Infantry Support Guns should be added as an Engineer building for the Engineer Squad. Infantry Support Guns were light artillery pieces meant to, as it says on the tin, directly support infantry as opposed to long range strategic artillery. We’ve always used AT guns with HE shells as makeshift ISGs but we should finally have a proper weapon specifically for this job
M1 75mm Pack Howitzer
these are functionally buildable tank shelling machines… with the current ability of them to basically lock down capture points while from afar and not using the slot for a tank i don’t think they belong.
Thank you for your post.
I voted yes, but Im not sure.
My concern is more that it is difficult enough as an engineer building AA guns and AT guns and now you want a third option.
If this is added then I would demand an increase in the amount of engineer build points, or engineers be given trucks to make them mobile which would resupply said build points (say 2 or 3 resupplies then thats it).
These trucks could also assist in moving AT, AA and ISGs.
As has been said Id also be concerned whether they would lead to the return of artillery spam. Some players may recall especially pre merge when you used to try and capture a point and it was just constant artillery from friendly and enemy forces, bombs, air strikes, it was bloody ridiculous.
Maybe these could be added as features of maps but actually use-able?
Like that random PaK AT gun in the Wald map?
Weird logic, so having a third option is actually bad? No one forces you to build AA gun, AT gun and infantry support gun at the same time, you can always choose the stuff you want to build. I don’t see why you need more engineer build point if more option is added.
Havent you played Enlisted?
You frequently need rallypoint, AT AND AA gun.
Too many planes, OP tanks, plus no one else is building rallies.
Destroying one and building another is not practical especially when AA guns need to be waaaaayyyyy away from the frontline to avoid being sniped or swarmed.
If you think those stuff are more important, then don’t waste your build point on infantry support gun. No one forces you to build it.
That is the point, you choose what to use your points on
ISG complete the trifecta. AA for planes, AT for tanks, and this for infantry
