the heart of the team without it you might as well just lose (unless you are stomping then it different saying)

Players actually don’t want to build rallies. Each time there is an event with “build rally” task, suddenly there is a lot of them.

Why? I can only guess.
And my guess is that players want to shoot and don’t want to “waste” time building.

Build better rallies? Mine almost never get destroyed

and with each radio you could focus so much more on pewwpeww shooting rather than running from spawn.

But tbh, quite sure none of us is expecting nobel price winners from ranks of average enlisted player.

My Engineer squad is almost ALWAYS my first squad in game. FIRST thing I always try to do is build a rally point and usually sandbags then , if I can the big gun lol.

You one of them that puts a rally upstairs and then makes it so no AI can ever get out with sandbags?

It’s okay to build in the 1st floor of a building, the AI do seem to work okay with it, but yeah, putting up sandbags will completely confuse them, so not advised.

I just wish they’d follow you through a ground floor window better. It’s infuriating watching them get picked off when they insist on walking around to the door instead of just hurling themselves through the same window you just entered. I’m sure that’s still a work-in-progress though.

I think it’s fine as is Yes it’s unfortunate people don’t build but you’re going to get most matches like that. Incentivizing/buffing engineers isn’t going to fix the problem. What they need is more training on how to properly use an engineer, to go along with that I think the training wheels for engineers should stay on far longer than they currently are. This is the only way to begin to solve the problem but even this will not fully solve the issue. It’s not the game it’s the players at fault here, I’m not blaming the people that play engineers correctly It’s the ones that deploy as an engineer And don’t build.

I dont waste my time building things.
Only ammo box for my squad. AT if I see some threat for my squad.

As I don cap or defend anymore, Ive realised that I get much more XP playing for myself.

You’d get more Xp if youdropped a rally though…

To be fair, don’t know what else thwy are doing because engineer is great!!! One of the underated class i think, can do so much. Yes spawns are always a must but since turning from pure sniper to engineer i have far more fun and xp from the builds! AI get confused when blocking enterances, i love making sandbag walls to defend with barb wire surprise and a mine topper, and when things get spicey when taking baees i hide in a sneaky sandbag fortress to protect against blasted arty strikes and grenades and keep a foothold on the base whilst Soaking up points from spawns, building assists and fortification uses :). You are all welcome :wink: but fooking AI seem to take out my spanners and arty as a first point of kill.

One of the best bits of advice regarding rallies recently was to dig a bit of a hole before dropping them. Way less conspicuous than building sandbags around them. :slight_smile:

Congratulations. You just ousted yourself as the problem. I hope both sides of your pillow are warm

yanks Germans Rutskys im br 2 no point in AAA ort /At no one protects gunners they are cannon fodder the glory boys want kills gen n above do do shit for other players a clan maybe will but ya cant chat to any one no --one replys crap game needs a mic head fones to use to comm with your team m8s would help but gajin didnt add a comms system

i hate that ya stuck climb over sand bags n bang one nade or artiley their all dead
ill think I changed my handle to dead again -
I build most stuff but it says runout of materials AT gun n or a AAA I cant build anything more and I not sure how u get more materials unless u capture a base not sure with engineers my engineers can only build one ATor AAA but I’ve radio n I cant get airstrikes either just artilley

I just started, so I’m still getting a feel, haven’t touched the rally with engineers yet. But people should be aggressive with them…

Coming from Hell Let Loose, Garrisons were everything…

I’ll get to it eventually :joy:

I tried mantling through a window last night to get away from a 105 after missing the faust shot and the game refused to mantle the window sill. I immediately ate some
