Im sure you guys have probaly looked at this before, and here i am again giving my input

=============================

Infantry Foot Bridge

Two Infantry Foot Bridge bridges will allow a company of soldiers to cross an obstacle in under five minutes. Used by the Assault Pioneer platoons of air-mobile and air-portable infantry units, this is a versatile and lightweight aluminium bridging system that can be carried on a four tonne truck. The bridge can be assembled quickly and quietly, and can take three fully equipped infantrymen at a time..

One Bridging Set comprises 8 bridge modules, each of 4.43 metres in length;
Spans dry gap 16 metres, wet gap 30 metres. A bridging set is carried by a single 4 or 8 ton truck.

I think the best way to use this would be to make it a static object and use it on some maps maybe

=============================

Armoured Vehicle Launcher Bridge (AVLB)

The AVLB launches a single Close Support Bridge to cross gaps of up to 24.5m or a combination of such bridges to cross gaps of up to 60m. A single bridge can be laid in about 3 minutes without exposing the crew. Once the bridge has been laid the launch vehicle can drive over it and recover it from the far bank.

• Weight 53,300 kg;
• Length 13.74m;
• Height 3.92m;
• Width 4.16m;
• Max Speed 42 kph;
• Crew 3;
• Armament 2 x 7.62mm machine guns.
• Engine diesel.

Now this could be a very strategic tool of PRMM if used/made right. Used on a map with lots of rivers, and very few bridges or on a map with lots of crators or somthing this could enable a engineering team to set this bridge down somwhere on the river where the other team may or may not exspect it and then they could outflank the enemy from a totaly diffrent direction

Im sure this tool would be used by clans and the like effectivly but if it was used much in a public game i do not know

=============================

Shielder

Engineers have to clear obstacles - and create them too. The British Army Shielder Syatem gives commanders the facility to create anti-tank barriers quickly and effectively. The system consists of modular dispensers which can be fired to either side or to the rear, mounted on a flat bed version of the Stormer Armoured Personnel Carrier. The anti-tank mines have a prgrammable life, at the end of which they self-destruct. The British Army does not use anti-personnel mines.

This sounds like a tank that runs arround a larghe arear of a filed dropping mines, which sounds very cool. Thou you cant tell how manny TKs the guy that dose this may get

=============================

These things should maby ony be used by the engineers class to but that would be up for you guys to decied. Once again what you think

We're not Dutch, we don't call the Army the "Royal Army". It's the British Army! I've come accross many American's who've called it this (easy to get confused I guess, with the Royal Navy and Royal Airforce and all) but never a Brit!

Anyway, unless EA/DICE make an AI tool for us (ha, there's a joke) I'm not sure if these would be all that useful. They'd be good in SP missions but as far as MP goes I'm not so sure. Coop would be a nice place for them, but then again you'll need the AI tool for that to change the way all computer controled assets are used. It'd be too slow and need a lot of map space to make it worth while in human vs human situations and you'd need a large team. Good idea's though! I guess it's down to the devs to use them or not.

I have allways personly called it the royal army, but if it cuts down on confustion then ye.

SP mission, na i dont think that would be a good idea really, just aim for mutliplayer modes.

But yes for a huge map, with a big river or 2, with few crossing this could come in very usful

You want bridging vehicles in BF2? Given the current map sizes and the amounts of players being capped at 64 i really dont see this as being relevant.

Loving the bridging kit, both the pers and tank. I DO see the possible lack of relevance, but just because its there doesn't mean it HAS to be used...

IMO it'd be a good squad attacking tool.

And I love the idea of the mines vehicle, but ONLY, IMO for AP mines. And to adhere to balance, the engi needs to be able to clear a "path" (wide enough for inf only) to be able to get through. Obviously, he would need his squad around him to protect him when he's de-mining..... a la real life.

It doesn't hold relevence at the mo, because no maps have been made with it in mind...

...however, a custom map with an uncrossable chasm would surely add relevence...

Aye, possiby.

I was thinking also of the Tank map we were playing about on yesterday....

Has a valley and an oft mined bridge, which, at one pont, was jammed with broken armour!! Imagine laying that thing down alongside (ish) the bridge....

There are plenty of places for tanks to cross on the map, have a little look arround there is like 3 fords and 2 bridges

Yea, but not everywhere in the world has a ford across a river a few hudred feet away from a destroyed bridge.

Got that, mate, but it was just ONE example. Besides, there's the spawn points on either side of the bridge....
