Why does is it so hard for the engineer to get points?

Because you get a lot of teamkills with the mines.

And it's not simply poor mine placement. You could place mines in the most obvious places with gaping holes for friendlies to travel through and people will still be too oblivious to avoid them.

And that's not even counting those who do it on purpose. I once got deep into the negatives when my AT mine blew up a full transport chopper. What possessed the pilot to take the road is beyond me.

I'd agree the repair points need to come faster.

I can't imagine trying to get 15 in one round...which is needed for level 2 I believe. Not sure.

I think I've gotten like 8 in a round.

Love the class though. The Jackhammer takes some getting used to, but I'm learning.

You should get one repair point for repairing 50% of a damaged friendly asset, so fully repair 1 Arty = 2 Repair points.

When it comes to AT mines, I would love for team killing with mines to be disabled, but then people are going to do really stupid things with them, like scatter them around their own base just to annoy people.

The only real solution there can be is make the warning much more visable to friendly units much further away. Still, that's not going to stop every idiot from running right into them...
