Maybe remove it from weapon that are HMG and be done with it?

Capping power and field presence is THE game.

Even if we don't understand exactly how it works, I do think it's a cool effect...

Being cool is not enough for keeping it.

There need to consistency on game mechanics. If a weapon profiles has it than all weapon in that profile need to have it, so that is consistency in unit behavior.

That is one of current problems of the game now. Instead of keeping rules that one can understand and learn everything is "balanced" in individual basis.

And that goes even to the simplest things:
It used to be that, reinforcement cost followed a rule now half the units follow it, half of them do not.

It used to be that, reinforcement time was related to reinforcement cost now half the units follow it, the other half do not.

Chancing things on an individual basis unnecessarily complicates. One should firs look for global changes and then for individual ones.

Pretty much every automatic infantry weapon has it except for lmgs.

• Popcap for the entire squad with a faction appropriate max crew size, soviet team weapons crewed by other factions would be -2 popcap.
  
• Under AOE, 80 dmg radius to show how far away the aoe will oneshot infantry (in default cover)
  
• Tracking, to show horizontal turret speed and left/right rotation. Fire cone angle is how much leeway there is for the unit to fire even if not directly pointed at the opponent
  
• Suppression, for weapons that have a non-zero amount as a default
  
• Removed the kinda broken cover picking option (because I never applied it to the accordion stats, only to the graph calculation)

Great job once more, well done.

Does the new modifier for mortars vs buildingas affect how much damage the structure gets?

Jump back to quoted post21 May 2018, 17:15 PMCruzz

Never tested it, gut feeling would be a "no" (it's not like the garrison is in garrison cover), but it's not like it would be out of the question for it to actually affect it too. If I still remember I'll test it the next time I'm messing around with the mod tools.

The entire building damage system is largely a mystery to me, only thing that has always seemed consistent is that the bigger the radius of your aoe the more damage you'll do, any other modifiers seem largely meaningless in comparison.

Brit base howitzers have horrid modifiers for building_damage and very sharp aoe falloff and a 0.25 modifier against garrison but they still demolish buildings way better than other 160 damage attacks from tanks for instance thanks to the 6 radius.

Minor update, added in the missing USF 76mm Sherman and Brit 17 pounder emplacements to the file.

Tested the garrison cover damage modifier, it doesn't affect the damage you do to the building.

Did ostheer and OKW p4 have different like AI, i mean accuracy for gun and damage for mgs ?

Is the easy 8 the only tank that doesn’t have scatter on the move?

Also, didn’t they patch out the infantry sections horrible moving accuracy or is that still there?

Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2018, 21:04 PMRoastinGhost

I'm away from my gaming computer right now, but the Easy 8 does not (or maybe did not) have movement scatter. They added some in the December Balance Patch, but I'm not sure if that made it to live.

About the infantry section moving accuracy; kind of. It was very bad at .25, and now it's slightly less bad at .35.

Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2018, 21:29 PMLoopDloop

Huh. .35 is around the norm for bolt action rifles though right?
