blow torch for engie's?

Danthesandman · Post by **Danthesandman** » 2007-08-13 14:03

Had a search and couldnt find anything but i bet some1 will go through all the threads with a fine tooth comb just to prove me wrong.

I know, I know. more important things are in the works or "why dont u go do it?" just let me have my opinion. the wrench just doesnt seem right. I hate going up 2 a black bent command post and using a magic bolt on the side to turn everything pretty. im not saying chuck it all together but what if the crewman still has it cos itl only be for his own vehicle. its pointless on other things and doesnt even work on some.

so here it is. what if the engineer got himself a blow torch... he wouldnt have much of an animation and the sparc effect is already there when a vehicles bout to blow. maybe they get a welders mask that blocks all vision while working so it makes people think bout fixing in a firefight. maybe even if some1 walked up 2 them without a mask they get the flashbang blur.

three welders hanging around a command post or tank with sparks flying. ur talkn 2 them and walk up closer but then he starts up and u need 2 turn roundcos uv been blinded. then u see enemy coming... lucky the welders burn the enemy..... now that would be a humiliation kill. BUURRRNN!!

I don't think it's necesary.

not a bad idea but like you said, we're working on much more important stuff.

Knew a guy who tried that once.

I guess he's not mauch of a smoker anymore.

But anyways: Your suggestion is quite nice, and not unrealistic. The thing about the mask and the flashbang effect would be a nice cookie. But as you said yourself, this would be low on the priority list.
But i can imagine something like this a good addition in rounding up the mod when we will finally be closing in on 1.0

Maybe beef up the Land Rover, with some armour and a compressed gas nail cannon?

Well, aprt from fixing things (we already have a wrench) or burning people what other use would it do?

Merge armored vehicles into a super tank?

What? You'd have the ability to fry the enemy and you are actually asking for more?!

When we hand it over to MacGyver he's surely build some kind of Cruise-Missile out of it, that should satisfy all of our sick violence-fantasies

Another suggestion in relation to bridge repair is this. Instead of needing a single engineer to magically repair a bridge, a commander truck needs be within a certain radius. This simulates the building materials being taken from a source. The bridge, instead of being fully repaired with new concrete etc, will be spanned by an section of bridge building kit. These kits are used by forces such as US army engineers and the Dutch water engineers to make temporary bridges.

Good Idea. Why don't we have it so the bridges come out of our asses... Not

We already have a plan relating to this, just not the highest priority item on our plates.

Can you tell me what are those high priority things your working at? Mortars?

NICE!

Dam right Hardtman. If Vanilla gave the shock paddles a weapon capability then why not a blow torch.

Sweet. hope u guys get around to it 1 day. ow and maybe it could be an spot welder. no flame, just a bright light and lots of sparks.

Yeah I started a thread on the bridges thing a bit ago and they sounded like they had some pretty big ideas for it.

That would be an arc welder.
