And you're missing a key point here... even if you do see that C4 and you go back to the base to disarm it, that's at least 30 seconds or so that your tank is out of commission. That's 30 seconds of advantage for the other team, especially if there's a bunch of tanks already at your base when people decide to get friendly with the plastique.

Engineers don't need any more incentive to repair vehicles, either. The incentive is that your team's investment doesn't go down the tubes, and the enemies get owned by tanks. I don't repair to make money, I repair so other people on my team will be there to cover me later when I feel like pulling covert ops action or sniping. If your teammates can't understand a simple concept like that, find a new team.
