Sept 3rd Patch Notes

General:

British Forces

The British Forces added to the game. This includes the Core Army + 3 Commanders (Commando Regiment, Royal Artillery Regiment, Royal Engineer Regiment).
8 new maps added (Arnhem Checkpoint, Gelsenkirchen Refinery, Heidelberg Crossings, Dusseldorf, Across the Rhine, Essen Steelworks, Port of Hamburg, Lorch Assault).
British items now drop in Warspoils. This includes 32 British Intel Bulletins, 3 British Victory Strikes, 4 skin sets, and 3 commanders (Special Weapons Regiment, Tactical Support Regiment, Vanguard Operations Regiment).
British items are now available in the in-game store (3 commanders, 4 skin sets).
British Forces added to the leaderboards.

Tool Set update

Modding toolset has been regenerated and published to allow modding of British data.

Map List Changes

Removed Sittard Summer from the Automatch map list
Removed Stalingrad from the Automatch map list
Removed Bystraya Voda from the Automatch map list

Leaderboards

After 2 weeks with no games played ranks will begin to decay.
After 4 weeks with no games played players are hidden from the leaderboard view.
Playing a game will return a player to viewable.

Store

In game store now has mixed bundles and Mission Packs tabs

Gameplay Updates:

Random AOE issues
Area of Effect weapons had accuracy and penetration fall off values that would make Area of Effect damage inconsistent. In the case with Mines, it sometimes wouldnât do any damage when it obviously triggered.

Removed Accuracy and Penetration from AOE. Accuracy values have been changed to always hit and Penetration value have been changed to the same as the value of the weapon. There were a lot of issues that accuracy value and penetration values created with AOE. One of them being mines sometime doing no damage even when triggered. We raised AOE accuracy so it can no longer miss and Penetration to match the penetration value of the weapon.

AOE Weapon tuning
By removing AOE accuracy and penetration fall off from AOE weapons, we had to make adjustments to many AOE weapons to compensate for this. AOE radius on AOE Weapons may have changed slightly due to this.
Ambient Buildings
We wanted to improve unit response times when infantry squads are entering and exiting ambient buildings.

Changed time to load into and unload out of buildings to 0.

Target Tables
To isolate relationships of certain weapons vs a unit type without affecting its relationship with all the other units, we felt we needed to use target tables.

Target tables have been added into the Attribute Editor. All extra damage towards certain unit types have been moved from damage penetration actions to the target table.

New Weapon Type
We felt grenades were taking down ambient buildings too easily so we wanted to isolate its weapon critical type from other bigger explosive weapons.

Small Explosive and big explosive. Small explosives are grenades and big explosives are every other explosive weapons.

Flame Weapons and Flame Criticals
We were not happy with how Flamethrower weapons took on the role of an anti-infantry upgrade when its role was anti-cover. All Infantry and Vehicle Flame weapons now spawn a flame Damage over time on the location of the flame burst. Flame weapons also have a 50% accuracy debuff while moving. This is to prevent flame units from acting like assault troops or easily wiping retreating infantry.

Flame Criticals no longer trigger at 50% health but at 0%.
All Flame Weapons have had their damage increased to compensate
All Flame Weapons now leave a flame DOT doing damage over time in that area.
All Infantry and Vehicle Flame weapons are 50% less accurate while moving.

Squad Formations

All infantry squads has had their squad formation updated to better spread out the units in open, and negative cover. Their formation in light or heavy cover remains the same.

New Squad Formation added to existing infantry to make them spread out more

ALL Howitzers

We wanted to make it easier for players to counter Howitzers.

Howitzers can no longer be built in Command H.Q Territory

Balance Updates

Bridges

We have increased the durability of bridges so they can withstand more damage.

Bridges health and armor increased

Wehrmacht

We are increasing the CP of the Command Tank to bring it in-line with our new tank pacing.

Command Tank CP increased from 8 to 9

Soviets

The ML-20 was doing too much damage per shot for the number of shells it fired. We have decided to reduce the damage.

ML-20 Damage reduced from 300 to 160

USF

We wanted to improve the Field Defense Commander upgrade.

Field Defenses - CP reduced from 2 to 0
Field Defenses - M7 Mine replaced with regular mine

OKW

Sturmtiger

The visual feedback from the FX was smaller than the actual damage radius. To match visual feedback and damage radius we are reducing its AOE radius slightly.

Weapon AOE Radius changed from 10 to 8

More Balance updates to come with the Balance Preview early September.

keep in mind, it says that there are more changes coming with a balance preview mod in early september

Why are you posting it again, it's already in the OP and with a spoiler. And for good reason, namely so it doesn't take up the entire screen.

Dear god, everyone doesn't have to auto veto Sittard anymore.

Posts: 764

Small but decisive balance changes, with a good amount of bugfixes that finally address thing which probably annoyed the most of us.

Some people don't like to click a link or click away from the thread. And so they can quote certain parts of the patch notes if they want to.

EDIT: I didn't see the OP's spoiler when I posted that.

Is this maybe the end of some squad wipes?

Lots of good things here.

With target tables in now, it opens up a lot of new options for future balancing.

Yeah, I wonder if maybe they over nerfed the ML-20. It needed adjustment but I guess we'll see. Meanwhile, the rest of the changes look good!

Slowly but surely we're getting the game we deserve but not the game we need.

Just had to read the patch notes again. So many annoying things gone... Please Relic, just release today

Posts: 2561

So at 160 damage wouldn't that make the ML 20 completely inferior then lefh, or is there some other stat that still gives some sort of advantage?

Posts: 1585 | Subs: 1

ML-20 Got nerfed so hard its silly. Reduction in damage by almost 50% and cannot be built in HQ sector, and all that without a scatter decrease. Still a one shot to many off map abilities. Well guess those are out of meta again.

Flamethrowers are not AI?!??! I never even knew that was Relic's intended purpose, will be interesting to see how that plays out. Hard to understand that when most squads with them have small sizes and require rapid kills to make up for the loss of models when attacking infantry in cover.

Nice to see a lot of bug fixes. Also two nice changes to US commander abilities.

Posts: 106

I wonder how flame weapons will feel now. The damage over time on location should be neat. Makes me think if they made these changes for the incoming Crocodile.
