Profile of Cruzz

I approve all the changes, though I think you're missing the change you wanted for Penals Cruzz.

I might not necessarily agree with the current role penals have in the game, but they're being used and to decent effect so they don't really have a place here in my little corner of gimps and ubermensch.

M42 45mm AT gun: increase damage to 100 (from 80), increase penetration to 130/95/60 (from 100/80/60).
I just wonder how much damage it could deal to medium tank with this change. Considering that it has a faster Rof.

Quite a lot, but you have to note that the penetration increase is heavily balanced towards the point blank range, so they'd not really do that much from farther away to PIVs except when firing in the rear. And I do think that these niche units should overperform a bit just to give a reason to use the commanders.

BTW, this hp increase would save it from light artillery or bombing strike? I see you directly reduce the stuka damage to barely let it live.

The light artillery is purely random scatter with 90 damage per hit so it would take 7 direct hits on the artillery piece which probably isn't going to happen. Bombing run I believe is 300 on a full hit, not sure if it's possible to receive damage from more than 2 bombs aoe size wise with a howitzer or not (my guess is that it should be safe, but the actual hitbox of the howitzer might be larger than I believe), pak43 would probably get oneshot by it still because it's just too damn large. Not much you can do about this though because I don't think bombing run damage should be reduced by 50% just for this and increasing pak43 health to over 900 seems rather silly too. Railway clearing weapons would be purely based on luck, as you need one straight hit and one glancing one to kill.

You haven´t mention any changes.

Right, seems I've accidentally removed the line at some point while editing. Go me.

NKVD: replace IL2 with commisar.

While it would be nice, I seriously doubt they'd create new abilities or even adapt singleplayer ones for these old commanders.

Defensive: what about just giving a straight x1.5 health to all defensive structures (bunkers, tank traps, trenches).

We finally got reasonable counters to bunker spam that would kinda die off again, and one side doesn't even have a defensive structure that would need health except for tank traps while other one has two (bunkers & trenches), bit too unfair to the soviet version.

Don't bore me please without knowing shit. Just read the Strummingbird's tables with ranges and we'll talk afterwards, o...k...?

The german infantry doctrine could use some changes, but RI should stay in it. If it became just another G43 doctrine I wouldn't use it over the other

But it would be the only G43 doctrine with muni transfer and officer. Both which play really well into G43s if you ask me. The only "unique" feature to the doctrine right now is fast moving osttruppen to faust stuff while having an officer. Hardly a niche that makes for a viable commander.

I also think fear propaganda artillery is fine as it is.

Out of interest...why? I mean the way I see it, it's literally a really weak incendiary barrage for slightly cheaper. It has much smaller area, it arrives slower, and it's not guaranteed to do anything.

I am concerned about giving Blitzkrieg Tactics a 30% movement speed buff.

Like I said, this is in fact a flat value. As in a PIV would be 6.3+0.3 speed, and a Tiger 4.7+0.3. A pretty minor increase, but as roads have pretty high effects on max speed now I don't want to add in any huge values.

I like all of these ideas. The only thing I would add is some kind of change to AOE, or perhaps a damage reduction from armor rounds across the board (with an HP reduction in vehicles to keep the ratios the same). Infantry is too squishy right now, fresh full health Gren squads are getting 1-shotted by mines, and everybody already knows how I feel about the ISU.

I agree, but this was mostly a list of outliers that I feel should be changed. The current tank AOE thing is very much an issue with every single unit, some of them (like the Tiger, which I had listed because I think it's overperforming compared to previous patches even among this silly AOE madness) just worse than others.

I did have a soviet mine damage reduction in there, though purely as a damage drop-off modifier. But atleast it would stop normally spread out squads from getting wiped like what is happening right now.

Excellent changes, but what do you mean with teh crew logic of the maxim? I think they just stick to whatever cover is the closest.
Can I ask what is your opinion on the T-70 now?

Right now, if you try command the maxim to setup into cover, all the guys will run over there and manhug each other in a cuddly ball just waiting for a riflenade. Maxim will also quite often clump up like this even in a completely open field, requiring several attempts to set it up before you get a nice spread on the members. The soviet MG42 team largely deploys in a cone with gunner in front and the rest quite far back, limiting the effectiveness of explosions on the squad by a huge margin.

I think T70s are just fine. They're an anti-infantry harassment unit and they do that very well indeed. If anything their max range accuracy is maybe even a bit too good, but as a fairly fuel expensive, 320 hp unit I'd be wary of changing them much. Pumas make them pointless right now, but this is an issue with pumas and not the T70.
