I don’t understand the purpose of the last poll and “MG nest should be replaced by realistic guns (…)” option. It is obvious that it is placeholder and even in roadmap it was mentioned that we will get netion specific engineer builds.
You didnt understand my point, I was talking about ‘‘replacing MG on sandbags with different function’’
What developers meant is replacing MG-42 with other guns but they have said nothing about removing MG’s on top of sandbags
We will not know what they meant until they finally replace the placeholder. I just think that it just doesn’t make sense to put that option in the poll now. Wait until we get proper MG nests, and then, if devs just put other MGs on sandbags without proper mount, I will be all on your side to replace them.
In my opinion barbed wire should be destroyable only if you have proper equipment like wire cutters. It would work similarly to current option to dismountle but would require tools. Thanks to that it would be harder to get through.
I would give wire cutters to engineer as a toolkit that consists hammer, wire cutters and what ever we will think is necesarry. Thanks to that engineers would have aslo offencive use, not only deffencive.
That might be a cool idea to make barbed wire more useful but I have one question.
Why can barbed wire be destroyed only by engineer while regular troopers can destroy AT guns just by looking at them for 20 seconds.
Dont get me wrong, your idea is cool but it also needs more changing than just giving wire cutters to engineer. I would suggest to think about this more and then build your own topic on it
Thats cool and all but instead of typing it here, make your own topic and post it to forums.
By doing that, you have much higher chances to be seen by devs.
But I don’t know if it’s worth development time. Yes it’s cool but doesn’t change almost anything and consumes resources that are needed for example to improve AI. Maybe in the future.
Yeah, but there were already post about that so if they really read the forum they should know what community wants. I agree that is would be much better if thy get that at first time, without need to redoing it.
But like I said here and in previous thread, I totally agree that we should have Maxim and Laffete MG. My point is that this one option doesn’t make sense in a poll that is all about balance of the engineer constructions. For example there is no question about giving nation specific AA guns, but rather about how they work and what could be changed.
Sorry if Ive put a black sheep in this poll. I thought introducing different types of machine gun solutions will effect the gameplay (for example both laffete and Maxim are lower than MG on sandbags making them smaller targets but also they will not be able to build them behind walls)
It can, but just have to po pointed. With propers models should come slight reworks like reloading, barrel changing etc. that were pointed a couple times before. Without them we could get the same we have, but better looking.
And here I think we can end this small disagreement - I think we want the same, but to get it we must be as precise as possible.
The MG nest poll has a major red herring option.
It should go without saying that the MG nest isn’t intended to give a German weapon from 1942 to Germans and Russians in 1941, and that it’s a placeholder.
As for other engineer barriers- the biggest problem right now is that hedgehogs are the only engineer-constructions that can’t be destroyed by det packs.
Imo if anything should be immune to det packs, it should just be barbed wire.
det packs in this game behave like aircraft bombs that can be thrown by soldiers. In real life they were used to destroy walls, damage cannons and destroy tank tracks.
In this game they don’t destroy tank tracks, they destroy whole tanks. I think we need AT grenades in this game to replace TNT packs. And we need limited numbers because lately, every soldier is armed with at least one TNT pack which makes tank gameplay on these small maps frustrating
Actually tanks sometimes ruin whole battles especially BT-7’s with their HE shells and running around the map. But thats not a big problem always, dont know if someone already said this, but maybe we could throw grenades into them or put those grenade packs like russians were making on the top of the engine of tank to immobilize it? And after its immobilized use AT cannons or other things.
