FEBRUARY 25TH UPDATE - RELEASE NOTES

• It says the AEC's cost was changed from 320/60, but its current cost is 340/50. Can someone explain this? Sorry if this was already stated in the thread, but I only read the patch notes.
  
• No more fuel cost for UC = rejoice!
  
• Calliope not being able to decrew means it can't repair without rear echelons. That's a big nerf that has nothing to do with the cooldown.
  
• Artillery cover definitely needed a nerf, but now I'm afraid there will be no point in picking that commander, because everything else in it sucks.
  
• I'm really happy to see Relic trying to further improve the awful, awful tank pathfinding. Still, I think the best solution would be to just go back to how it was before, then switch the reverse gear hotkey to V instead of the horribly misplaced U key.

Am I the only one here that wanted an accuracy buff for the .222? I'm lucky to kill a single model on retreat through negative cover...

Hello? Anyone home?

CC unit for OKW? How about sturmpioneers, Panzerfusiliers with G43, or Obers with IR-STG-44?

And did you forget to read the bits about Rocket artillery being selectively nerfed?

Maxim nerf is coming next patch, alongside further balance changes.
