OKW fortifications doctrine reinforcement on lefh/pak43

Jump back to quoted post9 Apr 2020, 15:34 PMUnit G17

It always bugged me a bit that unless you place a Pak43 or Lefh18 next to the medic HQ (or an ostheer player helps out with a 251/command bunker) there is no way to reinforce these team weapons. This kinda contradicts OKW's preservative nature and leaves little room to ever getting these team weapons to vet5. Now straight out adding mobile/mini reinforcement points to this doctrine might be OP, but would it be possible to add something that only allows these immobile assets to reinforce (similar to how pathfinder relays allow only paratroopers to reinforce)? Such as a specialised command bunker upgrade, only to reinforce these two.

One could add it to veterancy...

You mean self reinforcement?

yep but I would also include the AA gun in your list.

Does that even get veterancy? Haven't checked yet. But yeah, I find it a bit silly that you can decrew the AA flak emplacement, should be pure health, like the british emplacements.
As for exact veterancy numbers, I would put self reinforcement somewhere at vet 1 or 2, with one of the previous veterancy bonuses removed (vet 4 or 5) and the rest pushed up by one level.

I would just add Command Bunker as an option for upgrade to the Bunkers that Volks can build. Less problematic than a support weapon that can constantly replenish itself if you don't one shot it and requires more planning while simultaneously not encouraging Truck cities.
