its 100% up to relic and with Andy moving on, that leaves a whooping total of ZERO people assigned to CoH2 with technical knowledge on relic site.

Hell yeah, no more patches

There is nothing perfect about removing a unique and clutch ability to make room. Counterintuitive to the game's core concept too.

Isn’t that what you want to do to the 222’s infantry detection ability?

Terrible

Also forgot to mention, hands off the 222, infantry detection is an amazing ability and has big importance in the sniper start meta vs ukf as you need it to detect if a countersnipe is coming. Replacing with a speedboost makes the 222 and Ost weaker and more vulnerable while also taking away a lot of strategic depth from the game. Absolutely awful change.

Battlegroup HQ
In order to make it easier for OKW to back tech to medics and indirect fire, and give OKW access to support weapons (HMG and ISG) faster to increase build diversity, the Battlegroup HQ is being split into two parts.
Cost from 200mp/25fu to 50mp/5fu. Only unlocks access to medic upgrade and ISG
Motorized Support upgrade added. Cost 150mp/20fu. Unlocks Uhu and 251/17 and gives access to the FRP upgrade
Medics upgrade from 100mp/15fu to 100mp/10fu
SPHQ and Tiger II require a fully upgraded (except medics) BG HQ

This along with the price reduction on the P4 allows builds that go straight to a P4 to get it 45 fuel earlier. If you go for Ostwind you can get it 55-65 fuel earlier. Why is timing of vehicles being ignored? Noone in their right mind thinks current OKW Ostwind arrives 55-65 fuel too late to be balanced.

In my opinion of you made the BGHQ like this, you should make the medics 5 fuel and require the Mechanized HQ to be built before the Schwerer is up.

Recrewing team weapons
Due to Ostheer’s small standard squad size, they have a disadvantage in recrewing team weapons compared to other factions because if their 4 men squads lose 1 model, they can no longer recrew weapons.
Ostheer model requirement to recrew team weapons from 3 to 2

This is beyond unfair and shouldn't even be considered.

Teller Mines
Adjusting the performance and cost of Teller Mines should both increase their availability and make them less oppressive for the enemy, giving a positive net result. With these changes they will no longer instantly kill light vehicles, and will require a follow up (Panzerfaust etc.) to finish one.
Cost reduced from 50 munitions to 40 munitions
Damage from 400 to 320
Now guarantees a heavy engine damage critical on light vehicles

A change for the sake of change that fixes absolutely nothing. If your vehicle dies to a teller it's because you didn't have a sweeper nearby and deserve to lose the light vehicle.

Tiger I
Calculations show the Tiger was slightly more affected by the AOE adjustments compared to the other heavy tanks. Reinstating the veterancy scatter bonus (although in a reduced form) should compensate this.
Vet 2 now gives -10% scatter (was -20% previously)

I wonder who it was that disputed Tightrope's video on the AoE adjustments and claimed his own personal opinion was the valid one.



Rest of the changes look ok, though soviets receiving mostly nerfs and a bad adjustment to penals that accomplishes nothing is very questionable, the faction could use some help. Also no fix on T1 skip builds for Ostheer or changes to Pgrens. I don't think making changes just to satisfy the 3v3 crowd is a good direction, there are very oppressive strats in 1v1 like Ost T1 skip that are not being addressed at all. Hopefully mirage's changes are not to be ignored next patch, he has some really good changes that will improve things considerably in 1v1.
