I don't know what class to do next. I'm nearing my end as Support for Expert, and I've already got Recon Gold. So which should I choose? Here is why I am leaning towards both kits:

Assault: I have all unlocks except for AMH, Smoke Grenade and Voss - but I hate the Voss.
Expert Assault and Expert Heal (I'm a point whore)
Reviver will earn me a few points and pins
Titan assault / defend means lots of healing points

Engineer: I have all unlocks except for SAAW 86
I play Titan more than Conquest, and Titan has way more vehicles
Expert Engineer and Expert Repair (I'm a point whore)

Thoughts? I have around 20 hours in each class.

With assault all you need to get you through are the pk rockets i love them.

Yes, if you play conquest only in city maps.
Try Verdun, Suez, Shuhia and Minsk in conquest mode.

Basically, this is what I'd do.

It depends on which you think is MOAR FUNNAR!

Personally I dig assault, and thus have played more as assault (not to mention that I waited until I could unlock the Pilium to really get into the engineer class). I rarely play in a vehicle and spend more time hunting them instead so the engineer class is limited in that aspect. I like to point whore so assault on a decent conquest/titan round can net a good 250 points when counting squad assists/success points and rescue pins.

Basically that's a long winded version of this:

I don't know, if you are playing titan alot more go for engi and then tank whore for the next thirty hours (you do need your armor badge too after all).

No matter which one you do get the advanced medic hub next, it is very useful.

I do have a unlock credit so might use it on the AMH. For now though, I think I might just go with Engineer and ground hunt for most of the round. I love the SMGs and fatherted has indeed killed me SO many times with them.

engineer.

i usually dominate with that class more than any other kind on the titan maps.
and the smg's have some stopping power.

Voted Assault because the defib is an absolute necessity. I'm not sure why you hate the Voss because in close quarters only the Lambert beats it. But if you're set on not having the Voss, then just pick up the defib and immediately start going for the Pilum . . . it is simply awesome.

In titan, I would say engi on the ground and assault in the titan itself - simply because assault in the titan is a point farm, with rockets, heals revives etc and on the ground assault is not as good as engineer

I think engineer works well on Titan on the ground because people are on the lookout more for buggies/tanks/apcs... so they don't spot infantry as fast. Which allows the SMG to be brought into a close enough range to get the kill, whereas on Conquest maps, in close-quarters fighting, you constantly expect infantry to be round the next corner...

Which might be because they almost always are, in my experience, heh.

Anyway, I hate assault in this game - I can't quite seem to get the hang of the assualt rifles and I'm not really sure why.

I'd go for assault...I find you can be far more useful to your team as a medic and there is alot of points involved. As assualt I'm in the top three (mostly gold) each round more often than not.

Yeah but he seems like he is after some skill so doesnt want to unlock the voss.

Scar11 pwns the voss anyway. Pity so many dont know how to use it very well.

To each his own. I prefer the larger clip on the voss over the power of the scar11, but usually only on the titan. Outside I tend to stick to the default ARs or Baur.

...completely off topic, but have you heard the new Combichrist album yet? It's "funtastic!"
