PS1 vets will know that later in the game a combat engineering deployable was introduced that cloaked those inside, but also provided protection from all kinds of projectile. You can see it in the below video at about 45 seconds: Personally, I think we need something more like this, 20 secs in: The basic idea is a deployable, vehicle transported shield, that covers an area preventing vehicle assault: Behaves similar to vehicle shield Can be deployed wherever the deployment vehicle can reach Shields deployed suitable distances apart would merge to form a continuous shield, allowing it to be used to cover outposts etc. Deployment minimum range restrictions to prevent spamming Shield has X amount of energy, depleted slowly over time, or faster under attack, to prevent "set and forget". Engy can top up energy. Such an item would help players address the ever present "defense" conundrum, allowing players to erect their own defenses as the need requires, from covering outposts and protecting facilities to creating vehicle barracades, chokepoints and infantry safe havens out in the field.
What your suggesting seems a little overpowered, but something like it really needs to be added.... Maybe as a replacement for turret?
turrets just need to be a bit more powerfull lets say 1/10 more of their current power and they need to introduce the anti-tank ones because until then the class is severely nerfed
