Assault would be OP if it had ammo...that's about the only thing holding it back from being full blown OP on certain maps. Pretty much every AR is a beast and like on maps like Seine/Metro, they dominate because you can run the medic train without worry. There's 0 skill in running with 11 medics and like everyone rambo reviving anytime someone dies close by. The only downside they have is they need that 12th person to be a Support.
Support DOES need to be able to throw C4...it's hard trying to catch a good tanker with his back turned long enough to C4 him. and like half of the time they're running Reactive Armor with a gunner running Proxy making it that much harder. So yeah, I agree C4 throwing would make the class better. LMGs are beasts when you bipod which is why so many people hang back with them...yes it's annoying trying to break out of Metro with an LMG in the middle of the map and like one in the Lockers, but if they're up and like run&gunning then they'll be useless because every enemy is running Assault with better guns.
Recon...well I'm personally glad they removed the Mortar from that class. In BC2 it was always annoying trying to destroy an MCOM or advance on a CQ flag only to have most of your squad sitting back just mortaring from the hills. Yes that was better than the 12x sniper we have today, but I'd rather not reward people for sitting back doing nothing. I honestly think they should remove the 12x scope completely forcing snipers to get CLOSER to the battlefield with an 8x scope, but even an 8x scope is pushing it. OHKO's from 50m would be a nice way to encourage aggressive recon styles IMO.
As for Engi, well for it being the second most played class after Assault, that would be a nice bonus. If I'm playing alone then most of the time I'm the only one trying to RPG tanks which usually ****es me off to the point of running Mines. I'm sure someone hitting 3 rockets into a tank, and like a second person putting the final 1 RPG into them for the kill, is annoying. We NEED Javs in the game for tank balance...if not we'd have every tank running Thermal and like that's pretty OP IMO. Thermal and like Proxy make it nearly impossible to C4 a good tank driver...trust me, I've tried plenty of times to C4 MrsObama on GFaqs and like I consider him one of the smartest tank drivers on BF.
