Seeming to run into the issue a lot where a teammate is up against a window and I’m sitting there trying to put down a MG or HMG nest there. They are more than welcome to use it, but they need to move for it to be built. There is no way for me to indicate that is what I am trying to do!
If there was even a command to ask them to move, I’d use it.
If I try to move them with my character, I look like a toxic troll and usually get molotoved or WP for my trouble.
I asked yesterday and the dude moved and took the MG I placed (which I was glad for, since I didn’t want to use it myself as I wanted to ensure that there was AA)
Dude didn’t respond, so I guess he was on consol. But at least he could read English and was considerate enough to move.
We won and that MG made it until just a few minutes before the match ended with a roflstomp victory
The issue is that sometimes that (H)MG nest can be a make or break situation.
That’s the thing though. There needs to be a simple way to indicate that is what you are trying to do, as Console doesn’t have the text options that PC has.
Even on PC it’s a matter of having to essentially put yourself out of play to relay info, which can be a problem when you’re getting shot at. Good thing there’s not a war on or anything!
