Destructable Buildings?(?)

[KampfKeksKrieger]

I looked for more information about the game inside the existing stuff, and I have seen that the building here is obiously ... destroyed.

Does that mean you cannot enter it? Does it have gameplay impacts?
I did not see such buildings in W:RD, at least not like this. You could enter those burned buildings once again and also the burned forests ofc.
Not that I expect it to be changed, but... Is there something going to happen (to come) over us?

Is it new, or too small or too obvious to be new?

Destructible buildings were in RD I believe. But that could just be a set piece on that map.

I do hope that buildings provide better cover the more they are blown up if they are destructible.

It seems to work as it does in AoA : the buildings are destructible. FLX also clearly hinted that buildings are destructible in SD and that destruction should lower the protection granted to the infantry hiding in it.

I think 'it is working like in RD', is not the same as it is in AoA, and how is is influencing gameplay exactly now?
In RD, it was mostly visually, and as I said, only temporarily if bombed or burned... at most.

RD had no destructible enviroments. The terrain got some small visual changes temporarily before it reset itself.

An interesting way to go about it would be lower protection, but increased stealth in ruined buildings.

Increased stealth and slowing down of movement, for anything that isnt a churchill

I think certain buildings in a sector could be destroyed, I'm not sure if it was just visual or they couldn't occupy that building anymore.

In AoA, you could enter some single infantry in the buildings...
will there also be different sizes or capacity to occupy?

At least, I can remember small districts in RD, with 40 if not 60 soldiers at point blank... it would be too difficult to play I think (to regroup squads all the time), but on the other hand, it would be quite neat.

Using ruins differently to fresh buildings would also indeed improve things... or will it become too deep?
