Towable AA gun

Make the 72K AA gun towable by the Gaz AAA APC. The creator of the AA gun can have a toggle “allow towing”, turn that on, and when a Gaz AAA APC back it rear up to the AA gun at a certain point it’ll get a toggle that lets them tow the AA gun.

This would be a cool little feature
Wow! Sd.Kfz.173 making a Soviet suggestion!?! Everyone take a picture!

This would be a good feature for a lot of engi weapons

most AT guns have wheels so they could also do that with those.

This would be really cool perhaps the APCS could have an option to spawn with towed AT gun since they have no engineer to build one.

Having them be spawned in like this or something similar would also help fix people placing AT guns inside high up buildings (Tractor Plant)

This should definitely be a thing theirs other things that could be towed also. Pak cannons ect. I agree with this idea. :100:

APCs are used for spawning troops—which means they need to be hidden & silent. If you start towing guns that are to be fired (which makes a lot of noise), then all you’re going to do is draw enemy attention to the APC—which is going to get it blown up. So, unfortunately, APCs shouldn’t be used for this purpose.

The gun isn’t able to fire on the go so it shouldn’t give it’s position away then, but I do think APCS, trucks and jeeps (that have tow hooks) should be able to tow AT guns at the bare minimum, I don’t mind if the APC can’t spawn with it.

Do you really think that the Enlisted player base is going to take the time to move a towable gun far enough away from the APC so it doesn’t get discovered? I constantly see players in the game spawning APCs and blowing the horn on the vehicle all the way from the spawn point to the place it eventually gets parked—which, again, alerts the enemy to its exact location. Sorry, this player base just doesn’t get it.

Not every feature has to be “meta” just because towing an AT gun isn’t viable it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be an appreciated detail. If your approach to adding features to Enlisted is “will it be a meta” then you’re limiting the amount of enjoyment you can get from playing the game. Because once you stop caring about being hyper competitive then you can relax a little and have way more fun.

Damn. I read it as throwable at first.

I didn’t say that I didn’t like the idea—I actually think it’s a good idea (which is why I liked the OP); however, I don’t think that APCs should be used to tow guns (for the reasons I gave, above). I don’t have any problem with other vehicles being used to tow guns. In fact, it would be nice if the devs would give us some squads that we could spawn vehicles with—like jeeps—rather than having them randomly placed on the maps.

Furthermore, I’m not implying that anything mentioned here has to be “meta” before it’s implemented; however, it just doesn’t make any sense to have an APC tow a gun in this game. It defeats the purpose of the APC.

BTW, FYI I hate the term “meta.” Nobody ever used this word until Facebook changed their name; now it’s the most overused word on the planet. So annoying!

Fair enough, but even if it makes no sense to tow a AT gun with a APC I think the option should always be open to players since most APCs had the capability to do it in real life

Sorry, but I disagree. Too many players in this game are just plain brain dead. Let me give an example that I’m sure you can relate to: The whole concept of this game is to get inside a circle in order to cap a point. Most players never do this. It’s a pretty simple concept, but seems to fly over the heads of the majority of the player base. Therefore, do you really think they can understand how to properly use a towable gun on an APC? I don’t think so, especially when they don’t understand that you give up your APCs position to the enemy every time you blow the horn—as I mentioned above.

Another solution would be to allow motorcycle squads to tow a gun. Motorcycle squads are semi useless in their current state; however, if you allow them to tow guns (as an option, not a requirement), it would breathe new life into this squad.

Another option would be for the devs to create a new squad that would allow us to spawn in with jeeps that could tow guns.

another feature I had to cut from my APC suggestion because I knew full well that its out of the question with current resource the game development has.
Bet modders could do it though.

I would honestly like the option to tow AT and AA guns on APCs and trucks.

Throwable AT guns would totally fix balancing.

That’d be really cool then I could play Enlisted like snowrunner.
