Well mines are certainly not AA unless for some reason the guy lands his aircraft on you ^^. They also have C4, which is remotely detonated, however C4 is a lot more expensive cert wise. Well I think it is, I forgot what's the price on the first utility pouch upgrade, think it was 400? Might be 200 though, in this case you can get 2 C4 for 400 with this particular suit, which is fairly cheap. 2 C4s destroy anything but a full hp sunderer, which goes up in flames and take like 10secs to explode. 2 AT mines destroy everything including a sunderer and they only cost 200certs(you get 2 for the first point, while you only get 1 C4).
However they nerfed them recently and they're very annoying to use. Specifically, you used to be able to run at a sunderer and drop your 2mines on it quickly and it'd blow up a second later. Now however you have to "deploy" the mines, like your turret or the ammo packs. I believe you can't deploy under a vehicle, it takes a while to deploy and arm, you can't stack them(they have to be separated by about a meter, which is fine but still) and the tend to bug out if you try to deploy them on hills and shit that are too steep. That makes them a lot better at deploying beforehand like on a road where you know vehicles will come soon, while C4 can be used offensively a lot more. You can also C4 your Flash, speed up toward a vehicle and exit the flash then detonate the C4 that's on it once it reaches your target, cool stuff but it tends to do less direct dmg.
Anyway that's the 2 options for Engineers. LA and Medics only get C4, HAs get C4, AV grenades and rocket launcher and Infiltrators get nothing.
Oh also the Engineer tip that most people don't find out unless told about it, if you select your turret(default 5 I think) then press B, it will swap it to a 4mins ammo box that is independant of your equippable ammo box. This is part of the engineer kit at all times. That mean you can replace the other ammo box with mines or C4 or medkits and still are able to supply ammo(and get xp for it).
