Hesco Barrier

~~ghOst819~~ · 02-20-2009, 09:38 PM

I think this would be a pretty cool idea if we had hesco barriers in game.They could help with blocking rocket or small arms attacks or a fb that is exposed rather than having tank traps around it.

ETA: Oh, you want them to be a commander asset?

i know this is going to sound wierd and wrong because the fact that most things that come off a firebase would take a long while to make from the ground but im pretty sure those hesco blocks/barriers need heavy lifting equipment to put in place and transport from place to place. I just dont think it would be feasable or 'realistic' to have them.

Before anyone says anything i know that the other things arnt that realistic but they are more likely to be put up in a quick time than the hesco barriers.

I would how ever like a more protecte base and something that could protect the FB a little bit more than what it is thought maybe something not as big as the hesco barriers.

Don't those things take bulldozers to build ?

More "defensives" and built before the place turns into a battlefield. So, having them placed by the mapper makes more sense.

Well since we dont have a construction company maybe they could just take longer to build(Longer shovel time).Almost all fob's have hesco barriers,so why cant we have them?

yes FOB do have them and i think that is what most of the mains are meant to represent in a way, Kashan desert doesnt really count and niether does al basrah but the others are pretty close to FOBs. In the sense of what they are.

You cant fill them by hand, unless you want to spend an entire round to get 10'
