Here are some new pics for OH stuff :).


Here is the Tier 3 building for Ostheer, all the incoming tanks come from off-map and the antenna is animated, each time you are building something it rotates and "broadcast" reinforcement requests to the Fatherland ;).




Our Panzerwerfer is finished at last, thanks to Walki for his hard work and to Halftrack/Tankdestroyer for helping us with the treads.




Our Brummbär is now finished, it can have skirts and a commander, but as it is the early production model, it doesn't have MGs. Thanks to Walki for the fixed model.





Ostheer is not going to use trenches, but we decided would be better to feature foxholes ;). They are available for Landsers when you get Improved Fortifications on the Fortress Army Troops Command Tree. Thanks to Walki for the model/animations.

So when troops garrison in these fox holes, will they take any damage ? And what about Allied troops, can they garrison in abandoned fox holes too ?

@Mr.Q
Yes(because we don't want to use the brit trench mechanic, so they get different bonuses), and yes(because like trenches, they belong to the troops garrisoned on them) ;)... IIRC tanks can traverse over foxholes as well.

But how a 7-man conscript squad or a 6-man rifle-strelky squad can garrison in 5 fox holes ?

They can't. Either you use a five man squad or two squads whose total members sum up five. Five conscripts can be garrisoned there.

Maybe we can make it that some of the men are invisibled in the foxholes, like the old Soviet trenches were.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Is it possible that the graphic for foxholes could be modified to appear like a hole in the ground rather than an above ground concrete structure? I think the Kursk map uses some sort of inverted trench detail to do this. I hope that foxholes are not intended to provide cover from indirect fire and provide a moderate reduction in damage from splash damage. I think it only appropriate that foxholes have a size limited to the squad size of the folks digging them.

Hence 5 holes for 5 Landsers. Can the MG team garrison foxholes?

The foxholes don't look bad, just a little... unrefined. And maybe a bit too big for 1-per-man. They look like they should have two soldiers in each.
