I’ve seen a lot of people using it lately, so I’ve tried it myself and it helps a lot.
It can kill a lot of enemy tanks and infantry if you can place it in unexpected and appropriate places.
My recent favorite is to place it in a position where the CP can be targeted and fire a barrage of anti-personnel round, the CP empties and is promptly occupied by the allies.
How do you use it?

Got a pal who seldom plays. He’s under lvl 10 in all factions.
But he master the engineer class. Doesn’t matter if the biggest tank or the most dangerous plane appears, he build stuff to take them out…
… and ends up with more vehicles kills than pilots and tankers (unless a bomber formation appears).
Did so for a long time, waiting for the combined factions and battle rating conversion to join the game again.
It makes me laugh when ppl write that the engineer squad is useless.

Is there such a person?
I wanted to use AA so I always had an engineer on my team.
Now that I have found ATguns to be quite useful as well, I can never leave the engineer out of my team again. 
Many say the squad (not the class) is mostly useless now, because most engineers can build stuff corresponding to the squad they are in, like hmg when in lmg squad, AT gun when in bomber squad…
But the engy squad can do it all. They can be ready for all eventualities, can equip SF rifles, NOW SHOTGUNS (I like auto 5), semi autos, and you can have 6 (or was it 7?) Of them in the squad. Jack of all trades squad, that has access to every buildings.

Wow. I can’t imagine who would say that. Engineer squads are super important! Potentially, most important.

my issue is that it’s hard to place it down most of the time and the angle of engage is also pretty bad.
I wish you could move it in shooting position if you have squad operating it with you

I really like to play engineer squad from time to time and haras enemies with AT and AA guns.
Typically I place my AT gun on a flank very close to enemy vehicle spawn. And I try to sideshot everything I see.
I’d do it more often if not stupid slots limit.

Engineer is pretty much the only non replaceable in every line up for me lol
Back in the begining AT guns were used alot aswell. Funny to see that trend come around again.

Things people have never said…
i find HMG to be more effective depending on the campaign. AT gun is situational specially cause they didnt fix shaking problem when built on uneven ground…
The few times you looked, perhaps. I also wrote “squad” and not “class” in case that’s what puzzled you.
Tank? No, planes and infantry, I mean good luck pin point every crew on the T28 before he turn you into swiss cheese
