Historically barbed wire wasn’t that affected by explosives. In fact sometimes explosions made it more difficult. I think the model for the barbed wire, which is more of a fence topping than what you’d actually see, is deceiving. Barbed wire emplacements that could slow down infantry were excruciatingly dense and using explosives again could often lead to a more tangled and less manageable mess.
The point he is making is not that people are using it on a big open space where it’s easy to destroy. He is saying that spamming 10-20 wires on every access point in to a bunker is not good for the game nor realistic.
I’m getting the feeling that you are on of those player who does this but you need to think how it is when you face it. Let’s say that you have 4 access points and they are all full with 10+ wires. it takes like 7 sec to remove 1 and you have all of the enemys shooting with tanks, airplanes etc while 1 guy is trying to cut the wire while being shoot from the inside as well.
I had a game like that before and everyone was throwing demopacks and covering for people cutting it and never got inside.
This is a major flaw on the map and wires should not be usable like that in buildings or make it so you can’t stack them like people tend to do.
And why would anyone in a real war barricade there selfs in with wires? making it a deathtrap for themselfs. (not counting putting it on the roof if there was a hole)
If they wanna make the game kinda realistic i hope they dont listen to players like you.
you missed
This needs to be fixed. I leave on that map when I can spend that time in another game.
I also just tested the sandbags and the barbed wire.
For Sandbags, just throwing anything into the sandbags will break it. Literally throw it into the sandbag and it will break easily. You dont even need the xplosive. A smoke grenade could break it.
For barbed wire, nothing works on it. you have to dismantle.
Tested on practice mode.
Built 10 sandbags, threw a smoke and it broke 7 sandbags easily.
Build 10 barbed wires, none broke from anything.
i destroyerd barbed wire in my previous post with a single Det pack
They burn down with fire - molotovs or flamethrower
wow cool, so we’ve established many counters to barricades unfortunately op doesnt want to change his play style at all so there for it deserves a nerf.
Basically sums up every single thread on the forum aside from buug reportoing
