He's a LOT less effective now than TFC and early FF, and offense has only gotten better. I guess you're a fan of weak defense.

Considering how it's a unit that can't move and can't protect the engineer from splash damage, why should it be as weak as mobile classes? Also why should it take multiple team members to keep one unit alive? In TFC it took either clever tactics or overwhelming force to take out an sg with just the engineer repairing it. In a 1v1 fight of a class v. a maintained sg, the attacker would usually lose. In FF, almost all the classes can take out a maintained sg in a 1v1 fight. Sure, you can argue this encourages more of a team effort now, but that simply doesn't happen in pub play and it's weakened defense as a whole.

Not a bad idea in itself, except the sg has been gimped hard as it is. It needs multiple boosts to achieve balance outside of pickups, this is only an icing on the cake thing.
