Kit description:

Good engineer is a always a real danger for the enemy heavy and light vehicles. At the same time, he's may be a guardian angel for machines occupied by friendly soldiers. Engineers are equipped with an anti-armor rocket launcher and repair tool HOFF-3000 and a machine pistol. Missiles and HOFF-3000 are often required and really useful on the battlefield, in contrary to the anti-personnel weapons, which is the machine pistol mentioned above. Its accuracy and maximum distance are quite bad, so the gun is, in most cases, useless. That's why Engineers have to ask for cover soldiers with better kits and carbines, Assault units, for example. Engineers are supplemental elements in the squads - they localize and destroy enemy vehicles. Similarly to Recon soldiers with sniper specialization, they should always look for good vantage points. This makes his fight against heavy machinery more efficient.

Unlockable pieces of equipment make Engineer more deadly and allow him to complete his tasks much faster and better. One of his unlockable weapons is anti-aircraft rocket launcher, which in connection with soldier's mobility may give awesome results. Defusing enemy mines and other explosives and planting own ones allow - especially in urban terrain - blocking particular routes and opening some of them for friendly vehicles. However, you must remember about the fact that Engineer soldiers are an easy target for rival Recon and Assault units when they are not supported by teammates.

Good Engineer, above all, should accompany his teammates in order to survive. These teammates may be soldiers and heavy vehicles as well; it doesn't matter if we move with a human being or a machine, enemy tanks, battlewalkers or APC will always get in our way and, of course, it's an opportunity to get a frag. Familiarity with the map is an additional advantage.
