Title: "Engineer" Vet
Post by: Tymathee on February 26, 2009, 01:15:22 pm
Ok, Engineers of all types are really tough to vet up now without the incremental vet you get just for winning a game, this includes only Pio's, Engineers and Sappers. I'm wondering if its possible to make it so that engineers gain a percentage of an xp while they're repairing/building (since its the same thing) so that they can actually gain vet somehow. I had a vet one engine one time (got it cuz of 2 schreck pick ups lol) and it had the same vet for 3-4 games before it died. Now i know that each can be equipped with a weapon, so while you can gain vet for repairing/building could u make an option where if they have flamer or piat that they can't and only if they've got say their normal outfit, mine detector or the repair upgrade for the brits

Anyone else have any ideas to make engineering units gain vet somehow? I just feel like they're just there...they get into the battle and gain nothing

If you can't vet up engineers your using them wrong. strap them up with flamethrowers and go pwn some PE they burn them up as if they were covered in oil.

They are covered in oil, makes them fit into the halftrack better.

flamers will burn the shit out of any infantry in a halftack the flame damage is like 3 times moar potent when used on a garrisoned halftracks than a building.
