Why are there no maps with more bunkers like those on the beaches made from concrete...Or more covers with "roof" like i saw recently,that will give extra protection from mortars,as we knew many were made/used in WW2. This could be nice feature in the game

There are many such defenses that mappers can place, however it doesn't really make sense for random bunkers in villages on the Eastern Front.

Well, It actually kinda does make sense. The soviets disguised bunkers and other defenses as houses/civilian buildings when constructing the Stalin Line.

I don't think that included remote villages in the heart of the USSR.

Ask yourself, "How does providing heavy cover that prevents all types of incoming fire going to work on a map?" What you will quickly realize is that the cover will dominate early game, or be in a place that doesn't matter. These types of cover are best left to comp stomps.

Well preventing all types of weapons is just overpowered, even in real-life. Flamethrowers and grenades were still very effective against bunkers, their effect being increased because of the enclosed space. Demolition charges and super-heavy artillery was also effective at removing bunkers, though would take a little while to do it. In addition, the hidden bunkers the soviets constructed were cheap and quick and not made to deal with anything but small-arms and light-artillery/cannons.
