We have a free building system in the game where we are able to build up checkpoints and place some assets and compositions down. I was thinking why not add more assets? The options we have right now are relatively limited anyways.
I have been asking for this a while a now through the feed back option from the menu in the game already.
I think we need to be able to place more objects into the game, and with the final strike update introducing mortars in reforger we need a place to put them in, Maybe something like a mortar pit that is dug down a little bit beneath the top layer of the map?
Amongst that, I say more importantly we need plain old trenches!
Think of all the ways a trench / trenches, can improve the somewhat stagnant; repetitive gameplay of your average conflict match.
I’ll give some examples…
•Adding cover to open areas
•Higher chance of survivability
•Greater defensive success with or without trench having ability to add machine gun turrets from it
• Discreetness
•Pure awesomeness
Defending in my opinion is almost non existent when a large hostile force comes to steam role you and your 4 man squad at Simons wood where you have next to no cover most times except for the little plot of trees behind you or the house to the north of the point.
This can be a common issue with other objectives as well.
With the trench system you can strategically place defensive trenches either close to your base or a few hounded meters away and open fire from that position at the dirty dogs trying to over take your point you just fully supplied.
(This would be a bonus if you could add spawns points only on trench’s within range of base.)
Lets talk about the potential accessories you could pimp your trench out with.
•Overhead camouflage netting for when the helicopters FINALLY arrive LOL
•Machine gun post
•Sand bags
•Barbed wire
•Munitions boxes for regular small arms ammunition, explosives and even light artillery rounds for the mortar.
•Lanterns
•Radios
How you would build the trench is simple.
the mechanic is in the game currently when using the supply truck. All you need to do is drive to where ever you want to set up and start building once of course you have acquired the supplies needed.
the basic trench is cheap enough but will still leave a dent from your 1000 supplies.
The basic trench would consist of a wood reinforced pit with no added accessories.
300 Supplies.
Added over head netting would cost 400.
want a turreted machine gun in there? 650
what about the machine gun, netting, sand bags barbed wire and munitions box with spawn point? 1000
some might say that cost too much, I think it does to an extent , but it will keep people from building them literally every where.
One idea I had with this free build trench system was when building; you get to choose the length and depth of your choice within certain limitations. Obviously you can’t make a 20ft deep trench.
As you expand the trench length wise it will of course cost more supplies.
Anyways this was my idea. I really hope the arma devs would implement this one day. I hope you guys share my interest and would raise attention to this much needed feature! Arma 4 will need this.
does anyone know if the devs even read these or anyone whose involved with arma reforger?
please please please spread the idea around and make this stick out like a sore thumb 👍🏻
