Updates for June 10th, 2013
Updates
- Create post-game AI survey for beta
AI Updates
- AI vehicle positioing tactic now prefers to find safer positions relative to the current position instead of always relative to the target position
- AI vehicle positioning tactic no longer tries to use vehicles that are bad at strafing to out postion an enemy relative to the enemies position
- AI tactics and fallback now properly check weapon ranges based on OBBs like the weapons do
- AI force attack tactic will not get stuck running if the target moves within minimum weapon range
- AI attack commands now properly detect squads in idle combat
- AI move commands now support a facing only move
- AI simple move state now copies the path finding weights when it starts to prevent other AI tasks from changing them after the move has started
- AI cover, vehicle, and force attack tactics now only do path finds with a path length factor of 1.5 and not unlimited since they should be short moves
- AI Vehicle Tactic now keeps more space between it and threatening entities and re-positions less frequently
- AI Task Combat State no longer oscillates between retreat and fallback when the squad wants to retreat but does not support retreating
- AI Ability Tactic properly converts entity and squad targets to position targets before attempting to do the ability if the targets cannot be seen
- AI squad clump detection system now tracks which clumps contain visible squads instead of just testing the centre of the clump for visibility
- AI checks for squads and entities being detectable now also checks if the squad or entity has been seen recently if so then they can still be detected
- AI vehicle tactic crash fix
- AI VehicleTactic now only does path following moves if the destination is greater than 15 meters so we can do less path finding
- AISimpleMoveState and AIObjectiveAttackArea repath and replan timers are now scaled by the number of local AI players so we don't continually throw away good paths when we are getting infrequent updates
- AITaskMoveState no longer gets confused between layover movement doing cold layovers and capture layovers
- AISimpleMoveState now sends a move command to the final position if it has waited for a path for longer than 8 seconds
- AITaskMoveState now checks to make sure its path is going to the correct destination before it assumes it has a path it can use
- AILeader and AIFollower tasks now coordninate better and spend less time stopping and waiting for each other
- When selecting squads to be leaders and followers, team weapon squads are no longer preferred to be leaders, they are now not preferred
- AITasks now know which task group they belong to
- AITactics are now prevented from being recursively updated
- AICaptureTasks now correctly check for capture progress relative to allies and enemies
- Skirmish AI no longer double military targets for neutral world owned points
- Skirmish AI players now calculate preferred map areas relative to other players and get penalties for attacking and capturing outside those areas
- Skirmish AI players now take into account what teammates have produced and prefer to build different units
- Skirmish AI will no longer try to build securing structures on points that cannot be secured. (victory points, fuel/munition points, watch towers)
-Skirmish AI now properly releases a squad from its current task before getting it to do a construction task
- Skirmish AI no longer fallsback if it is almost done capturing a point or reverting a point
- Skirmish AI no longer gives up on capturing a point on a cold map if there are no heat sources near the point but it is already capturing the point
- Skirmish AI no longer counts all units that can be spawned from a building as potential producibles, now it only counts units that it has the prerequisits for
- Skirmish AI now prefers to keep doing objectives it was doing the previous update
- Skirmish AI now uses attack objectives to capture undefended points instead of capture tasks without an objective
- Skirmish AI will now create attack objectives to attack military points that are undefended instead of only attacking military points that can be destroyed
- Skirmish AI will no longer send team weapon squads or artillery squads out alone to attack or capture unless they are already in combat at the target
- Skirmish AI now assigns extra squads to help attack objectives based on combat ratio improvement and distance and not just distance
- Skirmish AI now prefers to attack a military point with squads near it over a clump of enemy squads not quite near the military point to facilitate captuing the point while attacking
- AI no longer thinks Katyusha and Panzerwerfer are good for circle strafing
- Hard and Expert AI now use default dynamic economy without any overrides
- added dshk squad, panzer iv command squad, mortar halftrack, and assault field officer squad to the default AI economy

Bug Fixes
- Rare crash caused when a player in a vs AI automatch starts loading before they get the updated session info from the host for the populated AI slots

Balance
Soviet M3A1 Halftrack
• Damage from 9.9 to 10
• Far accuracy from 0.37 to 0.2
• Near cooldown duration modifier from 0.5 to 0.6
German 222 Scout Car
• Damage from 7.2 to 5
• Accuracy far from 0.125 to 0.2

Adjusted the risk vs. reward aspect of unit garrisons within vehicles.
• 50% chance for each entity inside halftrack to die when the garrisoned vehicle dies.
To better compensate for the larger squad sizes of the Soviet weapons teams, the following changes were made:
Soviet Weapon Teams
• Soviet PM41 82mm Mortar Barrage shoots slower: 2 to 3.575 seconds.
• Maxim HMG deals less damage: 12.9 to 9.5.
• Maxim HMG setups slower: 1.375 to 1.5125 seconds.
• Soviet HM-120mm Mortar shoots slower: 7 to 8.9 seconds.

I think this needed to be up-to-date:
Updates July 30th, 2013
General:
- Fixed 1 frame delay between user input and unit movement
- Updates to vehicle pathing
- Langreskaya Spring and Winter maps added (1v1 in automatch and 1v1 and 2v2 in custom game)
Balance:
Commander Ability Changes
The following abilities had their command point (CP) cost reduced to increase commander appeal. In contrast to the majority of Soviet Commanders a number of German doctrines did not have abilities available at 1 CP.
- Panzer Tactician: Command point cost from 2 to 1
- Mortar-Half-track: Command point cost from 2 to 1
- Artillery Field Officer: Command point cost from 2 to 1
- Riegel 43 AT Mine: Command point cost from 2 to 1
- Fear Propaganda Artillery: Command point cost from 5 to 3
The following changes were made to improve the usability of Rapid Conscription and Relief Infantry. Overall, it was very difficult to recover your cost on investment to both abilities due to their relatively low duration time. The goal was to increase the rate at which players could recover their cost and provide a possibility to earn back more than the initial resource investment.
Rapid Conscription
• Maximum replaced squads from 6 to 2
• Duration from 30s to 120s
• Recharge time from 90s to 180s
• Cost from 200 MU to 160 MU
• Ability now replaces lost squads with Conscripts rather than Penal Battalions
• Updated tooltip to better reflect ability functionality
Relief Infantry
• Maximum replaced squads from 6 to 3
• Duration from 60s to 120s
• Recharge time from 90s to 180s
• Updated tooltip to better reflect ability functionality
Previously, Hit the Dirt had the capacity to have its modifier stack with cover. This led to extremely durable units at very little cost to the user. It also impacted many of our combat systems, leading to inconsistent or undesirable behavior such as snipers missing the infantry.
Hit the Dirt
• Hit the dirt now provides light cover rather than a 0.5 received accuracy modifier.
The JU-87D Strafing Run now functions as a suppression ability. The loiter behavior was modified to improve the visuals of the off-map and make it more susceptible to anti-air weapons.
JU-87D Strafing Run
• Attacks per aircraft from 5 to 3
• Delay between attacks from 3s to 18s
• Duration time from 48s to 75s
• Target lead in from 50 to 20
• Target lead out from 60 to 20
• Target attack distance from 150 to 225
• Target attack time from 2.125 to 4.25
• Modified UI barrage radius to match the loiter radius of the JU-87D
• Damage from 8 to 2.5
• Rate of fire from 32 to 16
• Suppression from 0.12 to 0.25
• Max range from 175 to 225
Opel Blitz Cargo Truck
Previously, the cargo truck was multiplying a sectors value by a factor of 2. This resulted in extreme edge cases where fuel and munition incomes were higher than expected. To resolve this, supply trucks will only add a set amount of resources to sectors.
• A cargo truck setup within a sector now adds 3 fuel and 5 munitions per minute, rather than multiplying the sectors value by 2
• Cargo truck cost from 200 to 300 manpower
Adjustments to Scatter Distance
The following units had their scatter distance refactored to better match their performance and design. Higher scatter values generally implies weapons are less accurate.
IS-2
• Scatter distance max from 7.5 to 2.86
Panzer IV
• Scatter distance max from 6 to 9.5
T70
• Scatter distance max from 1.84 to 1.7
T34-85
• Scatter distance max from 3.4 to 2.6
Tiger
• Scatter distance max from 6.8 to 4.3
Ostwind
• Scatter distance max from 1.98 to 2.15
Brummbar
• Scatter distance max from 4.55 to 1
HMG Suppression Modifiers
HMG teams no longer function efficiently while pinned. This discourages tactics such as moving a HMG team into a setup HMG team unless on the flank. Pinned HMG squads now have the following modifiers applied to their squad:
• Weapon accuracy is now reduced by 75%
• Weapons reload has been increased by 100%
• Weapon cooldown has been increased by 100%
• Weapon scatter has been increased by 320%
• The Maxim HMG now properly has its movement reduced while suppressed
Correction from Patch on June 13
• Stug target size set from 20 to 14
• Riegel AT Mine recharge from 30s to 0s
Bug Fixes:
• Command tank now properly validates, this prevents the user from using the call in when they are near max pop.
• Incendiary barrage duration now better matches its deployment time.

Updates August 20th, 2013
General
• Added Map Veto for Automatch – Party hosts can now veto up to 1/3rd of applicable maps before beginning the automatch process. A veto counts as a vote against a map and the automatcher will only select among the maps with the fewest number of votes
• Replays now store build version in header to allow filtering out of old replays that will cause a sync error
• Changed method of determining local player when loading a saved game
• Added ability to change Faceplate and added two new faceplates to select from
Gameplay
• Guard Rifle Infantry ‘Button’ Ability will now be disabled if the squad is pinned
• Canceling building in progress of the 152mm gun-howitzer will now refund the full cost
• Guard Rifle Infantry that drop both their DP-28s can now repurchase the weapon
• Mines can now be killed by flamethrowers
• Conscripts with the repair ability can now repair abandoned vehicles, matching the behavior of the engineer repair ability
• Increasing the pop cap cost of team weapons so re-manned weapons do have a lower pop cap cost
Balance
Vehicles
Focus on improving T34 viability and better balancing RAM for mid-late game. The role of the T34 is that of a flanker meant to exploit enemy weak points with hit and run tactics. RAM has been adjusted to be countered through movement vs. mediums and lower. Against heavier armor, RAM now has a chance to fail based on armor and penetration. This was to account for the fact that heavy vehicles cannot maneuver out of the RAM ability as easily as light and medium vehicles.
T34
• Main gun damage from 80 to 120
• Main gun penetration from 75 to 80
• Cost from 240 MP and 95 FU to 280 MP and 85 FU
T34 Ram
• Ram min range from 10 to 17
• Ram max range from 30 to 35
• Penetration from 1000 to 160
• Damage from 100 to 160
• Deflection damage added, now does 80 damage on deflect
• Deflection now results in a crew shock critical to the receiving vehicle
• Ram engine overheat from 4 to 2.5s
o If the engine overheats, the T34 will be slowed down eventually canceling the RAM
• Ram engine overheat now a timed action, lasts 30s
• Added in tooltip for engine overheat critical
• Removed exhaust engine damage, adjusted critical changes to compensate for this change and keep things relatively the same
SU-85
• Focused Sight now reduces movement speed by 50%
Unit Abilities
AT grenades and Panzerfaust will see reduced effectiveness vs. heavier targets. This change is meant to improve the flow of mid-to-late game tank combat by making aggressive maneuvers less risky. Heavy tanks should be better able to spearhead as a result. Little to no impact vs. medium to light vehicles.
AT Grenade
• Damage from 80 to 100
• Added deflection damage, now deals 80 damage on deflect
• Penetration from 1000 to 100
Oorah!
• Cost from 5 to 10 ammunition
Panzerfaust
• Damage from 80 to 100
• Added deflection damage, now deals 80 damage on deflect
• Penetration from 1000 to 140
