I believe engineers need more to their building to make them increasingly useful such as
1: straight sand bag walls so we can fill windows better.
2: supply box’s, would allow other players to fill up on supplies such as tools, smoke grenades, syringes, med boxes (if your a medic).
3: vehicle depot, would be a longer build also for engineer 2s exclusively. It would allow for you to spawn squad cars or trucks and would give alot of points to whoever destroyed it as well as it would only allow for up to 2 vehicle spawns at a time.( If your vehicle gets destroyed it would go back to the garage.)
4: camouflage nets, would make for great spawn point hiders as well as a vantage point for snipers and flanking troops.
5: more barbed wire sizes for more complex defense builds.
No, it’s already annoying when teammates block off every window on cap which
A. Prevents you from mowing down enemies while on cap
And
B. Makes it harder to get on and off cap quickly and easily
Supply boxes
Sure why not
Vehicle Depot
Yeah idk. Using the vehicles already found around the map usually just results in getting squad wiped
Camouflage nets
Sure why not
More barbwire sizes
No, barbwire is already cancer and half the time teammates self sabatoage by building defences in such a way that it makes it difficult for their teammates to get back to cap
First off, I agree there needs to be some expansions to engineers capabilities.
Sand bags: I definitely see both sides of the conversation. I agree taller sandbags would be nice as well as ESPECIALLY windowed sandbag walls. However, it’s also annoying when a teammate blocks ALL windows, including from their teams’ side.
My suggested SOLUTION:
Make a low sandbag wall a “V” cut out. Counts as a variation of sandbag wall and counts against limit.
Make sandbags stackable up to 2 high. When you look above the first, it would snap into position.
This means you can build taller sandbag walls, and windowed walls, but in doing so you go toward your limit, so it’s less likely that a teammate will be able to block ALL windows.
I do not believe the vehicle depot would be a good idea considering how much people already use vehicles as window and door blockers. Because once they are broken, the only way to move the remains are to push with a tank, and that’s a death sentence.
Camo netting would be interesting.
Barb wire is a topic that deserves its own section. It’s absolutely a necessity, but also can be overused by teammates and kill their own guys. Honestly, I think it should keep the slow effect but remove friendly fire damage.
As far as adding an additional type, I would like to see the addition of a square type that can cover trenches. So crouching or proning inside is fine, but standing up or trying to jump in from above gets them caught.
On the supply box part: grenades are already brutal, there should not be a way to replenish. As far as Medkits, Medics already drop a box of medical supplies for this purpose. Unfortunately there are not medics in every campaign.
Just no. There’s chaos enough already. We don’t need even more explosives.
Vehicles are powerful enough already and reducing walk time isn’t necessary if people just learn to build rally points.
Good idea.
Good idea. Barb wire should also be able to be snapped along the straight sandbag walls, to make a combo of the two.
As another addition they should add the ability to board off windows with wooden planks.
It doesn’t block off bullets, but it does block off vision and prevents projectiles from being thrown in.
Should also be easily removeable by all engineers.
Another thing should be the option the dig trenches.
Camo netting can be used on top of those.
I suggest you can refill the drinking bottles, or we’ll let the pioneer build a drinking fountain
at least as long as there are no faction specific stamina upgrades like Panzerschokolade, Vodka or Coca Cola
The things that are needed in the game and the things that are useless have got the upper hand. I don’t know how to behave in the forum anymore, I read so much serious nonsense every day.
Everything important slowly disappears in the fog and in disinterest, which in turn, leads to the anger which N00bs gets 100% in the game.
As it is currently, you can already dig trenches with a shovel. They generally aren’t as clean as the ones already in the map, but they serve their purpose. On this note though, I’d say being able to build the trench bridges would be nice. Or at least something to go over the top.
