If we stop working and building rally points and securing flank How well do you think you’ll see the games go without any engineer support The game rewards running gun lunatics more than rewards engineers

I think it’s fine. They increased points for engineers around a year ago. Rallies aren’t the only thing… ammo, sandbags, etc. Points pile up.
True but assaulters and tankers make more than us And tankers get the magical thing called a cyst with that massive AOE splash.
and Mortar squads screaming for Ammo boxes and when you use it we don’t even get half the points for it all disappears in one click

This, indeed, is kinda unfair.
Maybe there should be a larger forfeit bonus for the engineer when a mortarman or an AT gunner resupplies and instantly sucks the box dry.

It’s odd to me that even if people don’t care about teamplay they don’t build them for selfish reasons, it’s easy points. I think unlocking that engineer spot and building rally is a great way to level a new squad too.
That’s why I avoid Mortar Squats calling for ammo boxes because they can just suck the whole thing down there are other people who need the ammo not them Unless I have spare resources but otherwise ignore them they’re not high priority
I rarely use mortar squads, but when I do I carry my own engineers and build my own boxes to resupply, so I’m autonomous.
And when I’m out of resources and mortar shells, oh well, then it’s YOLO time.

I’m honestly surprised that you’d notice that someone calling for ammo is a mortar squad. If I see a call for an ammo box I scramble to put one nearest the point or the action. If it was a mortar squad asking, hell with them - they could have had their own engineer.

It’s usually at the start of the match and especially in Moscow And you can hear the signature ping going off when it fires

Move to the action and you won’t hear the pings. Problem solved.

If the rewarded points are increased we will see a even bigger surge of sandbag and barbed wire spammers trolling their own team, as it is right now is fine.
you dont get points for teammate contacts of those. lowlifes being lowlifes is not an argument for not giving normal players good things

I’m talking about engineers and their points and how much they get Versus the Meta squads and tank spamming and rocket and bomb spamming
Gotta tell you…most other squads are hard pressed to outscore my engineers…
Yes that’s because of your hard work and not sitting in the area shooting enemies coming into a kill zone or rushing in like a lunatic and shooting at anything that moves Some meta squads actually benefit from your hard work when it should be engineer on the top for doing all the work and making sure he had ammo and the spawn points

Spam sandbags inside the cap and suddenly every defender kill is an assist to you, easy way to farm 100+ engineer points while being detrimental to their own team.
As it is right now is more than enough, being able to reach the frontlines quicker and having ammo nearby is enough reward for me to build my own things.
The building process itself shouldn’t get more points but indeed I think getting more points for “assists”, ammo, kills with your guns (should imo count as your own kills as well since you built it), and wire and sandbags would be cool for sure.
Spawn beacon points are fine though.
