Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

Imo weapon rack is a false god idea adding a lot of mess into balance. See how is it problematic to balance with RE being able to equip powerful LMGs

As I stated, needs a bit of balancing but you can make different version for units pick up so the Rear Echelon will not get a huge power spike. The UKF Brens are good example of this. Royal Engineers, Infantry Sections, and Commandos all pick up different variations.

New Update

With the Recent talk about Lend Lease and other assortments, the patch is more focused on it.

Additionally, the MAIN WORKSHOP LINK HAS BE CHANGED.

Soviets

Munitions to Fuel Airdrop changed
Affects Soviet industry and

-Now a Zis 6 (US6) Supply truck
-200 manpower
-Has the same abilities as the Ostheer's Opel Blitz.
-Able to be upgrade to a Katyusha for 200 manpower 50 fuel, but requires t4 to be built

Assault Guards
-4, PPshs removed
-Able to upgrade to 4 Thompsons
-or able to upgrade to two bazookas

This will help with the theme of using allied equipment

M4C Shermans

-Like T34/85s now they must be built in T4

Shocks
To make doctrines with shocks more adaptable, shocks are gaining an upgrade to turn the PPSHs into Svt 40 rifles
-uses slot inventory
-increases ranged damage but reduces short range damage.
-75 munitions

Guards
-Guards no longer come with PTRS upgrade
-Guards can either upgrade to PTRS or DP 28s, not both
-Guards PTRS upgrade now adds 3 PTRS instead of 2
This will allow Guards to either specialized into anti infantry or anti tank and not be a mix of both.


Ostheer

Munition/Fuel drop
-Now an Opel blitz call in.
This will make the ability more reliable and less map dependent.

Osttruppen Reserves
-both will always come out with an LMG 42


Mobile Defense Doctrine
-Puma is now a non-doctrinal T2 vehicle that requires Battle-phase 2
This will enable a more preferably light vehicle counter to Ostheer.
-Counter attack is now Hull Down
-Puma dispatch is now a build-able 'Captured T34/76' in T3

'Captured T34/76'
-340 manpower, 100 fuel
-180 armor from the standard 150
-health is 720 from the standard 640
-Target size is 24 from the standard 22
-can be hulled down
-uses the armored skirts and hull extras animators.


Community Defensive Doctrine
-Trenches now Osttruppen Reserves (Affects Osttruppen Doctrine)
-Tank Traps are now available non-doctrinal
-Tank Traps slot is now a Repair Bay that repairs nearby buildings and vehicles.
-Pak 43 in Community Defensive Doctrine only now replaced with a buildable Panthertrum

Panthertrum
-300 manpower, 75 fuel
-8 CP
-Main gun equals to the Panther but with a reasonable AOE radius.
-Able to be garrisoned with one squad, Infantry, Sniper, or MG42.

New Update

This update is based around large AT guns

Soviets


B4
Soviets have trouble with heavily armored opponents, additionally the B4 is an RNG Machine which tends roll bad and inconsistent. The B4 also has a potentially over powered direct fire mode. I have reworked it so now it provide the heavy at role and be reliable.

-costs 500 manpower and 100 fuel
-16 population

-can no longer decrewed
-Now has a auto attack to be very effective vs vehicles.
-Auto attacks are useful vs infantry but has a generally high scatter
-range 100
-Max models is set to 3. (no full health squad wipes)
-Aoe radius is 6
-Lethal radius range is around 2
-has a prioritized vehicle fire.

Vet:1
-100 munitions
-arty barrage: 3 shots

Soviet defense tactics

Now cost 400 manpower, 100 fuel

PzB39
now uses Kasarov's design

PzB39:

UKF

17 lbs population from 20 to 16

Another way on hiding breakthrough_operations is too turn the target ability to always on.

I've been starting with USF and trying to duplicate the Soviet tier system. I created a Heavy Armor building, but don't see how to make an icon to build it.

There is an upgrade that Unlocks each tier in USF. These upgrades are in the upgrade slot and not the spawner slot.
(upgrade\aef\research\captain_dispatched_upgrade_mp, upgrade\aef\research\lieutenant_dispatched_upgrade_mp,
upgrade\aef\research\major_dispatched_upgrade_mp)

Upon upgrade for each of the buildings. It hides the upgrade by requiring itself not to be ugraded and the Spawner officer is revealed in the same slot once the upgrade is met. This may sound confusing but look at it and you may understand. The units inside each building requires the upgrade to be researched in order to be used. In order have an additional "tier" (for to call in a Jackson) You could add in another upgrade to T3 for additional items. (change the requirement for the Jackson to this new upgrade)

If you want to build a new tier structure, you will need to add it under Squad_Engineers of the Rear Echelons. If you want your base to build it, you could having a building use an ability for a spawn entity.

Note Display and "Usage and Display" in the requirements will hide it if the requirements are not met.

Also, I tried replacing the M36 in T3 with a M10 but all that happens in the mod is that the M36 disappears. What is the setting to enable new tiers to build? Also, how do I get the M10 to show up in T3? In general, what do I do to change a call-in unit to a buildable unit that is tied to a tier?

Under spawner of the building ebps, this is where you can build your units. The units must have the appropriate requirements met. This might mean, the M10 requires a certain upgrade. Naturally the M10 has requirements for campaign and doctrinal. Remove theses and add a requirement for the upgrade\aef\research\major_dispatched_upgrade_mp.
