Trench vs Bunker

[Mr.Frog]

Which one is superior in terms of defense?

[Le Negev]

Trench is better because infantry can shoot from all angles, unlike the bunker which can be shot from a certain number of it.
Both offer the same garrison cover though.

It depends.

Bunkers can be flexible via upgrades while Trenches can block paths from vehicles and for some reason more sturdy (in my experience).

Bunkers cost 150mp and 60muni upgrades (Medics, Reinforcements, MG42), and available at the start of the match as for the Wehr but requires a doctrine for the OKW.

Though Trenches are free, however they require a unlocked doctrine 2cp. (except for British which is always free).

In my conclusion, if I am given an option to build Trenches, I would build like 1-2 on a good position. But I tend to see myself building Bunkers for securing Territory and Reinforcement/Heals at the frontline.

I hope this helps!

bunker for the MG upgrade if you wanna secure a point without stationing troops there. otherwise, if we're talking about better garrisons, the trenches are significantly better imo.

Trenches also have a firing arc don't they?

[WARWOLFMELF]

trenches need infantry in it while bunker can upgrade mg42 without eat popcap.

[alprazolam consumer]

trench is better early game since no one's gonna be spending 150 mp for a bunker, let alone 60 muni for an mg upgrade so it's nice to have the ability to build a free mg garrison
bunker is better late game when people can are popcapped and can afford to shell out for it

[Felinewolfie]

Concrete bunker is best.
Windows all angles. Unkillable. Tons of upgrades

Bunkers become very useful at delaying attacks on the flanks when the game turns into a 40+ min war of attrition allowing you to concentrate your forces elsewhere. If its late game and you have MP and Munitions to burn at max pop cap its not a bad deal so you can secure your weak points.

I always liked trenches. If you use PGrens to get an hmg like mg 34 or 42 they can actually do some serious damage outside of supression.
