![]() Watch out for Satchel Charges! A Charge to a bunker will almost certainly kill anything inside and deal massive damage to the building itself.When building a complex of all 3 bunkers, resist the urge to stick them all directly together- spread them out both to help unit navigation and make sure Artillery can't ruin the whole thing with one barrage.Machine Guns can set up in a bunker that already has an MG inside, either to cover the flanks or simply further shred any Infantry attacking head-on.Keep the Munitions cost for the upgrades in mind when constructing a Bunker- the less time spend waiting for an upgrade the more time it can be recovering troops or firing the MG.Keeping one or multiple of these weapons garrisoned inside an MG bunker can make a formidable obstacle for Allied commanders. Unlike in real life, Panzerschreks as well as captured Bazookas or PIATS can be fired from within a Bunker.In more general use, they will also take the duty of repairs from the Pioneer Squad, allowing them to focus on maintaining and repairing other structures or vehicles. ![]() A Repair Pioneer showing up to a battle can easily save a tank that would have otherwise been scrapped, without risking a Pioneer Squad to do the job itself. They also take up no population cap- ultimately making them expendable. The Repair Pioneers can be killed enemy forces, though they respawn over time. Unlike the Medic Bunker or MG42, this particular building has no Allied equivalent. These units repair at the same rate as standard Pioneers, and operate beyond your control. This upgrade converts the Bunker into a Repair Station, spawning a pair of Repair Pioneers who automatically repair any vehicles within its radius. Units will not automatically attack Medics, but they can be ordered to. In addition, early investment in this building will let you use these squads before even reaching tier 2- which is good for commanders making early investment in Veterancy. This is particularly useful for Wehrmacht commanders who have for some reason opted to skip building the Krieg Barracks, as this is the only way to get a Grenadier Squad without. After 4 are collected, a new Grenadier Squad is formed for free- assuming that the casualties are from squads getting reinforced rather than wiped, this is very efficient recycling, with a Grenadier squad formed from this method being decidedly cheaper than creating them from scratch. The Medics will roam within 150 units of the Bunker, collecting the wounded (but not dead) Wehrmacht troops. With this upgrade, the Bunker will be equipped with a pair of medics who will recover Infantry casualties, in similar fashion to the Medic Station or Casualty Clearing Station for the Allied forces. It's even decent against light vehicles- however, the weapon is absolutely useless against a target with even light armor, so keep this in mind when preparing a defense. The MG42 is one of the very best Anti-Infantry weapons in the game- it's highly suppressing, does a respectable amount of damage with decent accuracy, and does not frequently have to stop firing. The MG operates essentially identically to the weapon used by its Infantry-based counterpart, though trading the ability to re-deploy for being tied to the bunker- the gunner inside has no health of his own and simply lives and dies with the structure. The most common Bunker upgrade adds an MG42, facing the way the Bunker was when constructed. Additionally, any bunker on the map is able to reinforce friendly units if the appropriate upgrade in the Defensive Doctrine is chosen. At base, it is also able to produce the Goliath, a large, mobile explosive capable of dealing heavy damage to any enemy unit or building it detonates near- including your own or allied units.Įven after upgrading to a specialty, the Bunker can still be garrisoned to the same effect as beforehand- your units will take no issue with firing out of a medical bunker if you so choose. When constructed by Pioneers, a process which takes 30 seconds, the Bunker instantly becomes a Wehrmacht-controlled building (unlike neutral Trenches or the map-based version,), and is able to upgrade in several different ways. ![]() Allied troops may never enter a Pioneer-constructed bunker, even if it's empty. As such, the building is essentially the Wehrmacht version of the Allied MG emplacements- though unlike their counterpart they're immune to small arms fire- the units inside are not but are very protected nonetheless. It has 4 openings for firing out of in all cardinal directions relative to its facing, and any Infantry unit except a Mortar Squad can fire out of it- including Machine Guns, which will set themselves up inside just like they would normal buildings. The Bunker is a fortified, garrisonable structure that provides heavy cover to any unit inside. ![]()
