Profile of Cruzz

Added a couple of extra weapons to the changed list:

Sturmtiger aoe distance from 2.5/5/7.5 to 2/4/6, damage far modifier from 0.3 to 0.05 (decent nerf)

Ostheer Fragmentation bombs aoe distance 3/4.5/6 to 3/6/9, mid damage from 0.15 to 0.35 (large buff)

Stuka bomb strike aoe distance from 3.75/5.625/7.5 to 3.75/7.5/11.25, mid damage from 0.15 to 0.35 (large buff)

So what did they fix from the trial ninja list?

No more OKW 5% flame crits at 100% health or flamer crits in general.

No more MP recoup from sturmpios

Grenadier riflenade change got reverted


What didn't get fixed:

Pretty much everything else.

So what else has changed this time around?


EDIT: I should note I haven't really looked at british units because I haven't played them at all so changes to them are mostly ignored, included a few that I spotted at random but there are no doubt many more changes to them.

New USF mine is 40 munitions for a soviet mine that can't do engine crit. Except they forgot to link to it so now you're paying 40 munitions for the old 5 munition usf mines still.

Explosive weapons got their damage penalties against green cover outright removed or halved depending on weapon. Green cover offers little to no protection against these weapons anymore

Non-Grenade Explosive weapons got their damage against garrisons nerfed in most cases.

Universal Carrier exp requirements doubled

Air Support Officer squad is 4 men instead of 5 now.

Soviet mortars now have manned protection

Easy 8 vet1 battle group aura check fixed to be same as on other Shermans (effectively a nerf because the first level of it was always active on ez8 previously)

Valentine main gun damage to 80 from 160, penetration to 80-120 from 105-135

Piat range from 40 to 45

Brit mine radius from 5 to 3

Centaur stats redone into an accuracy based attack with higher damage and way less aoe.


General overview of aoe changes to explosive weapons:

Buffed:
All mortars (large increases to aoe damage multipliers),
LEFH (better aoe distances),
soviet booby trap (larger aoe),
Anti-infantry grenades,
LEIG (slightly smaller aoe, more accurate and way more damage on outer part of aoe),
Ostheer Railway(way better aoe),
Stuka CAS strafe (larger aoe),
Sexton(fixed ridiculous near distance),
Pack Howitzer (more accurate, faster fire)
Stuka bomb drop (massive increase in aoe distance)
Ostheer fragmentation bombs (massive increase in aoe distance)

Neutral:
ZIS and SU76 barrage (no penalty against green cover, better penetration, but lower aoe damage on barrage),
Walking Stuka (shuffling around damage modifiers against cover)

Nerfed:
Priest, B4, Katyusha, Panzerwerfer (reduced aoe damage modifiers), Scott (reduced aoe size), Sturmtiger (aoe distance and far damage)

Completely annihilated: ML-20 (massive decreases in aoe and damage)

1600 HP for stock Churchill seems fair.
It's good only at soaking damage.

It has a better gun than KV-1, while having double the health, and 10 more armor, and more MG damage even at vet0 (and gaining more at vet1). For 5 fuel and 120mp more.

Lets not forget that vetted Sturmtiger has over 1400 (IIRC).

Yes the Sturmtiger is a bullshit unit that needs a nerf too, but even with the vet2 buff it still has 38 less armor and 160 less health than the vet0 Churchill.

Units for 200fuel are deadly in CoH2. Churchill isnt. So Id say keep 1600 for stock one, or lower to 1280 but also with price decrease.

150 fuel isn't 200. Churchill is priced like a medium fuel wise despite having the highest raw survivability of any vehicle in the game.

So overall it's more consistent, but also less damaging?

Forgot the Ostheer hull one had double ROF compared to the other MGs. So rather than being +20% in short range it's more like -20% in short combined, but still around 100% extra at max range.

On a completely different note, due to a new unfinished OKW commander ability (Recoup Losses), Sturmpioneers are now giving the OKW player 30MP every(?) time a model from them dies to enemy fire. Cool scripting.

So what sneaky things has Relic been doing this time? Ordering of list is purely random.

Due to a new unfinished OKW commander ability (Recoup Losses), Sturmpioneers are now giving the OKW player 30MP every(?) time a model from them dies to enemy fire.

Leig lost its manned protection, gun can now be destroyed while manned.

Grenadiers got back their 15% squad accuracy boost and 9% received accuracy squad bonus, putting them at 82% received accuracy.

Blitz and overdrive now check for infantry vehicle snare criticals

Infiltration tactic nade recharge only when out of combat restriction removed. Munitions cost from 10 to 15.

OKW Puma Aimed Shot requires main gun.

Tank Hunters AT nade ability can now be used while pinned

Ostheer Breakthrough (Encirclement) ability from 40 to 50 fuel

Rifleman AT nade forces a reload before firing, further delaying the nade.

Tiger Ace can no longer be abandoned. The two command tanks still can.

ALL OKW Infantry now have 5% burn death crit at 100% health.

LMG42 reload time increased by 0.5 seconds

Grenadier Rifle Grenade radius from 3.5 to 2, aoe distance from 0.875/1.75/2.625 to 0.5/1/1.5

Stug G aoe distance from 0.5/0.875/1.25 to 0.1/0.2/0.25 (mostly a bug fix, stug already had an aoe radius of 0.5 so the distance values simply meant it did full damage in 0.5 radius, now it correctly has...nearly zero anti-infantry capability again)

Ostheer PIV (& command tank) MGs changed to OKW tank MGs (-20% DPS at point blank, 100% higher at max range)

King Tiger lost its invisible coaxial MG

Unbuilt tank traps no longer have any armor

Soviet sniper accuracy modifier against garrison to 0.4 (from base 2 so 80% accuracy)

Fixed 100% maingun crit through small arms and flame penetrations

Removed increased random engine damage chance for low health

Added top gunner kill crits back to a lot of vehicles

Kubel has a maingun death crit again

M15AAHT from 60 to 50 fuel

Captain supervise can't be used on allied buildings

Major artillery min max values swapped to correct min 2 max 4 instead of other way around

Captain On Me no longer buffs movement speed or gives suppression resistance, still removes suppression at start of ability.

Ostruppen get cover bonus when garrisoned

Brumbar can fire bunker buster while hull downed

Flamer crit chance below 50% health from 15% to 10%

Sturmtiger experience required increased by 25%

222 cost to 210mp/15f(230/20)

HMG34 fire rate to 14(12), burst duration to 1.625(1.5), suppression to 0.0125(0.012)

Grenades now have higher vertical traverse so can throw up hills.

DSHK38 HMG lost all buffs it got with other HMGs in previous patches but got a double nearby suppression modifier (with reduced radius)

USF Medic gun cooldown from min 0.75 max 1.5 to min 0.375 max 0.5

Fighting Position HMG improved slightly (incremental accuracy higher, nearby suppression radius higher)

Riflemen .30 cal LMG now has incremental accuracy of 1.15 and nearby suppression radius from 10 to 13

Stuart FOW accuracy fixed

Bazooka given the 15% accuracy buffs that Relic forgot to give them when removing squad accuracy bonuses.

Conscripts now use their own PTRS rather than Guard one

.50 cal now has 70 armor (up from 10). All other issues untouched.

Riflemen models in Captain and Lieutenant lost their 0.97 received accuracy, back to 1.

WC-51 cost adjusted to 240MP 20fuel, will only affect what you get out of refit because the call-in cost is different. So less manpower, more fuel for refit.

120MM mortar weapon cost up to 220, increasing initial squad cost by 60mp (but not reinforce cost).



Things in patch notes but not actually implemented:

Target tables

Flamer changes

ML-20 changes

AOE changes

New weapon type for grenades
