Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

New Update

I like generally like your ideas, especially for USF, so I took a quick look at some of the changes in CheatMod. That's the list of Bugs, Inconsistencies I found:

USF:
IR Marksmen:
-Their ability range is too high
-Then ordered to attack (right click and attack move) something they move close in, so what the guy with the carbine can shoot, completely negating the long range

Ability range is now 40 from 60
Fixed the issue with the attack order

Greyhound:
-The IR Sweep ability is available at vet 0

Fixed

I like generally like your ideas, especially for USF, so I took a quick look at some of the changes in CheatMod. That's the list of Bugs, Inconsistencies I found:

USF:
-Pack Howie for 100 mun is too cheap, for the power it has

Now 125

WC51:
-Wrong Icon then upgraded with 50cal (it shows mg42) same thing with Sherman
-A firing arc is shown then clicking on the vehicle, but there is no suppression -> confusing

That is the actual icon for the Sherman MG.
Firing arc display is removed.

Sherman:
-105 upgrade has Icon of arty barrage
-sherman keeps it mobility even then upgraded to a bulldozer
- you can invest now 260mun in a single tank -> change some upgrade cost to fuel
-wrong voice line then upgrading (always says "mount that 50")

I do not know what else to describe the upgrade for the 105. Currently I am using in game assets.
Bulldozer upgrade reduces the acceleration by 30% now
Bulldozer upgrade now costs 100 man power and 40 fuel.
Removed the voice lines for the dozer upgrade and 105

Soviet:
Shock Army:
-Revolver has no shooting animation and flows behind the back
-Red Banner T34 are way too cheap for what they offer also wrong call in icon

Fixed the revolver animation.
Red banner call in now costs 700 man, 260 fuel from 600, 200.

Banner T34 are way too cheap for what they offer also wrong call in icon

Ostheer:
250 Halftrack:
-Wrong voice line then call on to the field (announcer always says something about mortar halftrack)
-even then not upgraded the mortar is still in it
-then upgraded the mortar has no crew, so it fires on its own
-then upgraded to mortar halftrack wrong icon

-call in voice line is now the assault group line.
-no more mortar upgrade, now mortars built/captured can be garrison and use barrages.

Well,the ability is called "churchill_crocodile"(Deploy a Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank.)

not "pepper_pot" (Heavy supporting artillery will fire at the target location.) I'm afraid.


2-I have no idea how to change the ability.Could you show me an example?


3-I trier to add these requirements,but nothing changed:

"required_contained_squad_type"
"squad_type": is2 (need a IS2 squad to active the ability?)


"required_race"
race: soviet (this ability is not of soviet's ability)


"required_population"


"required_structure"
"structure_name": refugee_female_mp (must have sovet refugee_female to active the ability?)

I'm not sure if they are unobtainable requirements.


4-I tried "display" , "usage" and "usage_and_display" on the same ability,but I don't see any change.What's the difference between them,may I ask?

Oops sorry about that, I was thinking another ability that had a really strange name. The ability is actually called breakthrough_operations

Coh1: (German) Rain... Open top tank... Fucking great engineering.

Coh2 Panzergrens/Urban A Flamenwufter is a good weapon, but I still prefer a rifle or a Knnnniffffeee.

Coh2 Theater of War: *German unit finds an un-crewed M3 scout car and takes it* Soviet officer: Hey that's my car.
