Im neutral on your discussion just want to ask because im not sure how mechanics works.
Dont you need to Win versus (for example) top 5 teams to gain #1? Or can you just "grind" your way up without ever playing versus decent enemies?

In all the various games we've played in 3vs3 and 4vs4 as NS so far, the highest ranked AT opponent we got was rank 47. We're ranked rank between #6 and #12 now after 10-ish games in all the modes we played.

This is also one of the big issues of playing as Axis. I feel that playing Axis in teamgames with the new allied cheese requires a bit of a different take than 1vs1 does, but there's no way you can practice because you're basically just stomping noobs 19 times out of 20 in automatch.

And yes you can get rank 1 without facing anyone good in teamgames because the matchmaking doesn't work well in these large game sizes, people don't play AT that much so the ELO differences aren't too high and the game rewards stomping people who never have a chance against you way too much in terms of ELO.

Where do I find the commando ambush bonus in the attribute editor? I would like to modify the values a bit so that I can better observe the extent of its uselessness.

I've already found commandos_assassinate and commandos_infiltrate (or something like that), but I haven't seen anything that looks like an 1.5 accuracy modifier

commando_mp in ebps:
camouflage_ext, first_strike_actions

Updated the bulletin section a bit.

Bulletins

Stack.

Well, except for these:
soviet\medium-tanks\t34_85_armor
west_german\artillery\ig18_ability_recharge
west_german\light-vehicles\ostwind_armor
german\assault_gun\stug_e_armor
medium_tank\officer_tank (armor bulletin for sherman/okw panther, WILL stack on Panther but will NOT stack on Sherman)
NEW: brits_units\light_vehicles\m3\m3_armor

Team Weapons and Bulletins

Models used to recrew team weapons will still gain bulletin effects that have entity targets, which is most of them. So using grenadiers to recrew a maxim, your new maxim squad will have grenadier bulletin effects on them (these will not improve the machine gun itself because the team weapon is its own entity, only the groupies).

The default recruit/officer/veteran training bulletins for HMGs and ATGuns will function on all captured team weapons of the same type. So if you have a 4% penetration bulletins equipped for atguns as ostheer, an allied (or raketenwerfer, doesn't matter) atgun you steal will also have +4% penetration.

Some Ostheer bulletins affect multiple different units:

Note: This is an Ostheer only thing. Other factions have their bulletins targeted properly.

Note2: this is generally a one way effect. Assgrenadiers are grenadiers, but grenadiers are not assgrens. Specialist unit bulletins will generally not work with the base unit, its only base unit bulletins working on the specialist version.

Grenadiers & Assault Grenadiers & Assault Officer (entity type: grenadiers)
&& Ostruppen (entity type: conscripts)
Infantry Recruit Training (Grenadier & conscript accuracy)
Infantry Officer training (Grenadier & conscript reload)
Infantry veteran training (Grenadier & conscript cooldown+reload)

Ostruppen aren't grenadiers, but they are typed as conscripts so they get the soviet side of the bulletin applied to them. Relic pls.

Grenadiers & Assault Grenadiers & Assault Officer (entity type: grenadiers)
Grenadier cooldown

Tiger Ace and Tiger: (entity type: tiger)
Tiger penetration
Tiger armor
Tiger sight & turret rotation

PZIV command tank and PZIV: (entity type: panzer)
PZIV armor
PZIV Rotation speed
PZIV Reload speed
PZIV penetration

Stug G and Stug E and Elefant (entity type: stug)
The 3 recruit/veteran/officer training bulletins for su-76 and stug
Stug G Mobility
Stug E rate of fire (the one exception to the specialist bulletin thing)
Stug G penetration

Panzer Grenadiers & Stormtroopers (entity type: panzer_grenadier)
Panzer Grenadier Accuracy
Panzer Grenadier Received Accuracy

Well ok, USF has something similar though very minor

The 4 riflemen in a lieutenant squad , and 2 guys in a Captain squad are infact AEF_riflemen so they will get benefit from riflemen bulletins
2 guys in captain and major squads are REs for that sweet +1% accuracy bulletin too.

First of all: snipers do have 2.0 accuracy ("200%"). They do have different modifiers against cover and i'm not sure about the values against retreating squads. It used to be that sniper might miss squads with high values of RA.

Retreating squads get *0.4 received accuracy, and all 3 sniper squads have an additional *0.6 multiplier against retreating targets, leaving them at 2*0.6*0.4 = 0.48*whatever received accuracy the retreating squad has.

And then there's the ostheer sniper lolshot with its 1000% accuracy.

just to be clear: you were targeting the point itself?

I was targeting where the cursor is in the image, on the white border of the sector capture area more or less closest to where my suxton was. Barrage should've been centered according to the targeting circle shown, but obviously wasn't, which made me realize how wrong I was about offset.
