Profile of bC_

Speaking on that, I wanted to make sure I understood the change - it would have reduced the effectiveness of scattering shots which manage to hit another unit aside from the gun's main target as caused by focus fire being off on the gun, right?

no the damage aoe profile means at the ranges (near / med / far) it will do the base damage x that.

For example

lets say the profile is (1 near / 0.5 med / 0.25 far)

and the base damage is 100.

at near assuming it is a hit and scatter is not a factor you will do 100 / 50 / 25 damage at the ranges.


the changes to the HMG profile were to reduce the damage it did at ranges as it was looking like it was killing too many models thus compounding the "manpower bleed" of the USF. However like I said earlier with the buff to rifleman it did not seem necessary anymore.

1 thing I don't understand, they say the MG42 was over performing so gave it a nerf, they probably nerfed it too much and have now reverted to back it was when they thought it was over performing?

errrrr.......

that is the whole point of this mod preview to help us make revisions and try the ch anges before it actually gets patched into the live game. It gives more refinement to the process and all members of the community are involved.

typo in the notes tiger range is 40 to 45

GG WELL MET.

Hey Guys,

Design Team is currently reviewing a few key balance complaints in the game and we would like your feedback

Disclaimer: Everything you read below is work in progress and not guaranteed to go into the game.

Elite Rifleman:
At the moment this ability provides no real downfall to its usage except for its long recharge time. We implemented slight cost increase as well as starting it on a cool down. However we are currently exploring possible redesigns of the ability such as increasing the rate in which rifleman will accumulate Veterancy.

Soviet Weapon Team:
This has been a hot topic for a while but we are experimenting with 4 men Soviet Weapon Teams. Issue being they are too durable. If a 4 men team loses 2 men, chances of losing that whole squad would go up exponentially. When a 6 men squad loses 2 men the chances of losing that squad still remain fairly low. If overall performances needs to be compensated for reduced durability that is something we could also explore.

Long Range Combat:
With our change to lethality in a previous update to make cover more important. A side effect of that change was that it made long range weapons extremely effective, especially LMGs. The combination of cover, lethality, and long range has resulted in medium to short range units being overall less effective. In most situation, units that require closer range will lose too many men on approach resulting in a significant drop in offensive performance.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated and thank you!
