mg squads should have firing port sand bags so they can build more fortified shooting areas. higher brs could introduce gun shields that could be shot off like the premium japanse mg squad. could also add the ability to fix map placed mg nests with their engineers.
sniper squads should have a window cover buildable boarding it up mostly except for a firing hole allowing you to make sniper hides, and help fortify objectives inside houses. alongside a sniper dummy which should make false hit marks and highlight whoever shoots it.
at squads could have a demolitions box buildable a pallet of explosives allowing you to restock mines and grenades tho its fragile and will explode if destroyed additionally adding more ammo to their at gun over the basic engineer squad would help them fill in their role better leaving engineers as the jack of all but cementing at squads as the true demo guys
Should they add new buildables to these squads

I like most if not all the builds, the sniper dummys sound cool though im unsure on it directly highlighting you for hitting it, a map ping only for you similar for where your mortars are landing type marker that vanishes after a short bit makes more sense, besides that the rest seems good.

wasnt a map ping kinda a highlight was the idea as if ur sniper traced the shot for those guys hiding in shadows or bushes pot shotting at you or a floating marker above the shooter only the sniper sees
boarded up windows can be 1 hit with axes as a counter and give axes uttility
Fun fact:
my favourite mg, the Maxim, used to come with it’s iconic shield and it was great… But… they gutted my mg and removed it…

these ideas should make mg nests a little better later on aswell as make lesser used squads more uniqe
I think the different sandbags styles already in the game can work
There are 2 of them with holes in the middle, they seem to be leftovers from some scrapped ideas very early in the game’s development

sand bags are abit to obvious the idea was boarding up windows leaving a hole in the center it blends better with the environment and could be placed on the ground to make improv sniper cover
the sand bag with hole i suggested for mg squads so they can set up lanes of fire

but that might be a bit too situational, like how would there be a window if you are in the desert of tunisia
Anyways thats a cool idea, but i think the devs could give their old ideas another thought

many little houses on all maps plus letting it be placed free standing fixes that abit wood is alot less conspicuous than sand bags

Tons of maps have windows with sandbags in them. It’s not that out of place
alot more are boarded up tho and sand bags stick out more with the wood one it also would allow bullets to pass through making it not replace sand bags for cover
