Digging

[Ti-Ben666@psn]

I don’t know about all of you, but i always equip all my soldiers with a shovel. Suggestion is : how about we can order squad to dig by themselves? We would have like 2 option : trench or foxhole. You would order from there to there while you construct other stuff. Oh and another thing about digging : depth! It varies with campaign. I always play Normandy and when in trench i can barely fight off enemy, its too deep my gun shoot at dirt.

Trenching is an extremely valuable tool, but can also bite your team in the rear if done in excess or at random. I do like the idea (and suggested it myself in the past) to order AI to dig ALONGSIDE of you to make wider trenches in one go. As far as depth, I much prefer the deep trenches like Normandy has. They provide more cover when used for troops, as well as are more lethal when used with barbwire.

Advanced squad orders

i’ve already made similar suggestion (Squad orders using maps), but i will write it more detailed now let us control squad through map, sometimes it is impossible to tell squad where to go due to uneven terrain let us draw lines on map, on which squad would position, here is a screenshot of how that would look from some other game, the green dots indicate where units will position themself (since one cannot be so precise on the map, squad would on default position themself near the line): …

you might want to check my other suggestions as well, im sure you will like them

I have really been liking shovels, they are almost necessary for Pacific. However they are just too slow sometimes. So they need to be improved to where one person can do it quicker, and/or players can order their squad to dig in eligible locations. I saw someones post about upgrading shovels some time ago, where you place dig “placements” similar to building with an engineer.

You can actually dig faster with the melee attack perk. + 100% damage and 20% (is it 20%? just ain’t sure) melee attack speed. At first i was thinking its a good bug making me dig faster, but now i put this perk on soldiers whenever possible

oh wow! I never thought about that. Definitely seems intentional, ill need to make a diggy squad then
