Would be nice if you could get the Flak to fire... I know it is possible to put guns on buildings because the Wehrmacht Defensive Doctrine allows you to have MG's put up on buildings.

It would be pretty badass if you got the spotlights to 'search' in the sky when it gets dark.

Ostheer already have flak emplacements as base defense... I don't think they need flaks on top of their tier buildings :P.

My only suggestion then would be to remove those Flak batteries around the base and have the current ones as a sort of 'permanent base defense' (as long as the building stands, the Flak stands, but it has inaccuracy shooting infantry or something to balance it out).

It's up to you guys entirely though.

We are probably going to include a temporary fortress doc ability for that.

The texture looks really impressive, but I think it needs some more details. Let's say some sandbags around it, Ostheer flag, oil drums, ammo/supply crates perhaps a camo netting for the flak on the top. Looking forward to the Ostheer! Cheers!

How about an upgrade similar to "Fortify the perimeter" that made it start working?

You already have flaks as a base defense. Why do you need more?

You can never have to much flak.

Mainly it has something to do with the balance. Having a 360° Baseflaks is already a huge advantage.

Make the flak 38 a building upgrade in the production menu like the fuel depot uprgrade or like the mg for the bunker or something else, otherwise take it off

@AwayPeskyFlies
I don't think the flak 38 is going anywhere even if it doesn't have crew ^^. As stated it is there as eye candy, not to be used, just like the Halftrack.

I know, it is pretty cute how you are arguing about making it useable, when some of the devs have stated it "might" be used for a fortress doctrine ability.

I think you could make that building so you can garrison it and then the flak could fire?

We could but we won't :p. Simply because we don't want a new defensive faction. The flak will remain decoration.

Description

We are close to release the second sneaky peaky video but we have decided to post some screenshots of some of the units of the Schutzen War Camp meanwhile. Hope you enjoy it!

This is the Schutzen War Camp, second building available for Ostheer. Model by Relic, modified and animated by Walki, the flak 38 at the top is only for eye candy just like the halftrack ausf. B.
