    Given that any engineer can stop a tank with a few walls, or plug a hole in a wall of walls with a turret or camera, and all engineer buildings can stop tanks until they are destroyed, I think we need to implement some sort of construction time in which a building is somewhat ghostly and is destroyed if an enemy tank rams it at speed (damage is proportional to speed and tank weight). Or, perhaps we do something similar to Gang Garrison 2's engineer buildings (only turrets right now); construction goes on automatically but damage rolls back construction by up to 50% or so. Or maybe we could just make it so that each engineer spawns with some sort of TF2-style "metal" ammo, used only for engineer buildings, which can be "restocked".

    RE: Engie-placed ammo boxes: Perhaps a delay coule be added to that, so that:
    1. The player hears an aircraft overhead
    2. The crate drops to the ground in front of the player as a prop, possibly with a parachute
    3. The crate sticks itself to the ground when it stops sliding (or its movement drops to below 0.1 MPH)

    Bad idea, engies are pretty useless against tanks anyway.

    They can only restrict tanks, not kill them.

    What, the so called "antitank" class which does piss all against most vehicles.

    All tank armor should be vulnerable to grens except one armor (you figure which one) that way the tank driver decides who he fears more... tanks or grens.
