Oh,the only time you see engineers is as drivers in tanks or apcs,hmm....
Guess what,that's their frickin' task!!
Get a tank,keep it alive as long as possible (which even means retreating from the fight to repair)and kill the enemy!
Engage preferably enemy vehicles,infantry is for your assault buddies.
Hell,I got my tank ribbon with an engineer on Clean Sweep and 20 minutes in a (1,the same 1!!) tank is absolutely no problem when you are able to fix it.
If you wanna be alive a little longer on foot you choose the medic,the engineer is just the medic of vehicles.
And as a commander it's always smart to be engineer,you know the old saying:If you want something done properly - do it yourself!You want artillery to support your troops?Fix it!
And one reason for doing this are people like you who don't use engineers properly or just don't use them because they think they are undervalued.
