----------------------------- ostheer FACTION SPECIFICS: WEHRMACHT ostheer -----------------------------

Wehrmacht is now the powerful faction it was in CoH1. More snowball veterancy, less weak-ass insta-wipe infantry.

• Führer Frei: Extra commander, to make up for axis only having 2 factions.
• Capitalist Veterancy: Just like in CoH1, veterancy levels are now one-time purchases, applying to all current and future units of the given category.
• No Crews: Squads can now get svt rifles as an upgrade. Penals are equipped with mosin nagants as default.
• Special Squad Members: Volks and Grenadiers can now gain a special squad member, adding a little extra customizable flavor to ze reich.
• Knight’s Cross: The german terminators are back in black to give the middle finger to one-shotting snipers.
• Bonkers: The bunkers from CoH1 are back, with the exception of the medic bunker. That one only heals units, not sending medics out to pick up the wounded.
• Tank Kit: German tanks can get a variety of upgrades, such as smoke canisters and upgraded gun barrels.
• V1 Stuka: The stuka dive bomber strike has greater area of effect, more in line with the V1 in CoH 1.

-------------------------------- ukf FACTION SPECIFICS: BRITISH ukf --------------------------------

Keep calm and don’t change! Outside of redone commanders, squad sizes and other stuff that also apply to the other factions, the brits remain almost the same.

• Tomboys: All british squads except Commandos are classified as heavy, to keep the trait of the brits having heavy-duty infantry.

• Bofor Bliss: Bofors has less weapon damage to reduce insta-wipes.

• Redone Hammer/Anvil: The hammer and anvil upgrades grant different stuff now.

This is a hopefully-complete list of features that make up the Make CoH Great Again mod. It will not necessarily detail tiny tweaks, e.g. damage balances of weapons, unless the tweaks are significant. This list will be updated as features are added, and if i forgot to put something in.

----------------------------- allies allies allies GLOBAL FEATURES axis axis axis -----------------------------

• Consistent Stats: Weapon stats (e.g. damage and accuracy) are no longer different, based on which unit or vehicle is using it. The final damage OUTPUT might differ (e.g. individual squad accuracy), but not the damage of the weapons themselves, for instance. One result of this is that pioneers with Mp40s can actually be useful in short range combat now.
• Consistent Vet: Most units in a faction have the same kind of veterancy bonuses, with exceptions where it makes sense.
• Class Warfare: Units are now categorized by class and skill. A light class unit has less hitpoints, but higher capping- and movement speed and vice versa. A light unit like Volks has low skill, giving it penalities in combat, whereas a commando squad is highly skilled and gets bonuses.
• Supersized Squads: Almost all squads have increased squad sizes, to lessen the amount of squad wipes.
• Sniper Buff: Snipers have more HP and a higher rate of fire, so they're not completely useless.
• CoH1 Camo: The camouflage system is now like CoH1, in that the camouflage toggle is back (except for commandos). Camouflaged units can therefore be invisible out of cover as well. The CoH2 system made countersniping and just managing snipers in general, too micro-intensive.
• No Demo Camo: Demolition charges are no longer camouflaged.
• Ability-Less Vet: When gaining levels in CoH2, units get an ability at lvl 1 instead of a stat boost. This makes them feel weak, and so, said abilities are now always available, and units get a passive bonus at lvl 1.
• Bunker Upgrades: Most bunkers now skip the MG upgrade step to reduce micromanagement. These also cost fuel now rather than munitions.
• Basic Func. (Bunkers): All factions can build some form of anti-infantry emplacement, and most emplacements have increased hit points.
• Basic Func. (HMGs): All factions now have an HMG unit.
• Basic Func. (Snipers): All factions now have a sniper unit.
• Basic Func. (Crews): All factions now have vehicle crews that work exactly like the USF version.
• Basic Func. (Engineering): Each faction’s engineer units have the similar features, like field defenses, sandbags etc. Also, wire cutters don’t require upgrades anymore.
• Catapult Seats: Crews in open-top vehicles have a chance to survive being destroyed.
• Slower Repair: All units with a repair ability (except for repair station mechanics), now do so at reduced speed. This is to compensate for increased squad sizes and the influx of vehicle crews.
• Combat Wrench: Units repairing or building while under fire don’t have increased received accuracy, but instead perform said task slower.
• No Window Blinds: Snipers no longer gain an accuracy penalty when sniping targets in any type of cover, e.g. buildings, emplacement or regular cover.
• Steel Integrity: All neutral buildings now require all of their sections to be destroyed, before said building will collapse.
• FHQ FTW: Forward HQs from CoH1 are back for all factions, and besides reinforcing, they can produce the given faction’s standard infantry squad. They can be decapped in 30 sec, though there is no progress bar to display this, so it looks like the decapping squad is doing nothing.
• Very Friendly Fire: All units take 100% friendly fire now.
• Burn, Baby, Burn: All flame weapons burn longer and are more deadly now.
• No Counter-Bees: Counter-barrage functionality resulted in some boring automation that didn’t make the game more fun, and so I have removed it for all units of all factions.
• Boom Blaster: Panzerschrecks, Bazookas etc. are more effective against infantry, in style with CoH1 where rockets could actually kill soldiers they hit. This never happens in CoH2.
• Slow LMG: To underscore the LMG’s role as a stationary weapon, and to reduce its damage output, I have increased the aim time of all LMGs.
• Call Inn: Call-in units only cost manpower now. To compensate, buildable vehicles cost less manpower.
• Pricey Limits: Due to vehicle crews and editor limitations, limits on call-in vehicles are no more. Instead, certain vehicles become more expensive the more of them you have, and vice versa. The price only goes down if the vehicle is destroyed while it’s manned by your crew.
• Buff Halftracks: All halftracks have increased hitpoints, to reduce insta-wipes from facing a double-AT-gun tactic.
• Halftrack Multitasking: All halftracks with a weapon upgrade can still reinforce squads.
• No Tank Left Behind: Vehicles can no longer be abandoned as result of a critical hit.
• Double Pop: Population cap has been doubled, to compensate for increased squad sizes.
• High Stakes: Fuel- and Munitions points provide more of their dedicated resources. Regular points provide less of each.
• OP Everywhere: Observation Posts can be built on all types of resource points.
• No Snare Snipes: All AT snares except the panzerfaust, must be in range of their target to use the ability.
• Suppression Adjustment: Adjusted MG suppression values. Medium MGs inflict more suppression on nearby squads, but heavy MGs inflict more suppression on their target.
• Turbo Pivot: All HMGs that suppress now have a much faster turn rate, allowing for better results if microed correctly.
• Green Immunity: All units in green cover are much more resistant to suppression.

So this is to take the good from coh1 and put it into coh2, with changes made for the different factions and what-not? I remember there being a CoH1 mod that was abandoned awhile back.

I looked at the video and saw some things that, to the best of my memory, were not present in CoH1. Mainly the huge squad sizes, which tell me that this is more of a overhaul than a port.

Taking the good stuff was only a part of the mod, but it was the most important of the tenants that i wanted to implement. You will also see that the commanders from CoH 1 are in fact not all exact replicas. Some have been tweaked for various reasons.

Pretty funny how the return of sniper cancer is called "removing coh2 design flaws" But that only matters in automatch so it doesn't make the mod any worse of course.

Hehe well that's just it, it's not the same dynamic as in CoH 1. There were several reasons why snipers back then were that good. The camouflage toggle was one, but squad size was a big one, which is why snipers don't have the same efficiency in this mod, especially against the soviets with their huge squads. But now snipers actually feel nice to use again, and it's made counter-sniping easier too, as the dependency on cover could be quite micro-intensive when moving around.
