Ostheer Update 4: Schutzen War Camp

[Seeme]

Its kinda off topic though.

[IJoe]

No, it's not,- we're discussing, what actually is a part of this particular update. So it's all quite valid here.

quit complaining trenches are fine. The ostheer isn't gonna become a new british faction ffs.

WTF?
I thought, it was, like, a discussion, FFS? 

yep a discussion which value shouldnt be underestimated.

The past and relic have shown, that historical accurancy isnt the keypoint of the game. Actually its the basic idea of which a game like that is buildup. No less and no more. The best game is still the one which is liked by the most people.

Sorry If I haven't made much of a point but I dont feel that trenches are gonna make the ostheer anything nearly as defensive as brits. Soviets have trenches (as a doctrine choice) but that hardly makes them anything nearly as defensive as British. I therefore think that people should not take such a harsh stance towards trenches.

[Desert_Fox]

I think also Soviets has trenches because they're infantries (except Guards) aren't good like other faction's troops.

It's a way to have a balanced game.

Besides, their trenches are doctrinal, and they don't have any anti-trench tools right away as well.
Back to the topic: I think that some trenches are more than appropriate and would really suit the Ostheer. But these just have to be unique ones. Un-occupiable and passable by infantry and vehicles buildable heavy cover lines would be somewhat new, interesting, historically accurate, providing the necessary game dinamics, hell,- these would be flawless!

+1.
This is right what i think as well.

Vehicles driving over cover without crushing it? I'm not sure that could be implemented...

Believe me, it can.

[pariah]

Well it's just that the current map trenches can't be driven over by vehicles, so i just assumed...

It's also annoying that infantry can't climb over walls, so if you guys could implement that as well, that would be fucking sweet!

I'm not sure what you mean, but I know that tanks are able to drive over trenches (granted, these need to be empty)

The devs have stated that they are not making core gameplay changes, just balance changes. Infantry 'jumping' over walls is one of them.

Molotovs do come quicker then then OH trenches.

Comparing molotovs, which are actually an upgrade to a flamethrower which is not, taken as trench-clearing tools, is by all means inadequate in every aspect there is.

PE uses their incendiary nades for Trench Clearing. So it's pretty similar.
