and? its not like you lose games cause someone placed a hedgehog in a doorway, if it annoys you that much just remove it. The last time I saw a hedgehog in a doorway was months ago, I just sat behind the door, destroyed it, enjoyed 6 free points and moved on.
This is due to the prevalence of players spamming barbwire in door ways. It hurts BOTH teams when players do this.
There are SEVERAL game exploits that come about from placing Czech Hedgehogs indoors. Meanwhile, they are basically NEVER used for their intended role.
Its really not as bad as you would think. We’ve tested it in custom games (only deconstructing with engineers and otherwise using TNT and other methods. It actually made the game CONSIDERABLY more fun for both the Attackers and Defenders.
It incentivizes players to break away from the meta of grenade and ammo pouches as well. Helping to reduce grenade spam a considerable amount, and even increasing the frequency at which SMOKE grenades are taken. (This is because fornications become much more viable, players are more likely to try to flank them or push past by blinding with smoke.)

banning certain ways and places for fortifications just leaves new players confused. They have to figure out by themselves why placing barbed wire on the point hinders them more when playing the defending side then it harms the attackers. I used to place barbed wire on objectives when I first started playing the game and quickly realised that it never really helped in defending the point and that its just a waste of time that can be used more efficiently by pushing the attackers as close to the grey zone as possible and draining their tickets. When I see someone on my team placing barbed wire on the point I remove it and explain why it doesn’t belong there and if they want to place it to place it close to the grey zone.
I give every soldier a large grenade pouch with one explosive pack and two smokes, great to cover open ground. Does it really change the game that much if you would need tools to desrtoy fortifications? I play with 2 engineer squads anyway, so I don’t really care and even if you play with only 1 or none you have an engineer in every squad so if you need to destroy something you just use him. I don’t really see how that would make a difference.
