[2019] BFV Discussion: Fortifications and ideas to make them used more.

I'm not sure what everyone else's experience is, but i rarely see fortifications get used. There are common areas where people use fortifications, but there are far more areas where fortifications rarely get built.

So here's my question: how do we fix this, and how do we make fortifications get built more? Here's my thoughts on the subject: Personally I believe simply speeding up fortification building for all classes is the the best solution. For example: there's a massive trench you can build at the church on Panzerstorm. With the current building speed, you're going to be spending around 5 minutes (slightly less with the Support class of course) building the whole thing. That means you're practically spending 1/6 of a 30 minute match building one single trench, that's insane. It's around the same for more most other large and complicated fortifications too. Not only does it take a long time, but you get almost no reward for your efforts too. Honestly, I'm fine with the lack of reward, the issue is how incredibly long fortifications take to build currently. I personally believe no large fortification system (like the trenches, or just objectives in general) should take over 2 minutes to build with any class.

Implementing a faster build time would make fortifications much more common, and I honestly think the game would improve because of it.
