Best thing to do, ask for a suply, shoot 1 heavy at to explode it, wait for the enemy to rebuild, repeat till you are tired.

The HAT has a pretty major splash on it; as soon as the structure goes up, you know there are enemies near it. One rocket and you got 2-3 more kills.

A bunker on mosque makes sense, since mosques are known for being bunkers in many battles. It might look weird because in real life soldiers turn houses and other buildings into the bunker/FOB. Keeps them from building anything only fortifing the building they are in. But since we can't convert a building into a FOB/Bunker, then placing one next to or on is the way to make it an allied stronghold.


Saying that, will it ever be possible to make destroyable buildings fortifiable as well?

Is it just me or does the existence of barbed wire and MG placements just scream, "over here, look for enemy fire base/bunker". It seems that as soon as the base is located it is only a matter of minutes for that bunker to be eliminated. People don't defend (that i have seen) and MG's seem to be death pits (limited range of motion, tracers/sound pinpoints location and if enemy has scoped weapon - forget it).

I'm for "stealthy" placement of bases. Let the enemy hunt for it based on the amount of resistance felt by being in proximity. I say let the bunkers be "inside" building in many cases. Inside the Mosque, for example and it wouldn't be the first time a mosque was used for such (would it?)
