Any action that disables infantry movement will automatically cancel movement orders. Sometimes this will even make infantry unable to respond to a retreat command.

I think max_speed_modifier will work just fine.

1. Check out how the soldier_stun critical is implemented in modding tools.
2. Why not already use the soldier_stun critical as it is implemented for the stun nades?

So, Obers are stronger now?

No.

The bug meant that if you picked up an mg34 that Obers had dropped, its power would depend on the squad that would pick it up.
1. Obers would get the same version they dropped.
2. Paras, commandos, and units that like to fire their LMG on the move would get an equal-strength LMG, but would require to go prone.
3. Conscripts, Volks, Penals and other crappy, non-elite infantry would get up a beefed up version that would cause 33% more damage than the original one

The first 2 versions were/are equal in terms of DPS. It's just the aesthetics of prone/no-prone.

The increased potency of the LMG on the 3rd type of squad was obviously a bug. I am guessing this bug also helped skew people's perception about the potency of the LMG upgrade on Obers.

That's why Conscripts that managed to get their hands on an LMG34 were turned into terminators (i.e., it wasn't just their terminator veterancy). Ditto pathfinders and LMG34's.

Post-patch, all 3 LMG34 versions will have equal stats.

It happen after successful ambush and after combat ended. Take a longer time than OKW one for re-cloak.
Sometimes it won't cloak but still receive movement penalty when in camouflage mode

That's "kind of" normal, then. Every time either the gun or the crew fires from camouflage, that guy (and possibly the entire squad) enter a cooldown before they can camouflage again (even if you click the ability).

What is very possible that has happened is that sturmpioneers (the model) have longer recloak times than Volksgrenadiers. I can have a look at that, and I'll let you know if that was the case.

At the very least, I could make it so that the gun/crew only receive the movement penalty while the gun is actually camouflaged (also applies for JP4/Luchs/Soviet ambush).

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

-You've solved the problem of pop USF . But do you can decrewing vehicles with 100pop?

The main vehicles USF abuses to go over popcap are:
- Priests (14 pop)
- Jacksons (14 pop)
- M10 (10 pop)

Basically, just about anything you need to use on demand (you don't always have to fight king tigers 100% of the time). Thus, I thought 12 popcap is a decent value; not too high not too low.

You can still go over popcap with USF as follows:
- Build loads of ambulances
- Every time your popcap runs low, you decrew your vehicles and put the crews inside the ambulances

Alternatively, you can kill off the vehicle crews and go with rear echelon crews. However:
- Your vehicles suffer from -60% received experience
- You get no super-glue
- It takes longer for non-vehicle crews to dismount from vehicles than vehicle crews
- It costs a lot of MP

There is absolutely NO way to eliminate popcap abuse. However, one can make it harder to abuse.

-Ambulance, do you considered lowering pop, something like the Major. Eliminate medics and limit 1 per player?

I thought about that. However, then, somebody would be able to put their infantry in the ambulance to make that infantry (or vehicle crew!) worth 0 pop.

Instead, I gave medics 0 popcap. That way, if your popcap runs low, you can decrew your ambulance and build that last unit you wanted.

I would consider giving ambulance 0 popcap if I can make it no longer decrewable.

-The abilities than using 25pounders, are all veryyyy similars. Even when the British came Perimeter Overwath ability is rather poor because you have to go around a large extension of land with only two howitzers.

Show Spoiler

In my mod the Artillery Regiment 25-pounder barrage and the tommy 25-pounder barrage are slightly different:
- The Artillery regiment blows its entire load (4 airburst shells always + 3 pairs of howitzer shots within 20 seconds). That's meant to be used offensively.
- The tommy version takes its time. It takes about 50 seconds to deploy the entire barrage (4 airburst, if you teched + 6 pairs of howitzer shells). Then it's followed by a smoke barrage.

Perimeter overwatch is a lost cause. I am with you there. It's simply too much legwork for 2 howitzers to cover an entire front. Especially when units dart in and out constantly.

I have thought of three solutions:
1. I could turn the overwatch to an offmap, like OST sector artillery.

2. I could redesign it to only cover one territory. That territory no longer has to be painted orange.

3. Similar to above, but now it can also be targetted on enemy territory (obviously, in that case, the orange markings have to remain)

PS: If people could give me feedback on whether the Tommy flare-gun flare-grenade works flawlessly, I would be really thankful. I am planning on using the same implementation to make 25-pounders have the same scatter regardless of where they shoot.

The sturmtiger is fine, when we consider these facts;

- Allies late game medium spam.
- The hyper-veteran, omnipresent bazooka/ptrs/piats blobs.
- The omega buffed cheap tank destroyers, including the SU85.
- The long reload time.
- The long Aim Time.
- The non achievable veterancy.


If anything, I would reduce the XP requirements by 10 times and replace it with the PIV/Jagdpanza

Note that the arc of the sturmtiger is not entirely error prone. If the terrain between the sturmtiger and the target is completely flat, the shot will hit.

If the terrain has ANY kind of deformation, the shot will derp and sometimes hit short. This is similar to how several artillery-kind of calculations derp with the terrain.

AVRE will also derp in the same situation, but to a much lesser extend than the Sturmtiger.
