Profile of Carlos Danger

That's a huge buff though. Whilst Soldier armor is much superior vs mg type weapons, it's not that much better vs standard weapons. Not to mention the most standard weapon the Garand: 0.75x accuracy bonus opposed to infantry.

Quick math learns: 55(Old PG HP) / 0.75 (Soldier armor) = 73.3333 effective HP.

Yeah, but I've got them using Volksgrenadier K98Ks, so a basic Panzer Grenadier squad's damage output is actually lower than a Volksgrenadier squad right now. Anyways, from the testing I've done, they beat Rifles at range and lose close-up. That's, IMO, fine.

Vehicles being vulnerable to small arms is probably unfixable. If you make them invulnerable or basically invulnerable to small-arms, they have to arrive later. Which means that Panzer Grenadier spam is the only viable early-game tactic for the Panzer Elite.

Doctrine changes I've actually made at this point:

- Tank awareness got replaced with AT Grenades.
- APCR rounds is now an active ability for the Jagdpanther, Panther, Marder, and Hetzer (identical to AP rounds for the US 57mm)
- Hetzer call-in got reduced to 500MP from 600MP
- Double-AT Efforts got replaced with the Henschel tankbuster call-in.
- Booby trap building got replaced with Incendiary munitions, which enables Incendiary Grenades for Panzer Grenadiers and the Incendiary Barrage for the Mortar Halftrack (and, in the future, the Panzerwerfer).

To fix this issue, all you need to do is to modify the hitpoints from pgrens and tweak the reinforcing costs.

I, uh, did that? Panzer Grenadiers have 80HP, infantry armour, and cost 40MP to reinforce.

2) blobbing bonuses

Fixed. Zeal and shared vet are gone.

3) weakness to early tanks/light vehicles

ATHT got buffed and moved to T1. Panzershrecks are still there. Marders are cheaper than they were before.

Pantherspam in teamgames/getting heavy tanks without limit for manpower only

Panthers now cost 600MP and 110 Fuel?

5) No real anti-blob weapons apart from sector arty/Hummel (so limited to 1 doc

I added non-doctrinal Panzerwerfer. Flakpanzer is pretty good vs. blobs too because of its firing range in lockdown. I considered adding a suppression ability to the Scout/Armoured Car but opted against it thing as that unit's pretty strong anyways.

broken vet system (defensive vet always better than offensive vet, especially for vehicles)

I nerfed vehicle defensive vet. No longer gives speed bonuses. Not totally fixed, but a start.

7) Ketten OP with hidden detection, fast movement and sdkfz22x armourtype.

Ketten can't go invisible any longer. I'll change the armourtype next release.

Not trying to be rude here, but did you even play my mod before calling it lackluster? Telling me that I should change the armour type of Panzer Grenadiers when I've already done that seems to suggest that you didn't.

You should finish it before releasing it to public. Gj on the effort, but it really feels lackluster when playing.

How so? Lack of content?

bether make a new faction and not remove some and mix the faction

say me what pe is doing againts snipers ???? no ac.
u give them pe a sniper for countersnipe?
i have seen no hummel...
sorry but it hurts
maybe play self a few pe games then u see that pe is not op

Scout Car can be upgraded to Armoured Car. So Armoured Car's not really gone. I wanted to replace the Hummel with the Grille, which is very similar, for aesthetic reasons (more Panzer 38(t)-based vehicles). Also, the Panzerwerfer provides non-doctrinal artillery.

I've played loads of Panzer Elite. I know how the faction works.

Well if all the changes you made to PE are not considered a complete overhaul, I am curios what falls under that category by your standards, because reading through these changes, this is a complete overhaul.

In my limited playing experience, despite the enormous number of changes I made to the faction, the Panzer Elite still feel like the Panzer Elite from the vanilla game. They're still a fast, aggressive army built around vehicles.

In contrast, I feel an overhaul of the British faction would, by necessity, involve eliminating the truck system and their penchant for static emplacements. Replacing those two systems with alternatives would involve a tremendous amount of work and would change the fundamental nature of the faction.

Anyways, I approached my Panzer Elite redesign with a couple of objectives. For example:

- Make blobbing less effective (that's why Group Zeal and shared vet are gone)
- Remove contentious BS abilities (that's why Treadbreaker's gone)
- Make the faction more mobile (that's why healing duties are primarily performed by Infantry Halftracks now)
- Eliminate somewhat gimmicky strategies like Armored Car rushes and make the faction tech more fluidly


The other concern that came up was that I removed too many units/upgrades. I also thought this was going to be a problem when I made the changes, but I didn't really notice it playing the game. The Munitions Halftrack and Vampire Halftrack, which got removed, are both non-combat units. The Panzer IV is gone but the Hotchkiss is still there. The Armoured Car is only gone on paper. On the other hand, I added a Panzerwerfer halftrack, which has obvious combat value, and a halftrack that can secure points.
