I sat here thinking, i saw a thread before about removing the explosives from Engineer's and give them more of a support idea.

How about an EOD Requestable kit? with C4 Charges and explosives to demolish, bridges and Insurgents ammo caches

Comments/Sudjestions ?

Well, someone better end up with some heavy dynamite if it is removed from the engineer. We cant be left with a pack of slams and no body-armor.
The removal of explosives a Official thread or a general suggestion?
I really like the engy, only give him smokegrenades.

EOD = Current engy, only without wrench?

Engineers that i've seen tend to either go around using their support type abilities or blowing **** up, but never at the same time

I'd refer to the real life engineer corps for guidance on this, as I understand it engineers have a common level of training with specialities in explosives/vehicle repairs/etc?

EOD, are the ones who destroy ammo caches on the battlefield in Iraq from my understanding, so wouldnt it add realism? While the Engineers should be kept within a Commanders range, or vehicle range where they are to repair/build assets or repair vehicles..

So with an EOD kit, you know your duty and what your supposed to do, i would however suggest giving it a more powerful punch, and no Mines.. keep those with the engineers
