Mini Patch - Feb 15th 2019
USF
IR Pathfinders

Cost increased to 290
Now start on 50 second cooldown. General cooldown changed to 50 seconds
These changes will stop USF players being able to field two IRPF squads before LT/ CPT teching, unless they are willing to delay their tech for it. Cost of unit standardized with regular Pathfinders because of their high combat and utility power.

Airdropped Combat Group

Now available at 3CP. Mistakenly changed to 2CP during previous patch
Cost increased to 350 Manpower and 80 munitions. Was previously 325 manpower.
However, this ability was synergizing too well with the new 4CP Greyhound, allowing for an aggressive lieutenant opening, followed by an extremely cost efficient AT gun to support the Greyhound, without having to tech CPT. In light of this, the following change has been made.

AT gun component of Airdropped Combat Group replaced by Pack Howitzer drop
This will force USF players to tech CPT should they want AT Gun support for their Greyhound. Players will have to forgo an aggressive LT opening, or delay the rate at which they can produce multiple Greyhounds if deploying both officers. This should allow for a more balanced dynamic between the Greyhound and Axis Light Vehicles / counters.

Pack Howitzer

Reduced to five man squad maximum from six man squad. This applies to both airdropped and tech built Pack Howitzers.
Pack Howitzer will still decrew at 2 models (now after losing 3 men like most other support weapons)
This change was made in order to let the Pack Howitzer retain its strong offensive capabilities, while reducing its survivability a bit so it becomes easier for Axis to counter it.

OKW
Jaeger Light Infantry

Infiltration Spawn Removed

Sector Assault
This ability has received changes to make it perform more consistently and predictably, while removing its ability to obliterate entire armies in some instances.

Stuka Fragmentation Bombing run planes removed
Replaced by two Stuka Anti Tank strafing runs. The same planes as in Ostheer Stuka Close Air Support (3 attack runs).
One additional anti infantry strafe plane added.
Strafe timings adjusted accordingly
Mimi map icon size corrected

Sturmtiger

Cost reduced to 570 manpower and 165 fuel in order to offer some compensation for projectile inconsistency. Previously cost 620 manpower and 180 fuel. Change was intended, but not implemented correctly in previous patch.
Sturmtiger friendly fire now less potent.

Bugfixing

Cavalry Rifleman UI CP requirement bug resolved
Hotkeys for OKW Infiltration Grenades and Jaeger Light Infantry G43 upgrade swapped so that the Infiltration Grenades retain their original hotkey.

Note

Minor UI icon and localization text updates will be deployed in the next major patch.

Yoyo ive got a question,

Are they allowed to sign up? 3 players that have ranks of 1v1/2v2 in top 20.

Everyone can sign up. But it's not said that in the end they are allowed to play.

But the orga can change the rule before the cup begins.

You're consideraion over "Jeagar HEAVY Infantry" for what? 3 weeks? really payed off!!
30 mp + would really do the balance the game.
Oh by the way, since we nerfed OKW, we should give it some payback right?
Will buffing 221 do? IDK you tell me.

I will write it here only 1 time and will also not more discuss it.

As highfiveee said: In past it was always overbuff or over nerf.
So this time we went for small steps. Don't forget the cd on 100 sec before you can call another one it.
Did you played games already on the new version? or just saw the patchnotes and complain.

Another point is: As you can see relic is here for coh2 atm. So there will be future hotfix/ patches coming as well. It is not as it was in the past, where all 6 -12 month 1 patch appeared + you never knew if this would be the last patch or not.

And about why it take so long. It's not only for changing JLI, it was for alot of other things too.
And coding and modding is not that easy in coh2 from the engine.

P.S So 221 was op?

yeah sadly and known issue.
Most of the time it happens on this 1vs1 map. But also sometimes on oka river.

Thx for sharing!
