Is this a bug/mistake?

I'm still having trouble with regular engineers being able to construct a foot bridge within a six minute time frame. :eek1:

An engineer with a chainsaw can accomplish this in less than six minutes.

...an assault bridge designed to pass troops quickly over creeks and streams. The 'book' said well trained troops should be able to erect it at the rate of 40 linear feet per minute....

Come on! Let's all use some common sense here? :chin:

You can't offload bridging equipment from a truck... trundle it down to the stream / creek... offload the bridging planks (here I'm assuming the engineers already have material for spans)... sling it across a 40 foot water expanse... bolt it down... so soldiers can march smartly across the just erected span... in 6 minutes? :eek1:

Now... if you are assuming... based on your "chainsaw" remark... that the engineers have to FIRST cut down trees... than proceed with all of the other prep work... you are going to have a bunch of engineers missing fingers... and we have completely crossed over into the"Twilight Zone." :eek1:

You know... after folks point out mistakes... or gaming features that don't make sense or are completely illogical... it's OK to state... "You know, you guys raise a good point here. We (Matrix Team) screwed up on that feature, but we'll address it in the next patch update."

For me, I respect an individual or team more... when that person or group admits they are wrong after errors are highlighted... instead of "I'm going to defend my action no matter what." Defending a coding error or illogical gaming feature does not make it right? :chin:

Nobody is perfect.. least of all me. Nobody is claiming that. But, it would be nice if folks would sometimes remove their fingers from their ears... really LISTEN (READ) what players are stating about CS... engage in open, honest dialogues between developers and players... and than come together and do what is best to improve CS as a game system... while keeping all egos in check? :chin:
