Give us the ablity to build MG nests outside of the MG squad

We should able to build MG nests outside of just using the MG squad. If the radioman can call for smoke artillery and airdropped supplies outside of the radio squad then the Engineer and Machine Gunner should be able to build MG nests outside of MG squads. They don’t have to be HMGs such as the MG131, the MG34 is good enough. This should apply for Machine Gunners I and II. You still need to unlock the squad slot and equip both a machine gunner and engie in the same squad for it to work.

Allow MG nests outside of MG squad.

Engineer 2 can build medium MG nests already

Engi 2 squad can build MG.

No

Not outside of the MG squad. They’re restricted to the MG squad only. I’m saying to remove that restriction just like the radioman calling for bombers outside radio squads.

Firstly no poll secondly Engineer’s are good already and they don’t.

Not sure if you have a very specific idea in mind that I’m missing, but the engineer II squad engineers can build a machine gun nest. No machine gunner or squad necessary. It is usable in any BR depending on the weapons you give them. You can build machine gun nests in BR1 with the Eng II squad.

Yes, they can.

You are simply confusing Hmg, and medium mg.

Hmg is for gunner squads only. Medium mg can be built by engy squads.

I meant they should build MG nests in something like a rifle squad. If the radioman is able to call for smoke artillery and supplies outside their radioman squad, then a Machine Gunner and Engie should be able to build MG nests outside the MG squad too.

I’ve suggested that the basic Engineer squad should be able to build Nests. I don’t think there’s any point in restricting them to Engineer 2

I disagree. Radioman is limited in what they can do outside of radioman squad, engineer should be the same. Defeats the purpose of the “squad” otherwise.

Then there’s no point for the squad upgrade for machine gunners. They’re just another rifleman that can’t do anything. At least this’ll give an incentive to pick the machine gunner slot for squad.

This would be a nerf for many premium squads, which are weaker than regular TT squads, and whose only saving grace is that their engineer can build various types of structures.

If this is allowed then you should just remove all restrictions… like being able to build AA on rifleman squad or assault… which after all neither of those have unique buildable structures.

Its rather interesting how people agree the mg nest should be a unique buildable but engis are still allowed to have an lmg nest, at gun and their unique buildable, the aa gun.

I’ve never see someone use the AA gun for it’s intended purpose. It’s always used as a Great Value MG nest. And barely that to add because I almost never see it used.

Because its so much easier to use the lmg nest and at gun that they can also build, more kills with less effort

And planes are better for taking out other planes as well. The AA gun is the “someone’s hogging the planes and too incompetent to stop the enemy planes” option and not much else.
