Relic did a good job with patch note accuracy this patch. Here are some (mostly) minor things that were changed outside the patch notes:

Soviet:
120mm mortar precision strike:
Damage reduced from 200 to 80.
Flinch radius reduced from 8 to 4.
This change was applied separately from the 82mm mortar precision strike nerf.

Combat Engineer:
Build time reduced from 24 seconds to 21 seconds.

German:
The hull machine gun on the p4, ostwind, elefant, panther, tiger and tiger ace:
Damage increased from 2 to 4

General:
The armour of all fences has been increased from 3 to 7.
Bricks and posts have had their armour increased from 25 to 40 and health from 110 to 270.
Light vehicles may no longer crush driftwood piles.

If this is true how does it effect the cover gameplay?

I only played a few games, however, it seems they might have tweaked how the StG44 shoots? more in a burst fashion than automatic fire?

Overall dps didn't seem to change, anyone else notice this?

Damage reduced from 200 to 80.
Flinch radius reduced from 8 to 4.

This only impacts buildings I guess. 80 damage is still enough to kill 40 hp soldiers. But AOE reduce is bad.

Thanks for this hidden changes.

the notes never specified that only the 82mm got nerfed. it just said "Precision strike now deals the same amount of damage as the main barrage weapon" which does imply it affects both mortars.

its worth noting the flinch radius is NOT the same thing as the AOE. the 120mm precision AOE has not changed


also, build time is linked to unit cost, so reducing the CE cost by 30 mp also reduced its build time by 3 seconds.

Team balance, decided to withdraw these maps outside automatch. So this is not a bug, but is a feature:

Don river
Pripyat
Pripyat Winter
Rzhev
City 17 Winter

What is Flinch Radius? Is it the area within which enemy troops hit the deck if a mortar round falls?

Why are there ninja changes in the first place? Sigh. And how does one notice them?

It's most likely things they forgot about or didn't think were all that significant. It's not like they have some sinister plan to sneak in stronger fences while we aren't looking.

I think the precision strike nerf was necessary. On mortar duels like Semoiski this was just annoying. As soon as the soviet mortar hit vet 1 the duel was over. I have yet to see whether the ability to totally wipe German mortars is in fact reduced. The 120mm mortar still has a more powerful grenade, more range and the ability to deliver a precision strike. I´m almost certain it will still outclass German mortars.

And cost 2x more. Now is no reason build 120mm. Two normal 81mm are better deal.

And it only took 6+ months and probably a million vetos to come to this conclusion...

Better late than never I guess...

On rear armor with mark target maybe.
And its PTRS.
PTRD was a different one.

It's range should return to pre-nerf values after all the changes.

01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
27 Mar 2025, 04:31 AM
Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?
25 Mar 2025, 18:27 PM
Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
