Patch Analysis (Hidden Changes)

Here is a list of data-mined changes since last patch.

Undocumented Gameplay Changes:
EDIT: Cruzz's list: http://pastebin.com/d3ST0xr8

• All Anti-tank team weapon formations changed from Scattered (Default) to Triangle.
  
• 2 new Victory Strikes (maybe I just didn't know about them): OKW Sturmtiger Saturation and USF Paratrooper Paradrop.
  
• OKW flak emplacement deflection chance increased from 124 to 200.
  
• Chance of "just die normally" vehicle critical decreased from 20% to 15%.
  
• Chance of "out of control" vehicle critical increased from 15% to 20%.
  
• Pathfinding timeout for squad holding reduced from 8 seconds to 0 (units teleport inside buildings and halftracks)
  
• Might be intended from previous tuning pack, but Ostrupped have the same damage received penalty as weapon crews (via larger target_size).
  
• alphatest_2 faceplate added.
  
• "Follow Player Camera" feature added when observing / watching replay.
  
• Guards variant of PPSH now have their own stats.
  Guards PPSH / Conscript PPSH
  near accuracy: 0.782 / 0.518
  mid accuracy: 0.115 / 0.115
  far accuracy: 0.265 / 0.23
  moving accuracy: 0.8 / 0.75
  
• Blitz ability for Tiger and Panther (panther_tiger_blitzkrieg_mp) is applied incorrectly. It'll slow the vehicle, instead of speed it up. replay
  

That's all I found gameplay-wise. I just wanted to say, hats off to Relic for the vehicle and flame crit changes. It is absolutely crazy the amount of modifications that were required to attributes - every vehicle and every soldier had to be touched. Combine that with their effort to merge tuning values into ebps, add team weapon facing, AND balance changes makes this by far the largest patch they have ever released.

The Guards PPsH change is interesting, because now they will have much better long range capability than shocks do!

Have you picked encirclement doctrine by a chance?

Am I the only one that noticed that American LMG's have a more metallic, realistic firing sound?!? Very subtle change but noticable!

The general chatter has returned for Ostheer and Soviets!

Thanks for taking the time Razh

I actually feel better after seeing the ninja changes to. Looks like a lot of work went into this patch Hats off indeed!
