First off, I just want to thank Relic for being so engaged with the community in their patches lately. It's been great to have feedback before the real patch goes live.
One request: can you make a way to decommission emplacements and get a partial refund for them? A lot of times they just sit back and suck up my population. That would be great!
Tiger Penetration increased from 180/200/220 to 200/220/240
Tiger range increased from 45 to 50
I agree that the Tiger needed a little extra oomph. Can you make the IS-2 slightly more accurate to compensate? I'm not asking for satellite-guided accuracy, but that thing can't hit the broad side of a barn, especially while moving. I just think it should be increased slightly to compete with what sounds like a vastly superior Tiger.
Added bonus damage against emplacment for walking stuka
Good change. Currently, the Stuka really wasn't performing very well against emplacements. However, I think it may require lowering the 90 second brace recharge time to around ~60 seconds. I think going from 15 to 90 is a
huge jump. As silly as it is to have Stukas be useless against emplacements, I'd hate to see all British emplacements completely invalidated by multiple artillery pieces on the field in larger games.
I'd be more okay with this if going for the AEC armored car upgrade gave a mobile mortar while the Bofors upgrade unlocked the mortar pit, because having to rely on an emplacement for any arty at all (besides the base howitzers) is really limiting.
Bofors Accuracy reduced from 0.875/0.818/0.76 to 0.775/0.46/0.36
Bofors Damage reduced from 40 to 30
Bofors Vs building garrison cover dmg multiplier changed from 0.5 to 0.2
Bofors Distance_scatter_max changed from 2.15 to 5.15
*cough*
Four nerfs.
Four. And they're all by pretty huge margins. Do you think it might be a little better to nerf it, you know, incrementally to see what works instead of going all out on the Bofors like this?
