I really like the look of these and it has good functionality

No, it both looks and works better than what we currently have.

The current slit trenches look like a hole dug in the ground and some bushes covering it and they're mostly just used as a cheap tank trap because Osttruppen are better off being in cover than garrisoned, not to mention that they're weak.

These trenches actually could be relevent and see much more use.

How so? They got elite infantry like snipers, guards and shock troops as well.

And it's not like every german soldier is being portrayed as a valiant elite knightcrossholder. They also have Osttruppen and Volksgrenadiers (= juveniles and old men)

As much as Volksgrenadiers are portrayed as such in both games in reality they were wounded veterans and sometimes older soldiers equipped with stuff like the StG 44s to make up for their lack of numbers.

I don't think Germany was as stupid to give probably the best infantry weapons during the war to "juveniles and old men".

I just want to thank Widerstreit again here for making this.

And just to clarify, my suggestion comes from The Great War mod for the original CoH altho the difference there is that trenches are smaller but wider sections and it's basically just one sandbag being mirrored with the use of SCAR but you can make some pretty interesting stuff with it:



With that said, Wider has improved upon the design immensly. For instance, the trenches in the above picture are visible in the Fog of War, his are not because of him using the British slit trench blueprint.

I also asked him to make the remove ability so the user can remove a section of the trench in order for team weapons like Pak 40 AT gun could move through the gap.

I'll end my post with some references of the trench systems extensively used on the Eastern Front by both sides as well:



Above picture shows some German soldiers resting in a trench circa 1941-1943, below picture shows civilians digging trenches on the Kursk line.



So all in all, if these trenches are added it would make complete sense for the Eastern Front Armies to have them while the British and OKW get the slit trenches that Wider made as well which are also a vast improvement over the ones we currently have in-game.

I am thinking of the Modern War / Cold War, which is not bad, but as many have rightly noted: it may not be appropriate on small maps and mechanics of the Company of Heroes: missiles, distance, main battle tanks, aircraft.

Earlier time without missiles and main battle tanks:
- Operation Unthinkable, it guards us with familiar and favorite units and will give those who did not have time to World War II: Centurion, Alecto I, ARL-44, T-44, IS-3, ZSU-37.
- Caribbean crisis: a huge number of tanks, artillery, early helicopters. Without the main battle tanks and missiles, at that time the Second World Small Arms were together with assault rifles.

I also don’t mind staying in the Second World Theme (after all, this is my favorite topic), but I’m against the third time playing the same United States and Britain. COH2 was supposed to be the Eastern Front, but this did not happen. Make work on failures, make a quality Eastern Front story: focus on one event, for example, the battle for Hungary, this will give a new Soviet faction and a new Axis faction: Hungary.

Honestly dude if you want proper Eastern Front go try out the mod for COH, it's basically an unofficial community expansion to the game which would add so much more to the game and rack in money that I'm still wondering why they haven't made it official.

Microsoft also greenlit 2 community expansions for AoE2HD on Steam so I see nothing wrong with it.

You think so? I'm not so sure they want to try their hand at a modern setting and going by the Men of War route.

Altho I do find the Modern Combat mod for CoH enjoyable.
