The purpose of this mod primarily to level out factional differences and enable alternative strategies to allow more unique a different game play from game to game.
General
Infiltration units
Now has a 10 second delay and drops a small yellow flare to allow counter play.
All grenades start on cool down.
Infantry Held AT weapons
Infantry Held AT weapons with now kill off vehicles below 1% HP to prevent vehicles from escaping with 0 HP.
Vehicles can No longer be abandoned
Snares
Snares range is normalized at 10 to allow vehicle more freely on the field
Quality of Life Change
When units are garrisoned in a vehicle, the vehicle can now cap, resulting in better queuing for mass capping.
Soviets
T0
Molotov and AT Grenade Researched combined
Conscripts
What is considered the weakest of all the standard infantry. People debate weather they should get a non doc upgrade or something else. My answer is a non-doctrinal Commissar similar to the Ostheer Artillery officer.
Commissar
-Initial Commissar has a long deploy time.
-Has a munition spend aura
-Able to establish a Forward Retreat point
-Vet:1 Forces Retreat a single squad like the OKW Officer
Combat Engineers
Combat Engineers in the live game are very weak and hold little value on combat especially without the flamethrower. Democharges are poor game designed so this mod will be removing them. In order to prevent "clown car" cheese, the flamethrower now requires an upgrade from the HQ.
-Now Equipped with PPSHs equal to Assault Grenadier's MP 40 Damage values
-Cost increased from 170 to 220
-Can no longer deploy demo charges
-Flamethrower locked behind Infantry Package Upgrade at the HQ
T1
Penals
In the current state, Penals are over performing with their timing. Their range DPS per model is about equal to a USF's Riflemen and with the New Commissar they would be over powered. I decided to make them more into a Riflemen clone to Match Performance with other factions.
-Squad size decreased from 6 to 5
-Cost Changed from 300 to 270
M3A1 Scout Car
-Health now 240 from 200
-Armor now 3.4 from 5.4
-Cost now 200/10 from 190/15
T2
Maxium
-suppression increased from 6E^-5 to 6.5E^-5
Mortar
-Scatter from auto attacks from autos from 8 to 6
-scatter from barrages from 6 to 4
Doctrinal Changes
KV-1
-MG's now match T34's
Guards
-No Longer come Equipped with PTRS
-Can be upgraded either PTRS or DP28s
With the PTRS gone the squad anti infantry damage is greatly increased allowing to be an effect anti infantry asset.
Shocks
Shocks are good at one thing. Close Range Damage, but in order to allow their doctrines to shine I added a SVT upgrade to allow them to be used at mid range on larger maps.
-Cost Changed From 390 to 360
-Can be upgraded to SVTs
Partisan Anti Tank
-Comes Equipped with no slot weapons
-Can be upgrade either PPSHs or A Panzerschreck
-Cost now 240
-their bolt action weapons are equal to Guards
-Their Target size is now .9 from 1
Partisan Anti Infantry/Booby Trap
Booby Trap first off tended to wipe squads and with other munitions big sinks that doctrine and smaller more variable munition sink is a good alternative.
-Doctrinal Abilities replaced with PMD 6 mines
-PMD 6 mines can be deployed by partisans
Forward HQ
-No longer has the Aura Ability
-Fuel Cost decreased from 60 to 30
-now a 300 second cool down and starts on cool down.
ISU 152
-HE rounds Removed
-AP rounds are now equal the Elephant
-Secure Mode Removed
-Vet 1: World Piercing Round
120mm Mortar
now only has 4 crew members from 6
Conscripts Anti Tank Grenade Assault
-Now is a skill shot
-Conscripts will each through 3 grenades
-effective vs building and infantry now
-cost increased from 30 to 50
Ml 20 Howitzer/B4
Cost Changed from 600 manpower to 400 Manpower 70 fuel
Ostheer
T0
Pioneers
With Grenadiers coming out later then other infantry pioneers are a weak substitute to build instead so they have received some buffs in order for effective fighting through out the game with needing the Flamethrower.
-Now uses the Assault Grenadier's MP 40 Damage values
-Cost increased from 200 to 220
-Flamethrower locked behind Battle Phase One
-Doctrinal Assault Pioneer upgrade available (100 Manpower) See below for details
T1
Grenadiers
-G43s and LMG 42s have been swapped
-Ambush Camouflage for Grenadiers now adds an additional G43
-Rifle Grenades now have a Trace Effect in order to be more visual to allow more proper responses
T2
222
222s then to be instant death with its auto cannon for the initial light vehicles. This lets them be seen less and less so now it comes out un-upgraded.
-Auto-cannon upgrade must now be purchased.
-Fuel cost changed from 30 to 10
Puma
With out an equal light vehicle of their own, a light vehicle killer is a good alternative.
-Now available with out a Doctrine.
T3/T4
The time and cost for researching T4 is much higher than its counter parts. The Panther and Panzerwerfer was moved to T3 but requires Battlephase 3 to be deployed
Panzerwerfer
Originally the Panzerwerfer was known for squad wipes. I have reduced the Rate of Fire so this is less likly the case.
-Suppression Removed
-Rate of Fire Decreased
Counter Barrage
-barrage salvo decreased from 12 to 4
-cool down decreased from 90 to 15
Doctrines
German Infantry
In comparison, Jaeger Infantry is camouflage while German Infantry should be focused on open combat.
-0 CP: Assault Pioneers
-0 CP: Sprint
-1 CP: Artillery Officer
-2 CP: Model 24 Stun Grenades (Assault Pioneers can use this)
-4 CP: Smoke Bombs (Airstrike)
Idea behind this is an alternate T1. Assault Grens/Pios can fill the role of standard Grens. The Officer can increase their damage, call in smoke, and later coordinate fire for Pwefers. The smoke bombs airstrike will allow a global smoke option so the player is not limited to the Officer. Assault Grens and my Assault Pio are still on the weaker side of thing but the Stun Grenade ability should help them level that out.
Blitzkrieg
Gotta go fast! This is what the doctrine to me sounds like. Historically this meant with Vehicles so this should be focused on fast and aggressive vehicles.
-0 CP: Panzer 4 F1 (Buildable Short Barrel P4s in T3)
-4 CP: Fast March
-7 CP: Tungsten Rounds (90 seconds of increased weapon penetration for all vehicles. 120 Munitions)
-9 CP: Vehicle Breakthrough
-10 CP: Command Panther (Equal to the OKW, up to 3 stars of veterancy)
Stormtroopers
-Cost Decreased from 340 to 300
-Panzerscheck Upgrade Removed
-Experimental upgrade: Flamethrower I am trying to create the Stormtrooper unit to be more unique than other Elite units. The Flamethrower costs 75 munitions and must be in supply.
G43s
Now a LMG 42 upgrade for Grens, PGrens, and Stormtroopers
Close the Pocket
Instead of trying to make it one giant "nuke," I made it so it can be used against pockets of enemies instead.
-Now a Targeted ability (requires enemy cut off sector)
-60 unit radius overwatch radius
-Launches flares to spot
-20 second delay
-Then 40 seconds of annihilating off map attacks
Sector Arty
-Similar to Close the Pocket (Friendly Territory)
-Only calls in "light arty"
-Only targets in friendly territory

Trenches/Stug E
Now a Build-able Short Barrel Panzer 4 for 300 manpower and 80 Fuel

Even with it having a fuel cost instead of the drain, I believe it would still be unfair to play against.

Sturmpioneers
Strum Pioneers rushes can be quite problematic in the live game seeing other Engineers can not compete with them in fire power. They are no longer the starting unit. With up to three different exclusive upgrades, this unit could be over taxed. The AT upgrade was moved to Obersoldaten.
- AT upgrade removed
- Flamer upgrade non doctrinally when an HQ is built.
- Volks are now the starting unit
- repair rates changed from 3 to 2
VolksGrenadier
The problem with this unit in the live game is the fact it overlaps with too many units, additionally the STG 44 upgrade was poorly implemented. I am experimenting with reducing its veternacy cost so it can scale into the late game to compete with its counter parts.
-STG upgrade Removed
-Veterancy costs reduced
-Incendiary Grenade now has a 1.2 Fuse timer
T1
LeIG

Obersoldaten

T2
SdKfz 251 "Stuka zu Fuß" Half-track
With how its creeping barrage worked, it was a sniper of well spaced weapon teams and chasing retreating squads to easily wipe squads. I have changed it, so it fire barrages in area rather than a line.
T3
Flak gun must now be upgraded to fire
Luftwaffe Ground Forces
Heavy Fortifications
-2cm Flak can now longer be decrew
(bug: health bar is a white bar underneath the Main Bar)

-Renamed to Silent Operations
-30 second duration
-Minimap Icons Removed
-Units will move at an increased pace and will be clocked for the duration
IR STGs
This weapon mostly negates cover like a flamethrower. I decide to change the upgrade to act more similar to regular STGs but still grant access to the heighten camo detection range. This should synergy well with the Silent Operation Ability
