Am not exactly sure what you're trying to say, a 'scout tower' deployable like a HMG or foxhole?

rampo, true, any Scout tower would be instantly shot at and destroyed if spotted but that pic is totally unecessay and not funny in the slightest. :neutral:

Well, if you're like any other norweegun that I've met, you're also a fruit.

Seriously though Guacy_Doidão, think about what it would really be like with buildable towers in game...

This has been suggested twice before, but I think that it's not worth it much A) for realism, it would take a while to build a watch tower B) May as well have a pink flashy neon sign above your head saying 'Hi thar guys, shoost here' C) Where most Firebases are deployed, it's not really gonna have a watch tower, watch towers are generally only in big bases, not in the field.

But if itll get attacked that means the enemy have to give away theyr position :grin:

And yeah been suggested before, my idea was to have a sandbag watchtower :neutral:

the idea aint that bad
i like it
set up a fortified watchtower on high ground somewhere around a firebase
- it has cover provided by sandbags like the deployable hmg/foxhole
- with embrasures so the guys manning it have cover from nme fire still being able to shoot back
- nice high ground position to defend the firebase / prevent it from being stabbed
- sniper/marksman can be very effective covering a huge area/valley from high ground
could be really nice on archer/korengal/asad i could imagine

+1

could you make it so its only avalivle so far distance from a flag, not a firebase, like on qwie river, you could set it in governmetn office (i think its called) withing like 100-200 meters from the center flag.
that way you could set up a small defence, or a sqouting spot.

I like it....but I have to agree with the others. It's like putting a big "SHOT ME" sign up.
