Engineers can score a ton of base xp

For many of us who are constantly grinding, base xp is our friend or enemy. It along with battle hero rewards, are what players, especially F2P, need to focus on to progress faster. For many, it’s a bit of a mystery how it’s earned. This post will illustrate one of the ways to bump up that base xp, an extreme case, but hopefully food for thought.
I’ve noticed that many players resist playing engineers, so I wanted to play a round where I focused on building fortifications (useful fortifications that the team would use) and always had a useable rally beacon down.
The results were quite surprising to me. Low leaderboard score, a modest number of kills, lots of squads lost (I just kept building in the hot zone while defending) but a very healthy amount of base xp earned.
As we know, base xp is the amount earned BEFORE premium time/squad bonuses, victory/battle hero multipliers are added.
To me, this shows how unrelated the leaderboard score is to the amount of base XP earned.
If this encourages even one player to add and use engineers to their infantry squads that would be worth the post.

Engineer is must have in EVERY squad but somehow 98% players doesn’t have or use them.

With 2x extra rally point you just win more games.

meh 23k for 29 minute game not as worth as grinding with FG42

I’m pretty sure that you missed the entire point of the post

I always start with an engineer squad to find a decent place to put that spawnbeacon somewhere useful. Afterwards ammo crates and if time and place is suitable 1-2 AAs. engineers are just the most important class in the game IMHO.
