New engineer building ability - Camouflage

Would be nice for engineers to be able to use some of camouflage textures like bushes and leaves and attach them on floor, sand bags or different objects

Why ? Well camouflage was a huge thing in WW2 though in this game it would not represent a major invention, it would be very useful to cover up cannons, MG nests and area around the rally point

Wouldn’t be too op since all these can be in vain if someone marks you, but regardless it has a nice and subtle use on battlefield and can help.

For instance …putting barbed wire and disguising it with various bush camouflages and such

I guess there’s far more combinations that can be done that i cant think of right now. But would use a nice addition to the game.

I believe the game has few camouflage models for tanks that can be implemented as a fortification for engineers. There’s a lot more textures in War Thunder that can be implemented into the game

Unfortunately vehicles already have it but it is monetized.
I’ve suggested something similar before and do think it would be beneficial to the game. Even getting some camo cover over trenches would be very helpful too.

hmm not a fan of idea
I mean engies cop flak for building sandbags etc, imagine the flack you cop, wtf you building a palm tree to put on sandbag, wtf go play Minecraft they will say. hehe

If you are lucky the game will bug out and camouflage your rally for you, by making it invisible

What i was trying to relay is
That people moan about engineers wasting there time building fortifications as it is, and should be better spent just killing.

My meaning, was if they already whinge about time to build sandbags etc, they would go nuts at the time it to add a Camo etc. that’s all,
and ofc unless you ment the camo was added into the sandbags,

i read this as 2 movement to achive

wasn’t trying offend, OP in any way

Ahh didn’t understood you at first

I never encountered anyone complaining about engineers building stuff yet. Usually finding a spot, putting a spawn point, ammo box and maybe a few sand boxes around it takes about 3 minutes top

As for putting barbed wires and then stacking bushes around it that was just an example. The point is that the Enlisted shouldn’t be linear like COD i think devs envisioned more of linear but also sandbox-ish gameplay combined at one
Main idea is to have fun, which is the entire point of this suggestion though

You dont have to agree with me, i appreciate your feedback though

Oh just wait, you will. They troll my posts to hell.

Personally, I take the time to dig trenches (2x5/ wire) and place the wire in the trench. It greatly helps the survival of it making it much more resistant to explosives, as well as much harder to see and escape for enemies. Only problem is the teammates whose argument is always “you shouldn’t be spending time trenching, and if you do, it should be for troops to move freely in, not have barbwire”.
Mostly its just run-and-gun players getting mad when you restrict areas of the battlefield specifically to counter that kind of gameplay from the enemy team.
