Bunkers

Other than fortresses bunkers (and especially bunker lines) rarely did have an 360° field of fire. It is possible to limit the field of fire of a bunker to three hexes?

I understand your point.
Given the scale of the game, a bunker representation would, in actuality, be a series of bunkers facing multiple directions.

The scale varies from scenario to scenario - especially in the mods.

You are partially right: most "Widerstandsnester" and "Stützpunkte" in the Atlantic Wall had have an allround defense, but sometimes not, as these pictures clearly are
showing:

The pillboxes and bunkers in the Westwall mostly had have no "rear defense".

My question was of "technical nature" and I cautiously ask now the mod designers, if an implementation of my thoughts will be possible? :?: :)

To the best of my knowledge, no. Units in Panzer Corps have no field of view or field of fire and can attack any direction and there is no way to limit it by modding without changing the game mechanincs.
