Hello

Can the old Razor wire possibly make a come back in beside the current tank trap blockade for conventional forces? Like how sandbags and foxhole currently share the same menu? Unless I'm missing something these were removed in an earlier release.

I'm a great asset placer but the tank trap X blockades are a total pain in some scenarios which I think razor wire would work just fine. i.e. it takes too many place/remove attempts just to block a small hole in a wall for defense against INF, which includes several suicides (from crushing), which I believe the current timer is something like 60 seconds (en-counting each time).

An alternative suggestion is if that timer can be shortened? 60s is a PITA for accidental self-crushes for builders...

On the bright side I've never had problems with insurgent roadblocks on Ramiel - They work a dream! First time every time. Could this be something to do with the the model?

Whadya think forum?

This would be cool, I don't see a usage of sandbags and this could potentially replace that slot.
I don't recall seeing(a distinction from tank traps) the razorwire from back whenever, but then again my memory is fuzzy of early PR days.

The question then is, why would someone use razor wire instead of razor wire and tank traps?
the solution:

Tank traps become only tank traps, while razor wire is only razor wire, i dont like this idea
or
Razor wire gets additional placements than the tank traps,
or(the one I like the most)
Razor wire is super quick to build, which would also be realistic!

The only reason I'm for this, is because placing aforementioned tank traps in precarious places gets you killed.

It's unclear when/why original razor wire was taken out. Perhaps a very good reason.
I was off line for a few years when I came back it was gone.

Please bring this back, make it 2 layers, with the bottom one so low it kinda touches the ground and there is no way to crawl under.

Hooray thread gets some attention.

could as it a sub to actual razor wire It think so (AT Razor Wire) and AP Razor Wire or something

Bympdy bump what do devs think?

I personally like it. I'm sure we could do that the same way as in the alt comma rose commands.

The reason why razorwire was mixed with hedgehogs was to stop vehicles from driving through them and because it looked silly for them to stop vehicles if it was just wire on its own.

In a Vietnam themed map it would fit perfectly.

Honestly, vehicles going through doesnt really change their use. I'd think it would mostly be used where the normal wire is hard to place, and there is no room for a car. And for that it would be great if it didn't crush you.

Wouldnt mind if you could place if when next to an APC or IFV as they are known to carry them around.

That's an nice idea.
Giving vehicles a extra function. Or make it that the razorwire would cost a small ammo drop like from humvees or IFV's without needing a fob close to them.

I mean its the same as it used to be but instead of supply trucks its apc.

Dont complicate it folks, in these trying times, simplicity reigns supreme. Just reintroduce them as they were, but as alt select next to tank traps menu. sorted. Self crush begone.

Hardly complicated considering it would be making similar to how it used to work.

It would be ok if you just make you can choose do you want razorwire with tank blockade on LMB or we want one just with wire on RMB as Insurgenst have.
