Maybe this is getting a bit far-fetched but maybe something to think about here or for a future game:
How about adding a tab to the interface panel for the use of tools that are carried by soldiers? The tools could be as follows:
Light Tools (2 inventory blocks)
Axe -for cutting trees for construction of defences or clearing natural cover that could be used by the enemy. Also used to gather foliage to hide vehicles or camouflage installations e.g. sand bag nests.
Wire cutter - used for constructing/dismantling wire defences.
Spade - for digging foxholes, trenches and filling sandbags.
Heavy Tools (4-6 inventory blocks)
Welding equipment - for constructing/dismantling hedgehog tank obstacles/traps
Metal detector/defusing kit - for detecting and defusing mines/bombs (we already have this I know)
Construction tool kit - for repairing/fortifying buildings ruins and sandbags
Vehicles tool kit - for repairing damaged but repairable vehicles (we have this too, I know, just for completion though)
Basically I am trying to borrow from games like Commandos and CoH while adding to some of their better ideas and bring them to FoW2 (which is a much better and more realistic game - CoH tanks with health bars - pffft!).
