ML120 damage increased from 160 to 200

Finally

Added bonus damage against emplacment for walking stuka

Walking stuka not enough OP ? seriously it's already the best mobile arty of this game

typo in the notes tiger range is 40 to 45

So the Tiger on vet 2 has a range of 56.25 units? Tiger, here I come.

I can't find anything wrong with these changes.

Edit: but that's probably because I'm a casual that plays vs AI only Kappa

Universal Carrier, WC51 Doge, 222, Kubelwagon, and M3 Scout car now have 50 bonus accuracy to snipers type.

still no adjustments to UKF manpower problems?

still no adjustments to UKF manpower problems?

idk if you can call intended design a problem

Interesting change to the Tiger. Also nice to see that scout vehicles will be better at murdering snipers although the M20 really ought to have been included as well.

Reduced Damage modifer for the USF mortar halftrack from 1 to 0.5

Does this mean

[Reduced Damage] modifier

or

Reduced [damage modifier]

??

Edit: Confused this with the live version for a minute

Reverted Armor buff to Sherman from 180 back to 160

I liked the Sherman's armor upgrade, I just didn't like the pen upgrade so much. Made no sense for a low velocity 75mm to be better than a high velocity 75mm.

Double resource bonus removed from FLG, noooooooo....

Meh, wtv. I just want to repair the darn thing again. It always gets damaged off of things no matter where you land, as well as damage from AA fire.

Also, Anti-Building Flame Mortar Support targets and destroys deployed OKW base trucks, needs immediate fix.

It also lags my game to hell when it does that.

Finally




Walking stuka not enough OP ? seriously it's already the best mobile arty of this game

It did VERY little damage to emplacements even without Brace activated. The AEC countering Puma on top of the Stuka being meh against emplacements made the Mechanized truck a waste of time when facing Brits.

Very good changes. One question though.

Why is the m20 not on that list? It seems every faction now has a non doctrine unit that is now a good counter to a sniper.

Was an HMG garrisoned 17-lber really that much of a problem? Seems kind of like a counter-intuitive and inelegant fix for 1 squad to randomly not be able to be garrisoned in 1 emplacement.

I feel like a lot of these changes nerf or buff units that were not really problematic in the first place. No one was really calling crew repair operations OP, were they?

Nevermind, logic fail, ha
