Small Arms Weapon Profiles
Focus on better aligning infantry small arms within our health/damage system. This reduces the amount of overkill and better enables us to control how small arms functions within the game. Generally speaking, each weapon will have the same DPS as it did prior to the change. However, the LMG42 did see a reduction to its theoretical DPS output as well as its long range DPS output to compensate for its incremental value over time.

Units and Abilities
The KV-8 has seen its damage profile adjusted such that it no longer front loads the majority of its damage over a 10 second period. This will result in more of a reaction period for players under fire. The overall DPS of the KV-8 was also reduced from 18 to 15 damage per second. Other abilities have had their cost adjusted to better reflect their value in game.
Mortar Half-track Incendiary Barrage
• Cost from 30 to 45 ammunition
KV-8
• Damage from 40 to 27
• Ready aim time from 1.5s to 0.75s
• Reload form 5s to 3s
ZIS AT Gun
• Corrected an error in previous patch; shots fired from barrage ability set back to 6.
222 Armored Scout Car
• Corrected an error in previous patch; cost set back to 80 MP and 25 FU.
Assault Grenadiers
• Assault Grenadier dispatch cost from 200 MP and 50 MU to 320 MP
Ostruppen
• Ostruppen now capture territory at half their current rate
Target Size and Accuracy
These changes are meant to work with the AT gun adjustments to reduce the overall variance in weapon damage output vs. lower tier vehicles. AT guns should feel far more reliable as a result.
222 Scout Car
• Target size from 20 to 18
StuG III
• Target size from 14 to 20
M3A1 Scout Car
• Target size from 20 to 18
T-70
• Target size from 14 to 18
AT Guns
• Accuracy far from 0.025 to 0.03
• Accuracy near from 0.05 to 0.055
Bug Fixes
• T34 can no longer activate ram if its engine is overheated
• ZIS and M-42 AT gun now properly received the 50% discount on reinforcement actions

What does this mean in real terms?

What does this mean in real terms?
this means that AT guns are more likely to hit. Combined with the size changes of vehicles this means AT guns will hit a lot more often.
chance to hit = vehicle size * gun accuracy
So to hit a Stug (size = 20) from far range (60 m, accuracy far = 0.03) the chance is now 60% whereas before it was 35% (not accounting for scatter).

There are changes to almost all units which leads me to believe that Relic either DIDN'T know what they were doing and massively screwed the gameplay up and this is an admittance of guilt or Relic DOESN'T know what they are doing and is just out to make sweeping changes across the board and hope for the best.

Thanks this clarifies things a bit, but the only vehicle to increase in size is the stug. All other vehicles had a reduction or were not changed. Aside from the small overall accuracy improvement I don't see much change?

For shooting unchanged vehicles, this is an increase of "only" 20% at max range and 10% at short range (where they should now hit 100% pretty much anything).(note: Not chance to hit +20% but rather *1.2).

The only thing that really stands out for me is the Stug nerf. It reverses an earlier patch that buffed the stug by changing its target size from 20 to 14.
Otherwise, I love this patch!
I have the same opinion. Can't really understand the changing. Seems to make the Stug useless again, but maybe only if a AT Gun is on the field.

So when is this patch going live?
Probably tomorrow.

With the exception of the lmg, this still applies.

And the G43.

I'm skeptical (as usual).
There are changes to almost all units which leads me to believe that Relic either DIDN'T know what they were doing and massively screwed the gameplay up and this is an admittance of guilt or Relic DOESN'T know what they are doing and is just out to make sweeping changes across the board and hope for the best.
before talking down on relic maybe you should make sure you understand what youre talking about first. 21 of the weapons that were changed had no significant effect. its just continuing the pattern of changing small arms damage to reduce overkill. the actual dps remains unchanged. so relic does know what theyre doing and they didnt make any massive changes in this patch.

Small nerf on the LMG which the community has asked for...
Made a few seemingly useless weapons a little more useful (G43 I haven't seen in a long time, nor have I ever used it)
AT GUN BUFF!!! YES!!!!!!! More community support
KV-8 nerf!!!! YES!! More community support..
The Assgren change is perfect in my opinion!
Ostruppen change wasn't exactly what I was looking for. No cooldown increase or price increase. So we will still see ostruppen spam, but I haven't seen it as a terrible problem yet so. We shall see...
Thanks for listening to the community RELIC. Now I will go and buy the commanders
