Default Idea - Mounted MG on deployable sandbags

I searched through this forum for quite some time looking for a similar idea with no success, so please accept my apologies if this is redundant.

The idea: Add a mounted MG to the commander deployed sandbags.

Reason behind: Currently, sandbags are used more for blocking entrances to flag control points than for any real defensive purpose. By adding a mounted MG, the commander is truly fortefying the position and assisting his/her team. I don't see this creating a terrible imbalance and fits nicely in the realism aspect of the mod. It would also change how the sandbags are used by the commander and add an element of strategy/tactics to the role and the asset.

Thanks for reading!

Yeah, but then the number of allowed sandbags in an area would have to be reduced, or you'd had dozen MGs stacked up.

Agreed on that - this would limit the number available. Maybe limit to 2 near a bunker or firebase. Also, the gunner is certainly not invulernable while on the gun.

Perhaps the MG sandbags could be added as a separate menu item on the deployable asset menu, so a commander could place a sandbag or an "armed" sandbag.

Maybe one sandbagged machine gun for every 4 or 5 sandbags in an area?

This idea has been in our sights for a long time, since we first made commander assets.

A mounted GPMG like on vehicles for commander laid sandbags would change the face of gaming totally. It would show the importance of building assets and moving methodically across maps. It would greatly increase gaming where objective missions are involved, and increase realism with insurgents maps.

However, theres that nasty game issue with player line of sight and it being lower than the sprites eyes ingame.
