Bamm i fixed shovels usefulness and a sacrifice for quality of life with the mg nest

  • Shovels: instead of needing the player to manually dig a hole, instead they now dig a pre determined amount of dirt that can be seen on the ground exactly like the engineer buildings, as a green silhouette when possible to dig and a red one when impossible, to balance, you can add some 3 to 5 seconds digging time for “balance”

  • mg nest: mg nest are at the moment, cumbersome to use, takes too much time to build and cost a whopping 12 engineer resources which is a absurd for just sandbag wall and a mg, realistic speaking at least

So i propose a sacrifice: remove mg nest infinite ammo for these benefits:

•lower than 8 or for 8 resources

•half the building time without the building speed perk
In exchange of that, the mg will now have limited ammo that when depleted will be needed to be reloaded the same way the AT/AA is reloaded,
Half the initial price of the mg nest

•it will have around 500 or 1000 ammo reserve initially and when reloaded

Don’t even try it, barely anyone uses the mg nest since it’s “camping” (tactical holding a position) so this change won’t affect anyone.

vast majority of engineer objects are too time consuming to really utilize, most matches move way too quickly for any digging in to be remotely relevant to the game.

Digging is the same way, takes too long to be effective

I’d say 1/4 of tools avalable are too slow to use them in battle.

What’s your point ? Everyone knows that engineers offensive-defensive buildings are to be used to “dig” in and hold on to positions, digging is already useless because of how slow it is, i just want it to dig a big premade hole instead of it being manually, it’s a useless addition but i want to see what i can make with it

He is stating that how ever fast or usefull a tool may be, the game pace it’s too fast for them to be usefull.

And i agree. I rarely use something besides a spawn point and sandbag to cover it and ammo boxes / barbewire on a point entrance just because.

I actually asked for this sometime a go.
I want shovel equipped troops to have basic pre fabricated defenses.
Give them just a few options with enough resources to build 2 or 3.
Also prefabbed trenches too.

Build the MG nest with your squad mate and it goes way much faster. Same goes for everything. Just push x at the blueprint when starting to build and one of your squad mates will help you build it.

I also think they are working on an ammo system for the Mg nests. This since you can already see an ammo UI while its mounted if im not mistaken, or maybe i am and was looking at my own ammo all the time ^^

Even if you do dig in it takes 2 explosive packs to deconstruct literally everything you built with the exception of hedgehogs

Why would a dug hole be destructible ?

You were talking about engineers too not just shovels, dig in means to fortify and defend

Nah i was talking about how shovels should work like the engineer hammer when digging, a premade hole that you can place where it’s green and then start digging/constructing
