... and you may as well have simply left them alone and had a gentleman's agreement to not use them.
You very much nailed my problem. Lack of gentleman's agreements.
And I can completely understand your hesitation to touch OF.

However I have been thinking we could start to address the ToV units. Before we even get to balance, what do people think about making them extra units rather than replacements? Decisions about what to build should be made in-game, not before it begins.
really interesting idea. Probably contrary to your attempts to make t4 more useful in 1v1, but nevertheless, I really like the idea. It will make motor pool and t3 more interesting if you can mix those units in game. Especially the phosphor rounds for the US and the super long range from the Geschützwagen do add some variety.
one +1 from me
Would not do it for OF though.

Thoughts on reducing Raid CP to 1? With or without increasing AWM by 1?

Probably fun to spam jeeps into m8 with rapid response and cap the map in 2v2s

Thoughts on reducing Raid CP to 1? With or without increasing AWM by 1?Armor doc would be chosen more then, because jeeps become so much better. I really like the idea tho, as im an old jeep/rifle user and the times i went armor doc i always wanted the Raid to be 1 CP, cause i felt that when i hit 2CP's the jeep already was facing paks etc,.

I like, that there was the idea of improving jeep spam by a doctrine. However this ability only starts to be useful for the M8, which comes around 2CP. Jeeps get killed instantly by mines and fausts (a jeep with engine damage and 10% health is a dead jeep).
Theoretically 1CP reduced building time from LHS with 1CP Rapid response would be interesting for M8 spam.
I vote to remove them.

However I can understand if people would like to keep them disabled just to forget they exist.

list with possible changes
It's basically my old list, having kept updated. I wanted to post this earlier but I also wanted to finish remake of Stuh first. Which I had a bunch of trouble with finding the right recipe.
explanations follow later
Do note, I'm still very open for changes like switching zeal and inspired assault in the Terror tree, but i'm not 100% convinced so I left those out for now.

Download Link for Elite Mod v2.4
link down? I´ve tried firefox and iexplorer but gives me error message, file not found.
list with possible changes
Can´t really comment since balancing is not my thing (I´m too bad
), loving the bug fixes... but there are some things I don´t understand like:* American HMG reinforce cost from 0.5x to 0.3x, reinforce time 0.9x
Does it means 20% cheaper and 10% faster to reinforce? And how this translates to mp and time?
* Mortar damage vs airborne armor from 1x to 2x, accuracy vs airborne to 1x (from 0.75x)
100% more damage vs airborne? 25% more accuracy? If yes...why? Isn´t this too much?
Extra's / more options / random ideas:
* remove 'unit sniped' button
why? looks like a huge buff to snipers, they are already good.

Wetransfert is up to 2Go but only stay active for 2 weeks.
I'd like to see some fix on the halftrack/quad about the passenger's in/out animation. It's hard to save 1 guy by making him jump inside a ht. It's even harder to offload a squad and make the squad active.
Plus, who doess use the offload button ? It sucks, the vehicle search the area for at least 3 secs before sending the guys on the field.

* American HMG reinforce cost from 0.5x to 0.3x, reinforce time 0.9x
Does it means 20% cheaper and 10% faster to reinforce? And how this translates to mp and time?
240(cost of squad) / 3(men) * 0.3x (reinforce modifier) = 24 (= same as riflemen)
Time from 12 to 10.8 seconds per guy
The reason for this type of change is that it currently it is actually better to let the crew die and just reinforce it with rifleman squad (instead of retreating one guy left). (cheaper / better veterancy / better gun on side guys / safer at retaining the gun)
Same goes for volks and MG42 but instead of veterancy benefits the volksgrenadier has 5 more health.
This change encourages to retreat your squad and reinforce it instead of it letting it die. Letting units die should, in general, not give benefits. It's just bad gameplay. (disregarding AWM.)
* Mortar damage vs airborne armor from 1x to 2x, accuracy vs airborne to 1x (from 0.75x)
100% more damage vs airborne? 25% more accuracy? If yes...why? Isn´t this too much?
It's just to give it the same modifiers as standard infantry and elite infantry. It's just a bug fix. Relic never did any balancing on stolen weapons. So if you were to steal an American mortar as Wehr it would perform super terrible against airborne squads compared to riflemen and rangers.
Extra's / more options / random ideas:
* remove 'unit sniped' button
why? looks like a huge buff to snipers, they are already good.
Yeah that's the reason I kept it in the 'extra idea list'. It's probably best to not change the unit sniped button at the moment.
But I very much dislike the gameplay of such a button, it takes away the cloaking aspect of the sniper and there are tons of players who actually don't know this button exists!
It's a silly thing that should have never existed in the first place. (It was removed in coho for this reason.)
To balance the removal out one could increase the reveal radius on all units.

Since 2.XXX patch veterancy bonuses from support vet also affects volks and other recrew units.

7 cp Pershing would be OP tbh, but ye calliope cp reduction does indeed make sense.
But I'm afraid the project is dead, not much interest to be seen these days. Then again, it's good weather outside in Europe past few days / weeks.

yep, but then, the overall vCoH forum felt pretty deserted after TFN left and Ami talked about his frustration about CoH2. After that, it got really quiet here around vCoH, not only the mod.
Although player stats are still fine, only a small decline since the beginning of February.
http://www.steamcharts.com/app/228200#6m
Overall, I like to use this mod for 1v1 with friends but the real hope I have is that one day, someone at Smoking Gun has good moment and copies those files into the next Steam release (if it is that easy...)
Still hoping for the best. As always.

Yeah that was my main hope aswell, cause they were working on a beta and updates. And with Tommy stepping up there was a 'hype'.
But not a lot of fucks were given at Relic. (As usual
)
Well if they would only do 24mp riflemen and bug fix like M10 misfire ... the game would be improved a ton by those alone.
After Tommy and Fatal Saint said goodbye, the future prospects of competitive vcoh tournaments went downhill rapidly aswell.
I did enjoy my time studying the game files in Corsix though. For example, it was a personal victory when I found out hedgerows could burn down.
And it just shows how brilliant the game engine is and the huge potential it still has to create an even better experience.
But I'll guess we'll never know. Life's a bitch. :-)
