Possibly because it will alienate a specific bunch of the fanbase. No other reason to hide the changes.

It's bad practice.

Nah, changes just slip through the cracks. When we release a patch for CoH:EF, we run into the same problem. When you have many developers submitting many changes, and some of those changes affect or negate other changes, it gets hard to keep track of everything, and I would say writing the damn changelog is the hardest thing to do when releases a big patch

One thing the scout car does have though which the luchs and similar units don't have, is the fact that when upgraded with the 20mm its a cheap AA weapon which can shoot down planes

Though it can use more health. I would say give it a health increase when you upgrade it with the 20mm

Looked through to game files to compare the JU-87 strike and P47 strike.

JU-87
-Has a 4 second delay before being called in
-Spends 4.75 seconds maximum firing its weapons for each strafe
-Makes 3 strafes maximum
-Has a loiter radius of 60. Anything that comes into this radius gets attacked
-80 seconds maximum to loiter before the plane leaves
-has an 18 second delay between each strafe
-Is set to attack both vehicles and infantry targets
-does not follow targets, but attacks any that happen to come within the firing cone of the 37mm cannons (has an 8 degree angle firing cone) regardless of whether or not they triggered the attack
-Warning smoke lasts for 5 seconds

weapon data
-has 2 37mm cannons
-each cannon does 120 damage per shot
-has a penetration of 160 at long range and 180 at close range
-If a round deflects off a tank, it still deals 80 damage to the tank
-For each round which deflects, there is a 20% chance of one of the following happening to the tank: Tank cannot shoot for 10 seconds, damaged engine, crew shocked, injured loader
-each cannon fires 38 rounds per strafe maximum, at a rate of 8 rounds per second
-each cannon has a splash damage radius of 1.875, about the same as a panzer IV
-Causes a small amount of suppression to infantry, and can cause infantry to be suppressed


P47 rocket strafe
-Has a 4 second delay before being called in
-Each plane fires rockets for 3 seconds maximum for each strafe
-Has 2 planes, second one arrives after 8 seconds
-Has a loiter radius of 60. Anything that comes into this radius gets attacked
-80 seconds maximum to loiter before the plane leaves
-each aircraft makes 3 strafes maximum
-Has a an 8 second delay minimum before each strafe
-It will only target vehicles
-does not follow targets, but attacks any that happen to come within the firing cone of the rocket launching hardpoints (has an 20 degree angle firing cone) regardless of whether or not they triggered the attack
-Warning smoke lasts for 5 seconds

Weapon info
-Has 2 hardpoints which fire rockets.
-Each rocket does 80 damage
-Rockets have a 420 penetration at short range and 340 penetration at long range
-If a rocket deflects off a tank, it still does 40 damage to the tank
-Each hardpoint fires 3 rockets per strafe, for a total of 6 rockets per strafe
-Each rocket has a splash damage radius of 4.5


They are both pretty deadly, and each has its advantages. But for sheer power and destruction, I would say the JU-87 wins hands down. It also doesnt have to worry much about AA, as the allies dont have as many options as the axis do.

Well, now all those people who play 4v4 matches have a way to counter all those kings tigers, jagdtigers, and panthers.

I can already imagine it now, the first jagdtiger is spotted, and then suddenly... BOOM... 10 203mm shells rain down upon it

and then they ragequit

I kinda of agree with this, but then I remember how stupid weapons clipping through the ground looked in Dawn of War.

If the projectile could be made to follow the terrain or so.e thing that might work
