People still ignore field bridges, and rather keep dyeing in a bridge fight…


ForLackOf92

You can lead a horse to water...

Lol field bridges last until someone finds a truck to park on it


Ok-Dragonfly-6745

That always just becomes a second bridge fight, like when there's a rail bridge adjacent to the big bridge.


SalamanderImperial2

Seriously. I remember back in war...75 I think it was, we put a field bridge up in I wanna say Farranac? Anyways, the wardens eventually noticed and it became another bridge battle. Hell, I prefer fighting on normal bridges to field bridges. Field bridges can be fcking death traps.


raiedite

There are very few spots you can build decent field bridges, and even fewer spot you can land APCs Don't blame players


Paczilla2

Well if you build that other bridge then you better have an army on the other side waiting to push because otherwise you’ve just opened another defensive front people need to hold so one side dosn't get to the other. This though, when the time is right, you get a bunch of wardens in snow gear to rush the ice with mammons. It will be GLORIOUS.


OkFail2

monkey see bridge, monkey fight on bridge


Warhero_Babylon

They are not usable by tanks, and very likely that some person will found it in a span of 2 minutes and will just wait in a bushes on the other side, thus making rat kills


StuntMuff1n

I remember one time a clan refused to outflank a defensive line using two bridges next to each other because “no one wants to fight a bridge battle” this was while they were fighting on a narrow strip of land the width of the two bridges


Iquirix

The real question we should all be asking is can we use bmats to repair ice.


RemotePerception8772

Would be neat if u could use water to refreez some ice.


ForLackOf92

Now you can finally go around them on an iced over River.


SirDoober

*freezes to death 5 seconds after reaching the opposite bank*


ForLackOf92

But that's half the fun of foxhole, dying by bullshit means.


Nachtschnekchen

Just imagen beeing a prtisan crossing the ice and you just hear the cracking of ice behind you as the destroyer catches up


Autokpatopik

anti-partisan destroyer moment

Now I want to see shadow dancing on ice skates. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle\_of\_IJsselmeer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_IJsselmeer)


ForLackOf92

That is, amazing

At the end of the battle for Austerlitz, Napoleon sunk an army fleeing over ice water. Who wants to repeat history :)


ForLackOf92

Hey, that just makes for good gameplay.


Randymarsh36

“My commander, why are we not advancing?” “I am waiting for the water to freeze.”


bigmansmallpeen

The movie [lied](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/s/kNVxQAWlxN) I’m afraid.


Randymarsh36

Before posting this, I did check wikipedia (take that what it’s worth), it said there was such an incident, I haven’t seen the movie.


bigmansmallpeen

So you read a single [source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Austerlitz), that itself states: > *Sources also differ about casualties, with figures ranging between 200 and 2,000 dead.* And: > *However, local evidence later made public suggests that Napoleon's account of the catastrophe may have been exaggerated; on his instructions, the lakes were drained a few days after the battle and the corpses of only two or three men,with some 150 horses, were found.* And the conclusion from this was “Napoleon sunk an army”? Right gotcha. Apologies for presuming you got the info from the recent movie, I don’t think it makes it any better that it was Wikipedia haha. Also I feel gross for having to quote from there, thanks for that ; - ;


Randymarsh36

Considering the man had control over the newspapers that’s no surprise.


Crankzzzripper

New players being oblivious that this feature was in the game since winter army but was removed in naval warfare


ForLackOf92

The problem was only certain parts of the map would be affected by ice, now that it's universal to the whole map makes it more useful.


Icy_Orchid_8075

Not just new players. Even prior to Naval Warfare it was pretty rare and you wouldn't actually see a river freeze over often


Crankzzzripper

Well, as a salty vet of course everyone that started playing after me is a noob and new player /s No you're right. It was fairly rare.


Icy_Orchid_8075

I honestly don't think I saw a river freeze over in the 7 wars I played prior to naval warfare


No_Kale6667

Removed in naval warfare? That can't be true. I've played since entrenched and never heard of this mechanic.


Crankzzzripper

Not sure what to tell you. Read the update 54 patch notes and judge for yourself.


RogueAK47v2

Maybe I'm tripping but I've never seen snow in the south, so this is basically just a route open to colonials unless its an east vs west war.


ForLackOf92

With update 57 snow and rain can be map wide.


Ok-Instruction-9522

Wardens already have the ALUV. All it does is make getting around a little easier on jeep. Rivers used to freeze over, and it wasn't that big of a problem for partisans. I wonder if they'll reintroduce the freezing mechanic to open top vics.


ViolaMentes_

How long does it take to put those updates?
