Relic Winter Balance Preview v1.9 Update

Winter Balance 1.9 Notes here -->

V1.9 UPDATE

This is the final iteration of the Winter Balance Preview Mod. Further testing will be intended for any additional last minute fine tuning of the existing changes in this mod. A massive thank you goes out to the community for spending countless hours playtesting the WBP and providing pages upon pages of feedback to our community balance team. Pending final approval, the changes in this mod are targeted to be released to the live game near the end of March, 2017.

SOVIETS
Penal Battalions

We have integrated the feedback we received from the latest survey. As a result of this, Penals will now have access to a 2x PTRS upgrade as opposed to a flamethrower. This will allow Penals to perform better in a soft-AT role vs vehicles and potentially allow Penal Battalions to synergise with non-Guards builds.

Removed access to the flamethrower upgrade
Penals now gain access to a 2x PTRS upgrade
Veterancy requirement changes reverted (due to an error, veterancy requirement changes were never implemented in the WBP in the first place)

Penal PTRS Stats
The PTRS rifles Penals receive have the following differences from Guards PTRS

Accuracy lowered from 0.69/0.575/0.253 to 0.15/0.105/0.06
Has 0.33 drop-rate (as opposed to 0.1 droprate)

Dropped PTRS Behaviour

If Elite Units (e.g., Guards) pick up any PTRS (Guards/Penals) -> they get Guards PTRS version
If anything else picks up a dropped PTRS rifle -> they get Penal PTRS version

BRITISH
AEC

We are further reducing the anti-infantry output of the AEC turret MG to make it less efficient as a harassment tool vs infantry.

Incremental accuracy multiplier reduced from 1.12 to 1

BUG FIXES & QoL CHANGES

Added prioritise vehicle to Greyhound

Can no longer use Paratrooper paradrops in the enemy base sector
Vehicle blind critical (Stuart/Stug-E/OST Puma) now also disables the secondary weapon of the affected vehicle to bypass issues that arise with certain vehicles
Reversed the icons for the handbrake mode so that it shows the current state of the ability
Fixed an issue where certain types of mines (most infamously, Teller mines) would trigger too early, thus failing to cause damage on enemy targets (Fix provided by NachoCheese)
Fixed an issue where Penal satchel charge would cause less-than-the-intended damage vs buildings in certain cases
Changed the retreat point layout for Soviets, Ostheer and OKW HQs to make squads spread out more evenly (many thanks to Finndeed for pointing out the necessary adjustments)

We have also carried out a thorough recheck of the mod files to check for inconsistencies. Our scan has revealed that the following items had different values from the one intended/advertised:

Fixed an issue where the Assault grenadier throw speed improvement did not apply properly
Fixed an issue where the AEC area of effect changes did not apply properly (was still using live-version AoE)
Fixed an issue where Luchâs Vet2 new moving accuracy modifier did not apply properly (was still 40%)
Fixed an issue where the Airlanding Officer Heroic Charge ability was different from the live version
Fixed an issue where the 0.6 accuracy modifier vs retreating squads would permanently apply to the Puma, as opposed to only when firing a shot against retreating squads

Question, when it says elite units get the guard PTRS, does this include units like obers and commandos?

Question, when it says elite units get the guard PTRS, does this include units like obers and commandos?

The Full list of troops considered "Elite" by the game are:

Soviets:
- Guards
- Assault Guards
- Shock Troops

OST:
- Panzergrenadiers
- Stormtroopers

USF:
- Paratroopers (all variants)
- Rangers

OKW:
- Sturmpioneers
- Fallschirmjaegers
- Obersoldaten
- Sturmofficer (edited to add)

UKF:
- Commandos (all variants)
- Airlanding Officer

PS: Before somebody asks, AEC change means that MG DPS should go down by about 25% at all ranges, compared to v1.8.

You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

I suppose the no more Paratroopers in enemy base doesn't screw with the Victory Strike.

The paratrooper fatality should be irrelevant to the two commander abilities.

We didn't. Nachocheese did.

Nachocheese found a way to specify an alternative hitbox for an in-game entity. Thus, we gave all mines in the game the Soviet TM-35 hitbox, which always triggers like a charm.

You can do this by specifying an alternative_sua under entity_blueprint_ext in the ebps file.

By the way, you can access the mod files here:

That explains things... I guess relic coding again. Imagine how coh2 would look like if they worked in 1-2 week sprints like you do.

I sometimes doubt if relic is even as high as 2 in CMM scale...

everytime i look the patch V is higer. i have never seen so many notes before a patch is released. lets see if we can hit 4.0

1. Relic bans, not me. 2. It stands in the rules: If you are banned more often, the duration increase and can lead in the end to permaban 3. The Case is bigger as you guys think. So pls step 1 step away pls. 4. I am not a player in the 4vs4 cup, because of RL work.
