Fortifications Doctrine

Hold back the enemy at all costs with heavy defensive structures. Infantry can construct advanced defensive buildings. Heavy weapons such as the Pak43 and leFH 18 can be combined with zeroing artillery to zone out and eradicate breakthroughs.

• 
  Heavy Fortifications

  Sturmpioneers can construct Tank Traps, S-Mine Fields, Flak Emplacements, and Trenches. Volksgrenadiers can construct bunkers and barbed wire.

• 
  Pak 43 Emplacement

  Pioneers and Sturmpioneers are able to construct powerful Pak 43 88mm anti-tank emplacements.

• 
  Zeroing Artillery

  Automatically attacks visible enemy units in the target area. Artillery rate of fire ramps up the longer the target is visible.

• 
  leFH 18 Artillery

  This light 10.5cm Field Howitzer doesn't have the destructive power of some Soviet artillery, but it counters with a good rate of fire and reasonably long range.

• 
  For The Fatherland!

  Infantry in friendly territory will recieve a defensive bonus for the duration of the ability.
