Why would engies need armor? If you're an engineer and doing your job right, you already have depleted uranium M1A2 armor around you and don't need a little Kevlar vest.

Yeah, but what's wrong with Engineers in vehicles? If there's an armor convoy of nothing but engineers, they constantly repair each other making them damn near invincible, and an invaluable asset.Seether wrote:
I'd have to disagree completely with this premise of this post too. I agree that most engys seem to spend their time riding around in vehicles, not running around on the ground repairing them. Furthermore, even if they are on the ground repairing them, I good engy will put the vehicle between himself and the line of fire.
And then there is the AT class...AT is pretty much the only class (I know Spec Ops w/C4 play some factor) that balances out vehicles. To make them more vulnerable would totally offset the game. You might as well not ever be on foot because it would basically just be vehicle v. vehicle.
If engineers had body armor, they'd never get the vehicles.
