  1. Global Balance Changes:
  2. - Significant changes made to tank, antitank and infantry antitank scatter. Ballistic weapon misses will look more realistic as opposed to firing far off target when the shot misses.
  3. - Significant fixes made to area of effect damage related to area of effect "accuracy". Previously there was a potential to not apply area of effect damage even on minimum radius. Area of effect will now always be applied correctly.
  4. - Area of effect damage and penetration profiles tuned down to make area of effect weapon effectiveness work as intended after the area of effect "accuracy" fix.
  5. - Tank area of effect profiles redone to make them less reliant on direct impacts and more on area of effect damage. This is also a change that works because and is highly related to scatter changes.
  6. - Anti-blob radius decreased from 10 to 6. The radius worked differently than originally expected, creating a bigger aura than intended.
  7. - Anti-blob should no longer affect squads who are inside of buildings, bunkers and halftracks. This does not include trenches.
  8. - Significantly increased light cover effectiveness.
  9. - Slightly increased heavy cover effectiveness.
  10. - Starting resources increased.
  11. - Manpower income from HQs decreased.
  12. - Income from manpower points significantly decreased.
  13. - Removed manpower income from munition and fuel points.
  14. - Victory Point Control possibilities changed from 250/500/1000 to 500/650/800.
  15. - Fuel and Munition strategic point capture time redone:
  16. * High 40s/35s -> 25s/20s
  17. * Medium 30s/25s -> 20s/15s
  18. * Low 20s/15s -> 15s/10s
  19. - Manpower strategic point revert time reduced from 15s to 10s
  20. - Mortar area of effect profile changes increasing their consistency:
  21. * Reduced lethal range AoE damage radius.
  22. * Reduced medium range AoE damage and radius.
  23. * Increased maximum range AoE damage and radius.
  24. - Mortar Shell trajectory slightly improved.
  25. - Mortar effectiveness against bunkers doubled.
  26. - Heavy machine gun base damage increased but significantly reduced effectiveness vs suppressed units. The idea is to make the barrage of MG bullets seem much stronger, but units that take cover still take relatively low damage to prevent the HMGs from being overpowered.
  27. - Heavy machine gun teardown and setup times reduced.
  28. - All single shot rifle had their range decreased from 53 to 42, and range table adjusted to 9/20/30/40.
  29. - Sub machine gun and assault rifle range table adjusted to 5/15/23/32.
  30. - Sub machine gun and assault rifle damage decreased by roughly by 20%.
  31. - Moving accuracy penalty of all small arms weapons decreased and normalized from 0.3-0.75 to 0.8.
  32. - Normalized min/max small arms damage. We felt that damage was too inconsistent, creating for very random performance of most weapons. Weapons should feel much more reliable in their prefered combat situations.
  33. - Decreased sniper rifle range from 63 to 48, and increased the cooldown between each shot from 8.5 to 9 seconds. Sniper Spam was a serious problem when playing pvp - being too cost-effective and too easily capable of hardcountering any infantry squad, Sniper Rifles have seen a decrease in rate of fire and now require to be closer to the action.
  34. - Units that have a camouflage ability will no longer receive a movement buff during camouflage once achieving a certain veterancy rank.
  35. - Fixed the range tables of all 20mm guns, to fall in line with the regular standard; the old range tables made the weapons unintendedly inconsistent on certain ranges. Now there is a consistent damage drop off on larger ranges.
  36. - Maximum population cap for all armies is now set to 125.
  37. - Base population cap for all armies increased by 10.
  38. - Fixed a bug where some grenade types would not be thrown at the combat slots of buildings; making them unreliable against larger building types.
  39. - Demolition charges recharge time increased from 10 to 25 seconds.
  40. - Demolition charges munition cost decreased from 50 to 35. Due to the nature of Demolition Charges being difficult to use, there was no reason the cost was so steep.
  41. - Demolition charges damage multiplier against all building types increased from 1 to 1.5.
  42. - Goliath damage and area of effect tables equalized to demolition charges.
  43. - Normalized the target tables of hand-held infantry anti-tank weapons (Panzerschreck, M9 bazooka, M18 recoilless rifle and PIAT)
  44. - Standardized infantry anti-tank weapon reloading times: Panzerschreck, bazooka and recoilless rifle reload now takes 8 seconds and PIAT reloads 7 seconds.
  45. - Reworked fuel upkeep to the values that were intended:
  46. * King Tiger fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 6 per minute.
  47. * Tiger fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 5 per minute.
  48. * Panther, Jagdpanther, Churchill and M26 Pershing fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 4 per minute.
  49. * Shermans, Panzer IV's, Cromwell, Firefly, Priest, Hummel, Ostwind, Wirblewind, Hetzer, Sturmgeschütz IV and Sturmhaubitze 42 fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 3 per minute.
  50. * M10 Wolverine, M36 Jackson, M18 Hellcat, Marder III, Geschützwagen and Nashorn fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 2 per minute.
  51. * M8 Greyhound, Sd.Kfz. 234 Puma, Hotckiss, Armored Car, Reconnaissance Halftrack, T17, Staghound, Kangaroo, Tetrach and Stuart fuel upkeep increased from 0 to 1 per minute.
  52. - Decreased the general damage weapon crews inside emplacements take by 50%.
  53. - Increased grenade recharge time from 15 to 20 seconds.
  54. - Decreased grenade throwing range from 25 to 20. The reason behind this is that it was too easy to use grenades in all situations, decreasing the effect of cover and defensive positions.
  55. - Most infantry abilities can no longer be used once the squad is pinned, exceptions are for example Fire-Up, Assault and Sprint.
  56. - Medic Station Medics health decreased from 142 to 110.
  57. - Heroic Infantry armor now decreases received suppression by 20% as opposed to 50%.
  58. - Replaced the standard Sandbag model with a higher detail version; this version is visually more appealing and looks good from all sides.
  59. - Completely reworked critical hits to tanks:
  60. *Frontal Armor Hits:
  61. #100-40% hitpoints: 100% none
  62. #40-5% hitpoints: 40% none 42% engine damage 10% detrack 8% gun damage
  63. #5-0% hitpoints: 75% vehicle destroyed 25% out of control
  64. *Rear Armor Hits:
  65. #100-40% hitpoints: 90% none 10% engine damage
  66. #40-5% hitpoints: 20% none 50% engine damage 15% engine destroyed 15% detrack
  67. #5-0% hitpoints: 75% vehicle destroyed 25% out of control
  68. - Tracked down and fixed the remaining situations where the 5% health bug would appear.
  69. - Removed the Population Upkeep threshold for all nations, this value removed the upkeep of x amount of entities.
  70. - Panzerfaust base damage decreased from 275 to 200 and target tables fixed. The General performance versus vehicles should be like this:
  71. *26% of a Sherman/Cromwell
  72. *33% of a M10/M18
  73. *28% of a M36
  74. *18% of a Pershing
  75. *22% of a Churchill
  76. *44% of a Stuart
  77. *61%/41% of a M8/T17/Staghound
  78. *53% of a M3 Halftrack
  79. *86% of a Bren Carrier
  80. - Heavy tank weapons munition effect changed to represent their higher caliber shells.
  81. - The last member of any decrewed team weapon that can reinforce will now be killed. This is done to prevent team weapon duplicating exploit.
  82. - Significantly improved the effectiveness of Anti-Aircraft Weaponry, they are now much more capable of dealing with incoming aircraft. Multiple of these weapons can now have great air coverage, preventing air strikes from being called in near them.
  83. - Removed permanent 0.75 accuracy decrease due to how cover works from all vehicles.
  84. - Improved the way green cover works with vehicles.
  85. - Added light cover to hedgerows. This cover isn't directional, meaning that squads get an overall cover bonus when standing 'in' a hedgerow.

The Pak40 performs like the Marder or Geschützwagen in terms of firepower, but compared to the Pak38 it also is more sluggish and fires slower. The design choice for this is that the 50mm Pak 38 never was designed to deal with heavier allied tanks, making it difficult to balance from a historical point of view.

  539. AI:
  540. - Significantly improved and switched around much of the unit purchase logic.
  541. - Overhauled much of Attack and Defend targets logic. Key new features include:
  542. * Additional logic for moving units to corners of the map which weren't usually considered by the AI. This affects maps like Wolfheze most of all
  543. * Improved AI spreading out across the map overall.
  544. * Fixed AI for maps where HQ are closer together than normal (like Etavaux)
  545. * Further improved frontline forming and enemy encirclement by the AI.
  546. * AI is now more likely to defend areas with its attacking units, making it not leave any holes in its frontline and also resulting in fewer unit clumps when attacking.
  547. * AI will now consider targets distance from both friendly HQs instead of just its own.
  548. * AI will now respond to threats near its base and in friendly territory much better.
  549. * Improved defensive building placement.
  550. - Made crucial improvements and fixes to AI capture logic:
  551. * No more capturing under fire.
  552. * Can now capture non-connected territory if it wants to.
  553. * Reduced instances of the endless move-capture orders bug.
  554. - Difficulty settings adjusted and the resource bonuses have been reduced significantly.
  555. - Significant improvements made to aicontrol script:
  556. * Redone much of the script to improve its usability and performance.
  557. * Team weapons will now move back properly if close to the enemy.
  558. * Team weapons will now quickly retreat if the threat of the enemy closeby is high enough.
  559. * Team weapons will now rotate to fire at the enemy if they see a better target than they're facing at more often. This also fixes MGs facing at wrong direction and not trying to rotate.
  560. * Across the board improvements in the different settings for all the team weapons.
  561. * Redone a lot of British HQ setup logic.
  562. * Bypassed a weird scar error which would occur after certain campaign missions.
  563. - Added a brand new vehicle control script:
  564. * Vehicles will now be forced to face the enemy properly.
  565. * Vehicles will now retreat from danger properly and never run in blindly into enemy fire.
  566. * Vehicles will now move back to the HQ or to closest safe point when low on health or when they have critical damage.
  567. - To go along with the new vehicle script, important improvements were made to repair unit purchase logic, increasing the number of pioneers and engineers AI builds proportionally to the number of friendly vehicles on the field.
  568. - Added weights to AI command tree choices - slightly improves randomness but also adds weights which make AI choose the trees more suitable for it slightly more often.
  569. - Altered AI VP importance logic:
  570. * Made AI more frantic about capturing victory points if it's about to lose, regardless of how many points the enemy has.
  571. * AI should start paying attention to its victory points much sooner in the game.
  572. * Significantly increased AI victory point importance increase on low victory point count.
  573. * Victory point importance logic now reflects how many victory points AI needs to not bleed victory points. It should be much more aggressive if it has less points than it needs to stay even, and should play as usual when it's not bleeding points, or is bleeding the enemy.
  574. * Changed the way the victory point importance accumulates due to AI having less victory points than the enemy.
  575. - Significantly improved weapon pick up logic.
  576. - Significantly improved team weapon capture logic.
  577. - Fixed one more possibility where AI could end up turning the 3rd level production on and off endlessly.
  578. - Decreased AI basic infantry building priority when it's close to popcap.
  579. - Further improved retreat filter and demand tactic logic.
  580. - AI unit wait time increased, making AI purchase the exact units it needs instead of quickly spamming out cheaper ones. This was also required to let Axis AI build heavy armor after the cost increase.
  581. - AI will now build its first building near the HQ to reduce the walk time and build it as fast as possible.
  582. - Improved Panzer Elite building purchase logic.
  583. - Improved building enter logic.
  584. - Added a script which increases AI starting resources.

  586. - American AI will rush t3 more often.
  587. - American AI will now sometimes choose to upgrade the supply yard instead of buying tech buildings and buy the first upgrade faster.
  588. - Improved advanced tanks upgrade purchase logic for American AI.
  589. - Improved grenade throw logic.
  590. - Revisited AI buildorders to update them to the new income and starting resources.

  592. - Axis AI will now sometimes skip t3.
  593. - Adjusted the priority of buying puma upgun upgrade.
  594. - Further improvements made to how AI uses unit abilities. Biggest changes include:
  595. * Grenades have had additional demand logic added so that they aren't thrown every time AI gets a target.
  596. * Repair changes - pioneers and engineers will find repair targets on larger distances (this helps repair bridges and idle tanks that will be around due to new aicontrol script), PE infantry had its repair radius and priority reduced to prevent mass repairs that tended to happen too often.
  597. - AI will sometimes buy flamethrowers on engineers and pioneers again. The demand function was not working correctly.
  598. - Improved the way PE AI buys upgrades and techs up.
