No but artillery officer should be able to use himself as a retreat point.Will add more utility to a dead unit.
Isn't that too good of an advantage for something doctrinal?
Not a terrible idea but the soviets would be left out as the only faction without forward retreat. Forward retreat should really be something all factions or no faction can do as it has a dramatic effect on the outcome of a game on larger maps.
Also, as Nuke said, the upgrade would have to be a lot more expensive for the bunker to provide a forward retreat point. If I recall properly the OKW truck requires 250 MP to upgrade to a forward retreat point. That is the equivalent of 125 muni. Add in the 60 muni upgrade to reinforce at the bunker and you're looking at paying 185 muni to upgrade the command bunker to a forward retreat point. Even diffusing that difference between MP and muni it is going to be one enormously expensive upgrade.
I agree completely with the first bit. It just matters too much on the wrong map. The OKW truck is regular progression, and it also provides heals. It's a fully equipped base for 300 MP (discounting tech costs), when doing the same as Ostheer would take 150 MP and 60 muni x2 = 300 MP and 120 munitions, for the medic bunker and the command bunker.
