I'm surprised no one is talking about the new mortar suppression. That has to be the biggest change to the game. Hope it's a good one.
I didn't see anything about mortars suppressing, just ISG and Pack Howie...

And no buff to suppression units? Well 70% of what I wanted to see is in there. I am pretty happy. Still want a Stuart buff and the Flampanzerwagen to be viable again. And of course the call in meta.
Note the changes to the MG42 accuracy at far range. It is nearly double. That is going to make the MG42 suppress a lot better at far range so infantry can't just run up to grenade range.

Pios larger spotting range is gonna help here as well.

If only Germans could get some Jacksons.

Accuracy doesn't affect suppression AFAIK. That's why people use the RoF bulletins for MG42s if they want it to suppress faster.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the new mortar suppression. That has to be the biggest change to the game. Hope it's a good one.Unless I've missed something, mortars do not supress. The "mild" supression is given only to the 420 / 480 mp field guns. Forgive me if I am not holding my breath.
In CoH1, even the 240MP mortars dished out supression if they landed on top of a squad. It did not make the game any worse.
Massive supression radius for howitzer impacts and maybe even mortar strikes would do wonders for the blob meta.

Considering the large number of bounces the IS2 currently produces, and the fact that it is being shot by Tanks and AT guns with superior penetration, I suspect the KT will still manage fine unless the Jackson turns out to be OP.
A vetted Jackson pens now a KT with nearly 100 %. Thus it's really risky to get a KT, when you know Jacksons are on the field. I think 2 Panthers or Panther & JP4 will be better choice.
No Clue why Skillplanes were left unchanged.

Oh, my mistake then. Guess I got the two confused. I suppose the MG42 will just be a lot better at dealing damage at long range then

New maps
Hill 331 back and look forward to it
Rostov, I will miss you because I've had some great games on you but I know you can't be balanced
Shallow water no longer offers a speed reduction penalty.•This has been removed to increase ebb and flow around areas which feature shallow water.
Now not just RNJesus can walk on water!
Truck Pushing, Blobs, Squad Wipes
Good, good
okw
OKW base Flak Gun chance to shoot down aircraft has been reduced to 0.5%
Anyone know what it was before?
Volksgrenadiers
Now more killable by conventional means, but will fire faster at Vet5 instead
Long range accuracy take down as well
Obers
As predicted the LMG-34 now costs munitions and Ober damage with that and STG44 taken down
Raketenwerfer
Slight buff
King Tiger
I presume this is 425 to 375, not all the way to 37...
amis
M10
Better health so will now explode slightly slower
M36 Jackson
Penetration UP, Damage DOWN
Which is exactly what people wanted
M8 Greyhound Canister Shot
Less wipy
USF Mortar Halftrack
Supposed to be made 250/7 comparable
Pak Howitzer
Now better blob counter with some supression
HMC (Scott)
Less wipy
soviets
Soviet Sniper
No sprint anymore, flares need VET1
B4
Generally nerfed, but direct fire is cheeper and gains range at VET3 like other artillery
precision strike gone
Guard Troops
PTRS accuracy buff, which I believe will make them actually useful against infantry rather than deadweight
120mm Mortar
Less wipy
ostheer
Pioneers
Get a sight buff so they can spot, this was unexpected but I can see why
Shreks
Get the same nerf as OKW
Sniper
Healthbuff so nearly doubled
SdKfz 222 Armored Car
Slight health buff, not sure how much difference that will make
HMG 42
Got the slight buff people wanted
axis
Blitzkrieg is now less instant warp, and Tigers and Panthers don't get quite as much top speed out of it
Overall:
Fewer squad wipes, but fewer squad wipes needed because blobbing is more discouraged.
OKW have been nerfed, but the things nerfed are the things that needed nerfing (Volks and Obers)
USF: Net gain as Jacksons will be reliable rather than bouncy bouncy all the time
Artillery gets some improvement
Soviets:
B4 was already endangered by CAS, we'll see what happens to it now
Guards look like they may actually be useful again
Wehrmacht:
May get indirect buff via Jackson change, but not a lot for them here.
Slight buffs to snipers and 222s, MG42s now better
Blitz nerf also affects them
Overall and on range of -10 to +10
OKW -5
USF +4
SOV +1
OKH +1

German sniper 82 health? Does this mean it survives direct hits from bazookas/grenades/mortars?
Yes, therefore 82 health and not 80.

Wolverine buff is kinda nice also.That US cmdr should be a bit more efficient.
With the nerf to AA truck, will the Sov's supply drop get through now ?
OKW aggressive truck placement seem to be harder now ? Will it be more vulnerable will it setup ?
Thanks Relic !

Why the hell is the KT going to have almost double the cost of an IS2 while having the exact same armor as it.
It still has higher health and twice the damage.
