( by any mean, i understand this is not a priority. do what you must first. )
A Bit of Context:
greetings dear modders and community, today i present you my idea and solution to the current issue of hesco fortifications. which, i’ll then include a link to my mod for you modders to use in case this suggestion will not go through ( so you won’t have to remove all individual and singular hesco barriers like i went through as some level designer decided to go ham with it. It will save you time ).
Current Issue:
as you may know, we are reaching a point where enlisted is becoming increasingly casual and less " realistic " as it once proclaimed to be. more precisely, with the pacific campaign as we all know, someone decided to put HESCO fortifications inside. needless to say that those are from the cold war, not ww2. now, in devs’ defense, they needed to put something of resilient and resistant in order to provide infantry cover, so that wouldn’t’ go down if shoot at. taking that as a reference point, i came with the following: for a possible solution with the tools that i had available
My Replacement:
i went in the editor, and decided to remove all the Hesco’s barriers/fortifications. but, as i don’t like the word simple, i did one better, and made a step ahead by replacing them all with indestructible objects. here is a Before and After on Gatuvu map:

In Conclusion:
now, I’m not trying to be meany or anything, but if a girl ( or more like, a lunatic like me ) that just picked up the editor a few months ago, managed to replace all the Hesco fortifications in a couple of days with breaks and other things in between, how difficult would it be for the level designers team?. it’s kinda scary that… in the development of the map, no one stood back, and questioned the actual barrier being where it shouldn’t belong in the first. so anyway, i really hope devs will do something about it.
here is a mod for those who wants to explore it, and for modders if they want, they can download it and create missions on it. ( although for the latter, please have the decency of at least mention the creator instead of stealing good maps form other players ). for players on the other hand, they can explore Gavutu in it’s entirety for think about new strats to then apply in multiplayer, or see the gorgeous map in it’s entirety without getting shoot at. regarding Guardalcanal, I’ll might do it in the future. but not any time soon, sorry. ( took me quite a bit with this one, i don’t have all this time in the world unfortunately )
