Unique recon squad building

In game, there are some different squad-specific buildings such as ampulomet, high-caliber machinegun and etc. Therefore, I suggest some variants of recon squad specific building (you can add one or more, idk):

1) Periscope.

Sandbags with a periscope behind that peaks above them:

Mechanics: A player can “seat in” periscope and he can look in 120-140 degree horizontally and 60 degree vertically up and down. He can magnify in one or two magnifications, he can mark enemies. Periscope marks are visible a little differently than regular player mark and they stay on objects for much longer time - 3x times longer.

Additionally, you can add a distance to periscope marks. It shows the distance from the mark to every player. Can be useful for anti-tank bazookas and such.

2) Camo net.

Camouflage net that can be built in two variants: Camo “roof” that hides an object from above or Camo “wall”:

Camo roof


Camo wall

Mechanics: A player can build a camo net to hide something, for example - sandbags with a rally point behind or machinegun nest. A net is half-transparent from one side and fully opaque from another. Therefore you can shoot and look from behind the camo net. Camo net is fully bullet-transparent, any projectile can fly thorough it freely, but it has very small HP and can be easilly destroyed by explosion.

Additionally, there can be different camo net variants for different maps. Yellow one for sand dunes, green one for forests, camo net with grass for fields and a grey one for cities.

3) Reconnaissance station.

A building thats looks kinda similar to a rally point. But its larger and higher.

No photo, you have to imagine it.

Mechanics: A player can build that station and it will mark enemies, once a minute or less, under open sky in a range around it. Those marks look differently than regular player marks and they dont follow objects/tanks. They are stationary. You can make it so it checks if a station can see an object or not, idk. You can increase its range by building it on higher point. On a rooftop or a watchtower. It passively emits a silent sound and also, when marking, it emits a much louder sound that can tell an enemy that somewhere near there is a recon station, on a rooftop or somewhere else.

A little passive reconnaissance, why not.

No one likes recons ;-;

I like the concept,and I think it can be improved,the marks will have the unit symbol,like assault mark,rifleman,etc. you wont know what unit have but you will know what squad is

The only thing that I could see having a place in this game would be the net cover. And even that is pushing it on how useful it would be. Most players would see right through it especially at a distance with the way the game renders. It would also allow people to build something that they can stand on so they can get into areas that they’re not supposed to. I say this because those same type of camo net covers exist in the Pacific and it’s a common place for snipers to get up on top of and go prone to pick people off.

Last I seen the devs said that they were done adding buildable objects for engineers. The squads that got what they were getting in terms of buildables were already in the game. It’s a shame because they should have at least had larger sandbag walls.

I see the recon station as overpowered everybody would be playing as recon then and it would just become a sniper fest. Just so they can build that particular engineer building and mark every player on the map around it. Besides the framework for this game doesn’t allow exact marking only estimation upon last known position, so something like the recon station would never work with their current system they’d have to rework the entire game which is something they will never do.

The Periscope system while interesting I feel is useless, not even the binoculars have any sort of benefit over regular marking. So I could see this being no different.

I dont think you can really climb on a light net thats put on sticks…

Oh wait, what? In Enlisted you can just casually sit on top? Welp :confused:

I have had my fair share of proning on those with an LMG. Lol It’s actually quite effective.
