Currently engineers’ buildings just materialise whne they are finished. My proposal is to make building a two staged process.
Stage one is when building is finished in 50%. Then the blueprint is swaped to a building that is not yet usable but is a phisical object seen by everybody.
For example:
sounds solid, its safe to say that im tired aswell of just plopping shit down and having it immediatly functional. also what about ammo boxes? cause my idea could be simple: first stage deploys much rare ammo, second stage deploys the average ammo
surely it would be more logical to reverse this? Stage one would be the common ammo types (pistol/ rifle)? and then increase to rarer ammo types from there?
yeah but first stage will ensure that you cannot easily get the common ammo, otherwise people will just simply build first stage and never the 2nd one, making the 2nd stage pointless
i think the ammo box should have stages depending on what ammo each country used the most
for example americans:
-1 box of 30-06 (7.62x63)
-1 box of .30 carbine (7.62x33)
-1 box of .45 ACP (11.43x23 ACP)
-1 box of 9x19
-1 box of 7.7x56R
-a pack of rockets
or russians:
-1 box of 7.62x54R
-1 box of 7,62x25
-1 box of 6.35x15
-1 box of 7.62x38R
-1 box of 7.62x39
or german:
-1 box of 7.92x57
-1 box of 7.92x33 (stalingrad, normandy, moscow and berlin)
-1 box of 9x19
-1 box of 9x25 (stalingrad)
-1 box of 7.63x25
-1 box of 7.65x17
-a pack of rockets (normandy)
-3 panzerfausts (normandy, berlin, also you cant take all 3 at once)
or italian:
-1 box of 6.5x52
-1 box of 7.35x51
-1 box of 8x59
-1 box of 9x19
-1 box of 9x17
yeah sorry it gets more and more complicated depending on the countries, and some countries used way more ammo types than others, which could easily cripple the fighting abilities of them, such as italians and germans, because of ammo issues
edit: now that i think about it, we should throw in to the list the grenades, because theres currently no way of replenishing grenades on every soldier.
I disagree the game is too fast-paced for that right now. I would like a timer before the game starts that would allow building stuff though. Because now it’s hit or miss if I play an engineer. It’s either you end up losing the first cap fast and don’t have time to build or you dig in and build some really fortified stuff.
Plus what you have suggested may cause a problem what if a person who wanted to build something died but the object is still left unfinished and blocking the way for other people to build their stuff or move.
