Is there room for an Engineer class in Battlefield V?


The Engineer hasn't made an appearance in Battlefield since 4. It's duties are now partly the Assault class and the Support class. Yet I think that adding in the Engineer class could be healthy to the game. Right now, there seems to be a distaste with the squad size being lowered from 5 to 4. I played very actively during the BF3 days and was used to 4 squad members. My problem with BF4, and many would agree, was that it had 5 man squads for only 4 roles. Why can't we have a battlefield game with all 5 roles?The Engineer class could be unique in a few ways. Dues to some recent leaks, it would be cool to have the primary weapons be Carbines, and the secondary being the machine pistol rather than a normal pistol. They could carry a limpet, at mines, anti-tank grenade, flare gun, maybe a mortar? A choice between a smoke, sticky, or incendiary grenade. I know the support class has the ability to build fortifications faster and repair vehicles but so could the Engineer. 2 out of 5 sounds like a good ratio for classes with better repair tools.
