It's very encouraging to see that the new patch brings solutions to many annoying bugs

Now, I know that you guys must be busy with the #VetGate and all.

However, here is a small list of previously-reported bugs that you could easily address in the February 25 patch. I promise you the changes that you need to make are minimal and/or you have already solved similar issues before.

1. Add a projectile to the Comet tank

2. Panzerwerfer damage multiplier vs garrisons seems unchanged (it's 100%; should be ~25%)

3. The popcap cost of the doctrinal soviet mortar (120mm) is too high @ 13 popcap (should be 10)
Show Spoiler

4. Tweak the values of the British Mortar Pit 2, so that it actually deals lethal damage when barraging

If somebody else has a bug that they wish to report, please also provide a fix/solution, and I will gladly add the bug to the list.

Guys,

Please don't jump on Cuddletronic.

When he says the issue is in our database, it means that Relic picked it up from that thread here, 1 hour before this thread was created:
https://www.coh2.org/topic/49433/pyrotechnics-supplies-vision-bug

This means that they've only recently become aware of this bug (and hopefully they will fix it soon!)

No fix for the Comet projectile either. Hmmm :3

Does the Panzerwerfer now get a correct damage modifier vs garrisons now, or will it still keep instawiping garrisons?

(Katyusha has 25% damage modifier; the Panzerwerfer currently has 100% damage modifier - i.e., no damage reduction)

Otherwise, the patch seems great.

Most ppl seem to at least think ostheer as a faction could use sandbags. I'm curious as to how gren sandbags make them OP though because if that is what keeps volks ISs and cons form being OP as well?
Thoughts?

OKW, as a faction, has weak infantry and no reliable suppression platform (until the doctrinal mg34 hits vet2-3).

UKF has the 2nd worst MG in the game (after 50cal) in terms of dealing suppression (it's all about the Veterancy)

At the same time, Tommies are, and by far, outclassed by Grenadiers in terms of utility.
- Tommies don't have a snare
- Tommies receive a penalty at Vet3 which prevents them from using upgraded weapons
- Tommies have 75% accuracy penalty they get on the move (Grenadiers have 50%; that means they are double as effective on assault)
- Tommy grenade is not useful as useful as a riflenade (because of the Tinny moving accuracy, and the fact that they deal very poor DPS at short-range; as opposed to Grenadiers)
- UKF also has no reliable indirect fire to uncamp OST players

However, this is not about OST vs UKF. This is more about OST vs Soviets.
- Currently the Soviet player could rely on Mortars to break through
- By giving spammable green cover to anything, in what way can a soviet player break-through? (green cover gives 50% reduction to all explosive damage)
- If conscript spam is supposed to provide the breakthrough, why is it so unpopular?

Giving green cover to pioneers is questionable. However, it will at least reduce the spammability aspect.

PS: As I already mentioned before, OST really only needs the green cover vs USF. Instead of breaking the 2 other matchups, should we perhaps try to fix the one problematic matchup instead?
