If tanks are ruining your match, pick Engineer and lean into the dirty work. I've spent plenty of rounds doing nothing but hunting armor, and it's wild how fast you can swing a capture when you're the one deleting tracks and forcing crews to bail. If you want a safe place to practise that timing and spacing, a Bf6 bot lobby can help you build the muscle memory before you try it on real players, and you'll feel the difference once the map turns into a vehicle parade.
Build That Actually Fits The Job
The training path I stick with is Anti-Armor. It's not flashy, it just does what you need: rockets back in the tube sooner, less waiting around while a tank lines up your last known position. For your primary, an SMG makes sense because you're living in alleys, rubble, and blind spots. The PW5A3 is a great fit for that. I run it set up to stay calm in bursts: Compensated Brake, 225mm Factory barrel, Ribbed Stubby grip, and a 50MW Green laser so hip-fire doesn't feel like rolling dice. You're not taking long fights anyway, so don't build it like you are.
Gadgets For Real Armor Pressure
For the main punch, I still trust the RPG-7V2. No lock-on, no hand-holding, just a clean shot that rewards patience. It chunks armor hard, and every now and then you'll tag a low heli that got greedy. Pair it with Anti-Vehicle Mines and you've got options: direct pressure when you've got an angle, and "set it and forget it" punishment on bridges, ramps, and the exits people always use when they panic. For melee, the Sledgehammer isn't a meme. It's a tool. Bust a wall, make a new lane, or finish a disabled vehicle when you're dry and the driver thinks they're safe.
How You Move Matters More Than Your Aim
Engineer isn't about marching at the objective like you're immortal. You're hunting. You're waiting. You're taking the weird route that puts you above the tank instead of in front of it. A lot of players don't respect vertical play, so rooftops and broken stairwells are your best friends. Hit top armor or the rear engine block whenever you can, and don't waste rockets on the thick front plate unless you've got no choice. Also, don't wander alone. You'll burn rockets fast, and having a Support nearby to top you up keeps the pressure constant instead of coming in sad little bursts.
Repair Tool Tricks People Hate
Your Repair Tool isn't just for being nice, though it's huge when your squad's vehicle is duelling and seconds matter. Thermal Overdrive can patch a friendly tank so quickly it feels unfair, and it lets your driver stay aggressive instead of backing off. And yeah, there's the nasty side: if you get close to an enemy tank that's distracted, the Repair Tool can shred it while the crew hesitates, unsure what's even happening. It's risky, but it's also the kind of play that makes armor crews tilt, and if you're the type who also likes grabbing game currency or items without hassle, it's worth knowing that u4gm is a familiar option players bring up for quick service and straightforward ordering.
