Observation post
« on: August 31, 2009, 08:16:17 PM »
Maybe my question is ridiculous but :
Outpost = Observation post ?

In fact, if we play russians, british and american, it's bad if only one person can build observation post on ressources point.

It's the same thing for Ostheer.

The two new factions must build it.

Thx and good job

Ya, The observation post really help with building up Resources.

Outpost = Buildable Garrison which can reinforce squads.

We have several unique ideas in the works for Soviet resource capturing, so we will see.

OK.

So, i think we need observation post.

It's not necessary to create a specific ability about ressource capturing. Keep it for british and PE.

I think your russian army have already lot of interresting and unique traits. Too much specificities kill specificities !

Well, by resource capturing, I meant securing territories too.

Maybe Ostseer observation posts could be able to be garrisoned, like a real observation post, or come with 1 or 2 men linked to it to defend it.

Mm hmm I had an idea for observation posts like that in my Ostheer Army thread, something very similar is also in Kingtigers thread.

Cheers

perhaps observation posts for ostheer could be able to be upgraded with machine gun who would fire short bursts with some 3 seconds interval so it wouldn't be as effective as MG team or  MG nest but could defend their selves or at least suppress enemy while u send your troops to fight off the attackers. or this could be added to some doctrine or... i dont know what do u guys think of this?

The machine gun or defendable post idea would definetly help against Conscript spam, where they send out conscripts in all directions to just capture spots, some kind of active defence, maybe an observation post costing more manpower to build, but no population, with a Hetzer type MG on it.
