I didn't say the big concrete bunkers wouldn't be used, only that they will still obey the laws of sector cutoffs and FHQs, and will not lock down the sector.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

The FHQ will not obey the law of sector cutoff.

When you build the bunker the bunker WILL BE YOUR HQ

You can be cutoff by cutting off around the HQ sector  - meaning cutting around the sector the HQ is placed in.

OFC the sector can't be captured, since it the new HQ sector. But thats just like building a OP or placing a SC in a sector. Then they can be captured either - but it will not generate extra resources.

 I dont see how this, in anyway, will obey the laws?

The british does not obey the laws either. When you place a truck on a high point, it locks the sector. But high points have easy-to-take cutoffs, meaning they can be cutoff from the restt of the map by ONE SINGLE point. It will be the same with this one  :)

Perhaps the Mortar bunker can be a Secondary HQ with its own retreat button. It however cannot be deleted just to make it less abusive.

No.

I'll second the notion to stop this idea. It just sounds too radical.

That idea is not going to be implemented. Our current FHQ plan sticks to what our balancers have wrote here: it'll be under the cuttoff laws, unless the Improved Communications upgrade from the Fortress Army is purchased.

It wasn't stated how it was going to be at all, in fact until some days ago it was going to be a normal ambient building ;).

i was talking about the improved communications upgrade, but are you saying the othseers FHQ will be like a bunker or other buildable structures?

Yes, it probably will be buildable.

This thread has Kinda inspired me... I threw together a little something that I like to call the "Stronghold Bunker", made from existing buildings/items only. The image will be posted here: http://www.easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=7176.msg127536#msg127536

AS for how it would work, I think it would be best to treat it like the Wher/Ami FHQs, with the following exceptions:
> Build limit of 1 (at a time)
> Lock-down the sector (upon building an upgrade for it - radar/com dish on roof or some such), but still obeys sector cut-off effects.
> Limited/specific training - I think this part is already covered, there being only the 'Panzerfusiliers' trainable... I'd like to see other infantry trainable here too (if already unlocked anyway).
