    Entrenchment

    Will entrenching be a possibility? Perhaps not in a major form, but at the least piling a few logs, stones - maybe bodies - to make light defenses would be nifty.

    Entrenchments only being knee height or slightly above could balance it out by forcing you to kneel (and thus, slower reloads) to actually get a benefit, and stamina depleting while entrenching would help too.

    Antietam didn't see any real entrenching so I don't think it's necessary, it would be nice to have for a map like Gettysburg.

    That was my main concern. The only major battle I am not knowledgable about is Antietam. However entrenching in skirmishes, where the focus might not be historical accuracy, seems reasonable.

    The more options the better right? Although I'm not sure this'll be a priority.

    Yeah it would be a nice little feature to have later on. For now they need to focus on making the game, the perks will come later I'm sure of it!

    Although entrenching may not have been prominent at Sharpsburg, remember in perspective of the game Sharpsburg hasn't happened yet. I support the ability to form temporary structures or even dig as a form of alternative history. I like the idea.

    A trench out of corpses? Sounds cosy. You will need a lot of Febreeze for that though.

    Eh, it's better than the material idea I had to make trenches with...

    "You ever even play Verdun? And I am not talking about some casual matches where you got mowed down by an MG over and over. I am talking about clans and stuff. B-hopping everywhere, headshotting kids left and right with the Kar98, being the goddamn PISTOL KING! Verdun is far from realistic, and it's historical accuracy is often sacrificed for better gameplay."
