Updates & Bug Fixes

Animation fixes for the US Forces .50 cal machine gun
Localization updates
Remove player level stars on faceplates
Balance Changes


Wehrmacht

Opel Blitz Truck
Cost reduced from 300 to 200
Resource bonuses are now exclusive to the player
Blitzkrieg
Now adds a speed maximum modifier by 1.5
Duration decreased from 20 seconds to 15 seconds

My comment: Good move on Opel blitz. Still no fix for MG42, still sucky vs Maxim. Tiger needs to be reinstated to previous state before patch. PGs still need a bigger buff.

MY comment:

STILL waiting for maxim and sov sniper nerf.
Flame troop damage also needs nerf.
Barrage ability should be nerfed
M3 price increase not enough. Should of added 35 MP too.
IS2 should be reinstated to pre patch
Nerf T-34/85 needed ASAP or change to 11 CP.
Sov mines still far too cheap. And generally sov munition moves too cheap.
T-34/76 need cost increase by 40 MP and 15 fuel at least

MY comment:

No need at all to change flak truck as US equivalent comes in just as early
Jagd tiger maybe 270 fuel would have been fair.
Finally light crush. Pathing was terrible on that thing!
Volksgren need slight damage buff, they are really bad! Cons are very upgradable Volks are not that much. Only 1 panzshrek and basic grenade. No OOrah, No hit the dirt NOTHING

My comment:

M10 range increae to 50 WDF. not needed its already at 7 CP.
Rear echelon and its noob ability still not nerfed. LAME
Us forces too easy to blob and not punished enough.

Not only bad, but also slow.

only the maxim needs a nerf and this game is near perfect.

In lobby.

I agree. Very close to good balance.

maxim is still the only major issue.

Sov should have range decrease of 15% due to 2 man team to make it even with OH sniper.

IS2 should be reinstated to pre patch and so should tiger. No need to change these 2.

locked already a thread for this...
