If you haven't tried it yet Festive, you should give it a go. I'm having a really good time trying out all the changes, even just against the AI. It's revitalized the game for me in a way no other mod has even come close to doing. And I found out today that warspoils still drop even with a mod loaded

The quality of life change being able to upgrade BARs and zooks in the field makes me so happy. This needs to happen in the actual game. It's so freaking nice. The small increase in cost seems a bit arbitrary as if there's a time to upgrade weapons in the field, then the racks still provide the benefit of instantly upgrading when in base. I understand wanting to keep the racks relevant though.

So I just got done playing a few bot games to get a feel for this version of the mod, and the first thing I have to say, is that it feels really good. Playing against bots makes it pretty tough to tell how a lot of the changes have affected timings and balance but I plan on playing a bunch more games (probably mostly against bots :/ ) to give you some feed back.

First of all though, I think I found a bug; it appears as though vet5 volks lose access to panzerfausts for some reason (they had the mp-40 upgrades if that matters). The second thing that may or may not be a bug is that the Dshk HMG seems to be waaaay over preforming now. The suppression is much, much higher than any of the other hmgs. It needed some kind of buff or price reduction, but as it is in the mod, it's kind of broken.

So many of the changes felt really good to play with, but I absolutely love the DP upgrade for cons. It adds a little long range fire power but doesn't feel overwhelming at all. It's not at all like giving a gren an lmg-42 in terms of the feel of it's impact.

Guards are very good now. Hard to tell against bots, but maybe too good. The PTRS rifles are actually really scary against light vehicles and had a noticeable effect on P4s. A guard squad by itself isn't going to solo a medium tank, but the guards can actually contribute some dps which is cool. My only concern is that as they're good against all targets, spamming them might become a thing. Not sure if having Guards in T1 is a good thing. I understand the motivation for it, but T1 doesn't really have a weakness anymore.

OKW plays a lot differently; gonna need more games with it to get a better feel. First impression is that the raketten change is perfect but it's going to be tough to tell where volks stand now without playing against people. The mp-40s seem like an odd decision at first but the weapons themselves do good damage (I was surprised by how well they did against cons) and seem to be the kind of upgrade you'd only want to get a couple of to act as deterrents for aggressive play from allied infantry. My only issue with that is that it kind of over laps a little with what SPs do. Speaking of, shreks on SPs works well.

Overall, it seems like you've solved the MP float from OKW as you need to buy rakettens and probably an extra sturmpio for a sweeper or shreks. Not buying a ton of shreks also frees up munis to lay mines or get mp-40s/mg-34s but it doesn't feel like there's muni float or deficit either. Need to play a lot more games though.

I'll have a lot more feed back later as I play some more with the mod.

That many bullets into that many people should mean more dead people.

The point of HMGs in the coh franchise has never really been to kill people, it's to suppress people so that other things can more easily kill them.

Thanks a bunch! Answers everything. x

No problem and good luck!
