Yeah its pretty beastly against infantry now, especially with vet.

This patch has me really stoked. At first play through it feels like a much more well rounded game. So much improved over the last patch. I'm definitely going to try and get some of my friends in on it this weekend.

Also, props on the new commanders. I think they are well designed and fit the game much better than commanders like soviet industry and elite troops. Thank you for listening, relic! Well done!

What future tanks? Abrams or russian t-90? ))) LOL

I'm guessing the priest

I would really like to see a graph of the Tank pen effective ranges similar to the small arms weapon profiles graphs that were made. This would give us an idea of what ranges each tank is most effective, and would allow people to compare them all at a glance. I imagine most of this will be obvious after playing a dozen games or so, but it would still be nice to have none the less.

As far as the patch goes I think its another step in the right direction. I still don't see the T-70 having a real role, even with the armor buff it still has pathetic hp and comes at roughly the same time as Ost T3 tanks. Perhaps the mobility buffs will give it enough spunk to be annoying in the hands of a skilled player. Again, this is all speculation and I don't want to go to far down the rabbit hole without actually playing.

The arty changes make me scratch my head though. They were already pretty divisive as a unit. You either had the doctrine to counter them, or they shelled your base into oblivion. Now they are just less effective at the latter. Still doesn't fix the underlying issue that unless you have the recon run/arty combo they are almost impossible to deal with.

If it was, we would have notes already.

Relic does maintenance every tuesday if you have yet to notice this.

It wouldn't suprise me if they released the patch this week. They are doing a reddit QA tomorrow around when they normally patch. Perhaps with the holiday they will release the notes tomorrow and the patch wednesday?
