Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

The funny thing is that these units were hardly adjusted. The Pershing was changed the most and it was not alone in the heavy tank adjustments. The same is also true for the jagdpanzer 4. While I have not seen the replays yet, I can say it is not these units individually, unless this is interaction dating back for years.

With my mod release, I try to adjust many issues but I am not trying to push it here.

Big changes:
Vehicle abandonment. People should not be punished or rewarded for the playing the game. This is uncontrollable RNG. The same could be said for both for main gun destroyed and well as slot item drops.

I am currently recording matches with the recent tournament for my personal channel. The gameplays see like it is the same thing over and over again with minor variations. Many things and ideas can be used to spice it up.

One man snipers should be changed. This topic along could use its own thread

Ostheer's Teching could have another look at it. Battlephases should increase what is available in each structures and units upgrades rather than the current teching with extra steps. Also, grens should be in T0. Ostheer initial game is so slow and confined to a single style. Few doctrines 'fix' this issue thus reducing the pool of viable doctrines.

Brits still need a non doc mobile mortar and late game arty such as 25 pounder emplacement. The mortar emplacement is no substitute.

OKW's King Tiger is holding them back. Any adjustments to teching affects the king. Additionally, OKW does not have a dedicated anti infantry vehicle in T3. A short barrel p4 would help.


Small changes
The difference between panzerfussilers and volks. They are too alike.
Partisans could be merged to one unit
Stormtroopers
Osttruppen's accuracy buff/debuff system
Ostheer Puma should be non-doc


Doctrines that need adjustment and reworked

Anti-infantry doctrine
-Shares 3 of the same abilities with both shock-rifle frontine and terror tactices. Two abilities overlap with fear propaganda and incendiary barrage.

Soviet Shock Army
-Do I even need to explain?

Festung Support
-250 Mortar half track and Left 18 overlap

Encirclement
-As much as I like the concept. It is generally not practical. It could rework to focus on the act of encirclement rather than when you make an encirclement.

Infantry Company
-M21 mortar halftrack and M7 Priest overlap

Difference between the Easy 8 vs and the 76mm. Command Easy 8?

Bad news. I do believe the half track's 50 cal animation can only point forward, with 45 degrees each way. The pintel mount on the 'turret' can not move. You can make the gun fire when not actual pointed at the target.

Funny thing, I could have sworn it could rotate at one point. Maybe it was broken at one point.

Edit, looking at 5 year old youtube footage it appears not.

1. can’t be coded.

It can be coded, benefits are negligible.

small update

weapon crews, except UKF, now use handguns to properly convey their damage.

Arty auto fire rate of fire reduced

Ostheer's FWD retreat point uses a sire model and off center when activated.


JulianSnow suggested the Ostheer's Armor commander could work around upgrades instead of a OKW varient. I think though I might have gone overboard.
