Anyone think disconnected firing trenches is too strong?

Communication trenches seem to do more harm than good. While you can get troops to places with some protection from artillery, the AI can use those same communication trenches to freely move around your network of trenches when they reach your trenches in melee.

So its much better to have a patchwork of disconnected firing trenches scattered around. I've decided to not use this tactic since it seems cheaty but I would prefer if the game was balanced in a way where we need to create realistic trench networks. The AI doesn't seem to bother with artying my troops too much in the open when I bring up my reinforcements to these disconnected trenches.

I'd like to hear your thoughts. In my opinion, communication trenches need a buff in some way. They have very niche use case which shouldn't be the case.

Seems the AI using the disconnected strategy in their trench layouts. I did not see this in the patch notes lole.

I think under 'Field Commander AI' for the 1.1.0 patch notes they were alluding to disconnected trenches through this quote: "Communications trench construction now scales more closely with game difficulty." Which I take as, on higher difficulties, the AI will not build comms trenches between their first and second lines.
