Introduction:
hello!
today, with this post, i wanna give some tips for the newer people that don’t know how to build or make some good positions. and help them by giving them an initial idea of what an enginner can do in enlisted. but before, it’s important to know a bit of basics
When talking about enginner, we are talking about an important soldier that has an unique role, such as building defencive structures, build powerfull weapons to deal against infantry, tanks and airplanes. most of the time, well played enginners that can change the outcomes of a battle.
Know Your Tools!
As a enginner, your best friend is gonna be your hammer.
once you equipped the hammer, you will be able to construct anything that you want by pressing Right Click, and select the wanted building.
it will appear this menu where there will be displayed:
as you can see, the menu will tell you:
- The name it’s the name of the constructable object,
- how many resourches this object will require to be constructed,
- and how many resourches/construction point, have left at his disposal.
because, each enginner has 20 Construct point and cannot be refilled.
if you want to construct more, you will have to switch enginner.
Let’s have a look at what he can build:
Note: the limits that you see, are applied for the entire squad. meaning that you can’t build more than 2 AA, more than 10 sandbags ecc.
NOTE: Dismantle time it’s meant as user’s fortification, in this chase, if you have to remove your own buildings. this it’s not accurate if you dismantle enemy’s fortifications. because it might take more time.

it’s a machine gun mounted on a sandbag.

Usefull to Refill Primary Weapon Ammonitions.
Can only be destroyed by manual dismantle.
and lasty, don’t forget about your AI teammate, those are the soldiers that are gonna help you in the job. currently, they cannot use guns, or help you to finish some buildings. but behind cover, they will help you. just remember, Press V ( mark button ) and the IA will keep an eye on that direction and eventually fire upon enemy forces.
Examples on how to use effectively your fortifications:
AT/AA Defencive Position:
as you can see, this is a simple and effective structure that can be usefull in defence.
Analysis in depth:
this, is one of the many positions that everyone can build, with just 1 enginner.
it’s made with one cannon, six sandbags and two Hedgehogs.
in order to be protected by the flanks if your position get overrunned by enemy troops and give a , czeck hedgehogs to give more frontal cover for your teammates, and prevent from any tank to ram your gun.
Note: hedgehogs are not required if you are gonna use it for AA purpouse.
and to be effective, leave some space between the first layer of sandbags, and the second. in order for the AI to take cover. and Everytime that you will use the AT/AA gun, remember to press V towards the enemy, so your AI will look that direction and than, jump in the position. most important, they will take cover behind the sandbags. where the green triangles are.
But as a enginner, it’s not the only thing that you can build. if you have to defend a house, don’t forgett to barricate windows, doors and everything possible so that you can defend a point, or a spawn point.
but less talking, and more showing.
and lastly, as a enginner it’s always usefull having some spawn points for your team. so that you can get more troops on the front faster. if possible, the best would be on the house. but whenever it’s not possible, try to build a smaller outpost covered by the jungle and wider much as possible so it won’t get destroyed by one singular nade.
like this.
As doing so, you will provide good cover for your teammates, it’s essential so they don’t get melted down by something or someone and they will retaliate if there is more than good cover. be aware of artillery strikes.
What To Avoid!
do not build anything inside thin wood houses such as:
or anything behind Hay
Because Bullet Penetration Is A Thing!
Conclusion;
for now this is everything that you need to know. as you know, and as basic knowledge i hope that it’s gonna help someone. i will updated it if further buildings will be added or any other parameter will be changed.
for the veterans, if they think that i missed something out, let me know by writing something down. and i’ll might add it 
or general thoughts.
for the rest,
cheers everyone ^^
