Thread: STOM (Soviet Tech Overhaul Minimod) Public Announcement15 Apr 2015, 18:10 PM Rather sizable update today: - Stuart now has 400 health. - PPSh upgrade is now available to Penals as well (a stronger variant) and it is no longer doctrinal; get T3 and/or T4 and you get access to it. - ZiS-6 Cargo Truck replaces the PPSh upgrade, it is virtually identical to the Opel Blitz Supply Truck. - Irregulars are replaced with ISU-152 at CP12. That should make Reserve Army a far more enticing choic. - Command Panther now gains shared veterancy from fellow OKW vehicles. - Assault Engineers gain a 5th man at Vet 2, and they gain 3 Thompsons at vet 3. - Both Forward HQs now come in at 2 CP and can only be used at friendly territory, but the building gains an additional 2500 health. This does not affect flame based weapons in their fire starting mechanic, so that is still perfectly valid. The cooldown is drastically increased to 5 minutes. - M-42 Light AT Gun is replaced with ML-20 152mm Howitzer. - Hit the Dirt is now usable by Penal and Guards Infantry as well. - Rapid Conscription allows replacement of up to 3 squads now. - KV-2 abandon chance is removed.

It's adding a secondary requirement, but that doesn't make LMGs or Rifle Nades more expensive in their arrival than before. In: Lobby
Thread: Ask the Strategist!14 Apr 2015, 10:58 AM Off the top of my head I believe it is 1.5x Damage, Accuracy, and 2x Penetration. But don't quote me on that yet, I don't have access to the mod tools right now. I am pretty sure of the 1.5x damage bit though. Sorry if I wasn't supposed to answer that but it really felt more like a game files related question. Anyway, I came here to ask my own. How do you get the best out of mines? A lot of the time I simply forget about them; when I don't they rarely ever actually trigger on something valuable. I know they have massive potential like snaring a backpedalling Panther or completely de-tracking an IS-2 (Riegel Mines) making it dead for all intents and purposes, but I just don't seem to be able to get much out of them. Follow up question: What's wrong with Riegel Mines? The Halftrack is great for field reinforcements and it is a very mobile mine planter, while the mine itself is at Teller-cost but having an AT gun when it goes off equals a dead tank, all for just 50 muni. So why don't people use them? I haven't seen anyone use them once, only I have used them in any of the games I've been in. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Brainstorming: An Ostheer Rework14 Apr 2015, 10:19 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Apr 2015, 06:53 AMJZuna IMO Tier 2 seems to have a reasonable price considering you unlock both LMG and Rifle nades for grens while allies have to pay individually for this. Sure but by segmenting that we can make the T2 units available earlier while locking the LMG and Rifle Grenades at a point where they should come, instead of balancing the tier for the T1-based upgrades and delaying units that would be balanced either way far too much.

Makes everything easier How exactly does one do that? They are both in the PTRS weapon file. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Brainstorming: An Ostheer Rework13 Apr 2015, 17:58 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2015, 17:43 PMLosttruppen Your idea of a t2 start would also be more viable with just a price swap from battle phases to the tier buildings. Which has massive problems of its own like making "skip-T3-just-go-T4" an even more popular option. In: Lobby
