BALANCE UPDATES
okw Oberkommando West okw
After analyzing play data from the weekend we saw an increase in early tank usage for the Oberkommando West. We are releasing a targeted change to directly reduce that usage and to bring the OKW on par with the other four factions.
Panzer IV Ausf. J Medium Tank
Fuel cost increased from 135 to 150
Panther PzKpfw V Medium Tank
Fuel cost increased from 175 to 200
Panther PzKpfw V Command Tank
Fuel cost increased from 200 to 225
Tiger B “Königstiger”
Fuel cost increased from 260 to 310
“Jagdtiger” Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B
Fuel cost increased from 245 to 280
BUG FIXES
We have adjusted the squad and entity population values of infantry. This will allow all infantry to retain their previous population value pre-patch without the use of decimal values. Previously having decimal population values would cause issues with call-in units. This is now resolved. All infantry entities will now have a population of 1 with the difference added onto their squad population extension.
