Turn foxholes into... trenches!

[goguapsy]

Better yet, turn them into trenches.



Better cover then the current foxhole... and much more efficient! I don't know if something like this (that DIGS the ground) is hardcoded, but if yes, ok, make higher and bigger foxholes! I mean, we are not using foxholes to sleep in...

but to cover!!

NOW, picture this:

INS: A forward outpost with a trench system all the way to the inside of the city! Al Bashrah for instance! While a squad protects, the builders dig a trench from the north side of the south higway, from the highway all the way to the first compound. Imagine how cool would that be, specially with HMG over the ground overlooking it, specially if some insurgents infiltrate in it! (or as we all know insurgents, they just JUMP inside while trying to dodge the HMG bullets and running to the FOB undercover killing all unsuspecting brits!


AAS: Tell me if that wouldn't be interesting! a bloody TRENCH FIGHT! make a way so FOBs can be built closer or, at least, trenches can be made a VERY LONG DISTANCE (like 400 meters) from the FOB! Imagine that! SO COOL!


SO what do you guys think uh? UH???

foxholes already look borderline stupid when they stick out of the ground.... trenches would cross that line.

thats why they are DIGGED UNDER THE GROUND... didn't you see the pics?
but if it's hardcoded, forget it it only took a lof of... seconds to think this up but who cares...

We have already repeatedly stated for several years that we cannot do terrain remodeling like that in this engine, which is why the foxholes are above the ground in the first place.

Trenches aren't really used in combat. So including them in the game would be unrealistic. the only real defensive you see are bunkers built with HESCOs and sandbags. All a foxhole is, is your sleeping hole dug deeper because you're staying put for a while. So really I think they're a bit unrealistic in game but it would be to difficult to just be able to spawn a proper combat outpost, but I can dream.
