Emplacements > Ground Sensor

Pre-req: Combat Engineer, requires CE vehicle

Description: This emplacement is a completely encircled chest-high berm of dirt with a row of tech-boxes for sandbags. Two entrances are cut in opposite sides for entry. To the back of one end rises a bulky sensor tower. A storage box is avaiable for equipment storage.

Operation: When created, the monitoring post provides vehicle detection capability to anyone's Continent Map. Should a vehicle larger in mass than a Lightning appear in it's detection radius, a warning will flash on the map of "Mechanized Unit Detected." This emplacement is useful for commanders to watch their flanks against armored incursions. The berms also provide limited infantry cover in the event of attack.

Descriptions and dozens of conceptual sketches can now be found on the Idealab Forums.
