Make Destruction Infantry Only

[Post with new format]

Now, hear me out on this.

Tanks being able to dump shells onto the radio equipment you are trying to set up an explosive on is flat out ridiculous. By all logical means, a 75mm shell or 250kg bomb would destroy said objective with ease. So why would you need to walk up and plant a bomb on it? The tank shell would destroy it before you can even get there. It’s, without a doubt, the most illogical and ridiculous mode in the game - at least the other modes feel somewhat historical, and you can suspend your disbelief.

Destruction also is not very playable for infantry, as it is an extremely small objective it is hard to get to in order to set/defuse the bomb on many maps with a tiny objective and unlimited tanks.

Disabling tanks and planes in this mode and making destruction APC (minus 75mm APC) and bike only would help this and make the mode far more believable (and, ideally, disable AT guns or remove their HE, but this is needed for all modes IMO). The infantry don’t have tanks (flat tire or out of gas I guess), ergo, they need to manually destroy the equipment. This would vastly improve the playability and believability of this mode in my opinion, killing 2 birds with one stone, and make it something actually unique.

Thoughts?

  • Yes, disable spawning tanks and planes in destruction
  • No, keep destruction as is

I think they need to have a test run of that before implementing it

Munda trail destruction is horrifically bad for Allies sweeping the points clean with HE spam. Tho I love the combined arms aspect of enlisted as a whole, so I think what would be best is reworking destruction maps with wide open points, to be more enclosed or at least partially so.

Yes, rework the maps, or if the maps aren’t reworked, enable the radio equipment to be destroyed by friendly fire.

This game is supposed to be combined arms

I agree.

Personally I just find wireless sets a strange choice.

Id like to blow up bridges, airfields, ammo dumps etc.

Like actual WWII missions.

In those instances tanks/aircraft would make more sense.

Each map should be changed to have a new objective relevant to that location, such as fuel dumps in Tunisia or a bridge in Normandy.

The maps need to be reworked for destruction missions. Bombs should only be found in places where tanks can not see preferably underground or inside large buildings

IMHO current destruction mode should be removed in favour of invasion which is most desired mode to play. And after introducing soviet - japanese front ( are they working on it ? we don’t know cause we are not informed sadly…) devs should focus on making a separate SPECIAL OPERATIONS mode.
It would be only infantry plus paratroopers, APC and some light vehicles like jeeps with MG, bikes, boats… It would have dedicated maps, just imagine locations with old Wolfenstein Enemy Territory ambience:
Norsk-Hydro (heavy water facilities in Norway)
some Wurzburg radar
Shell refinery (Palembang)
Dnipro dam
reworked current maps could be used with targets like fuel dumps, bridges, railways, airstrips…
I bet this mode would be very popular and it would revive Enlisted…
Ok dreaming over…

nope

Rework maps, not remove “content”.

I must agree with CaptainBeel, currently destruction is just assault game mode with extra steps.

IMO destruction should be about advancing up to meaningful objectives like Bridges and forts, than destroying those.

So half of the game mode would be invasion, but the other half destruction.

Tank and planes should stay in destruction but destruction maps should maybe reworked because yeah some of them for allies are shit and this ones for sure…

Dunno, at least you do not need to simultanously defend two points as Attacker and puts more pressure on defenders.

I like this idea.

Especially the Shell refinery at Palembang. :australia:
