Kashan - Perimeter towers at the bunkers suggestion

[Ace42]

I've never been a big fan of Kashan, but I finally think it's getting there. The improved infantry vs vehicle balance in the core game mechanics has really helped out this map, and the bunker layout is pretty solid ATM. HOWEVER, I think one small change would be the icing on the cake.

It would be really nice if there was a perimeter tower or two right up against the western wall (one at north, one at south) bunker; the idea is partly because it would look cool and be a sensible addition to the complex - but mainly it's to give specialists something to grapple, and thus a back-door into the compound without them getting torn up on barbed-wire. ATM I already grapple through the barbed wire and get my squad's medic to patch me up, but that's not realistic or particularly 'fun'.

Some towers to hook onto and scale over the wall at would help give the MEC a back-door to the bunkers and prevent some of the really painful walking their infantry squads are often forced to do. IIRC there's an eastern entry to the compound at the middle of the east (US facing) side, so adding some there is not essential; however I think one at each corner of the compound would be sensible and offer players more options for assaulting the bunkers stealthily.

Also, breachable vent-covers for the air-shaft / toilet back-door would be nice too.

Maybe. However I think the idea behind the limited entry points for infantry is to encourage helicopter/APC/Light vehicle transport into the compounds. Kashan is a vehicle map after all.

Well, that'll be great when you can guarantee no-one has to or wants to go infantry... Limited entry points is why I didn't suggest removing barbed wire at a couple of sections - using a grapple hook is conspicuous, requires a specific kit load-out, leaves you a sitting duck while you're doing it, and limits entry to only one more specific entry point. IMO it's more limited than the alternative: "Give us an extra entry point on the west side, plz..."

Sounds fine i guess, would be useful, and since im the only guy that almost always has a Specialist kit that could be quite useful for me
