Cruzz's findings on Ninja changes:
Ninja things:
All PZIVs (PZIV, Command Tank, PZIV Ausf J) are now using a new West German PIV ausf i model that has been added to the game. GIVE BACK OSTHEER PIV.
Potentially fixed rifleman defensive also being triggerable in combat, can't test before the servers come up
Pack Howitzer Heat Barrage (vet2 barrage) range reduced by 10, lowered scatter. Added barrage cooldown decrease and range increase to default barrage on pack howitzer vet2 like for other attack types. AND NO LONGER GAINS HEAT ROUNDS FOR THE BASE ATTACK. Goodbye Pack Howitzer being useful, back into the trash heap with the LEIG and SU76.
Ostwind simbox is bigger, likelier to get hit by scattering shots (doesn't make a difference for accuracy attacks).
Priest Creeping Barrage area length from 30 to 20 units. Minimum range from 35 to 55.
Soviet 120mm & 82mm mortar now gain +33% range to precision strike on vet3.
Ostheer mortar vet3 gets 33% range to counter barrage
USF mortar HT Delayed Fuse Barrage range increased from 56 to 106.
USF 57mm ATgun lost -20% accuracy bonus at vet2, but they fixed a potential bonus stacking issue on the weapon.
Pak40 crit muni cost to 30(40), now has duration of 4 seconds during which every round will stun and will just attack the target it has or pick one automatically if you haven't given attack order. Pak43 same thing.

"Obersoldaten will always try to fire from the hip / standing position unless another effect causes them to use prone"
Why? Why? Why?
....because they are Ober :-)
but I like the change to the paratroopers firing on the move. The only real impact I see so far

-Removed the negative effects from Soviet "For Mother Russia!" Commander ability.
Damn, that ability was already border line OP, and on a commander without useless abilities(except maybe b4 in 1v1). Prepare for shocktroop blobs killing half the army on retreat every game against soviets.
