Reward points for everyone!!!

Still working on the reward unit stuff, you'll notice when we get there.

so why do you mention reward points in the updates?

Nice
Looks like you guys wont be keeping to the 10th thingy.

woo, no more uber decloak from enigma decoded.

nice1

I know... but this aint an update then... :P it's just an announcement of something to come

You don't see everything that got updated?

nevermind... english is not my native language...

There's a lot more to the patch than the reward points :P

Bullshit.
why you be lying?

I got this nice link with a tank ... HMMMMMM

No you don't :)

Still do :)

Try it :)

You should know that Youtube saves the words of your video title... Connoraldinho :)

Added to patch logs, was missing.

Yay!

.
.

Now go fix Lit up!

Let the reign of the panzershrek begin.

Time to fire the zombies and hire some officers!

Go-go double weapon upgrades?

this is blasphemy! when was this even discussed? ever?

was it so OP?

Maybe they still have the gren kar98 unupgraded, katusha. With these its almost uneccessary to get the g43s, apart from the improved vcoh slow. Its like a 10% dps or something.

I understand that, but was it removed because of slow? I like slow

Tbh hating on my G43 Snipers with that T4 that gives +33% accuracy and stacks with ambush  ::)

supervise never worked? gaaaay i was wondering why my units weren't actually better with the officer buffs woo yeah time to rape.

interesting choice that you decided to just change the modifiers on the jumbo rather than changing the armor.

Great job on the patch anyway, time to plaaaaaaaaaaaay

gonna keep aB riflemen stickies are 95mu, especially now that fire up is gone?

AB is being worked on - dont bet on anything remaining the same ;P

Reward pointss?!?!

I can finally test some of them for realz?

Doesn't this mean u can spam smoke grenades essentially? It don't think its a very good idea.


Why make Stuhs cheaper? They are pretty good for what they do already aren't they? You could compare a stuh with an ostwind.... but then again a Stuh costs less MP than an Ostwind.

Strange balance chang if you ask me.

No obviously, or it shouldn't. It's supposed to be tied to the 'first aid' usage. (So you can't just pop it anywhere anytime and use it as a smoke grenade)

I'm thinking more along the lines of bum rushing a MG, taking one casualty and smoking up. In any situation where u take a single casualty you smoke up and maybe grenade.

Not that it will fundamentally impact gameplay at the moment... but it might in the future. Just putting up an observation.

The duration of the smoke hardly last any longer than it takes for your guys to to use the ability though. Anyway, we'll see how it works out in practice. It's a tad experimental but the idea behind it is that since the first aid requires your entire squad to move over to the wounded guy, they needed something that shielded them (either smoke or defensive buffs for the duration of the ability)

Tbh you'll probably be suppressed before you take a casualty and smoke doesn't break suppression.

Luftwaffe infantry with G43's are just as deadly as FJ's with G43's. Hell, FJ's don't NEED g43's with ambush and 33% acc bonuses. Save your munis!

i  still can  buy support gens  on my  th

SQL changes haven't been implemented yet Kwiatekkek

Some were, not all, I'll fix the support grens & reward unit shizzle today.

Done. Just gotta remove those FJ upgrades now.

ANZACS cost 2 RPs?

All unit unlocks do, except the jagdtiger. (And the super secret axis weapon)

Changed it to make PP & XP 'unlocks' cheaper by comparison.

Comets cost 1

super secret axis weapon is probably not a unit at all, its prolly a troll face in your company selection screen.

It is a unit, but we just want to keep some aces up our sleeves for when the warmap launches.
There's a number of other units we won't yet disclose, you'll see them with the warmap.

SO never then :(

:(

Zing!

The secret weapon is the Maus.

3000 Health, 0.5 rec pen Tiger Armour.
2 Guns, one with 200 dmg/shot and 6.5 sec reload, the other 2ith 62.5 dmg/shot and 6.5 sec reload.

Both penetrate everything fairly well, kinda good vs inf.

1.5 top speed (KT has 3), takes 18 seconds just to turn around.

That sounds like the worst unit ever, I wouldn't use one if it was free and 2 pop.

24 maus start.

Shock you noob! all you need is minimum 1 clown car x2 shrek and maybe a pak for long range moving targets, then you just go chugga chugga chugga big red car through the allied line and down to spawn.

Sounds like something you can just run up to and sticky or button. Which is going to be lame, because no way a single button squad or a sticky squad should be able to contain something of the Maus's size.

its realy  good @ dying lol
:D

so make him immune or highly unlikely to get eng dmg to sticky?
it is kinda stupid that single stickie could stop whole maus  ::)

Just because the Maus is in the RGDs doesn't mean it's actually a unit we'll use. In case you haven't noticed, there's a bunch of other units in the RGDs that are not currently in the game either.

Airborne Riflemen are 6 pop.

Are they in game as well? I can fix that quickly in the launcher, assuming their pop was fixed in game.

Yes, they're 5 pop ingame.

PII is 6 pop in launcher, 8 ingame

Fixed

Like the Esselschreck? :P We know it's the Maus Unknown, at least that's what it's currently tied to.

Haha, there's exactly no possible way you could know what it's tied to, since you don't have SQL access.

Because information has never been leaked in this community lol.

....  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ No more g43s for my fjs..... T.T .... T.T Do my waffles still have them?

Yes

So even with the T2 unlock, Fals dont get G43s? -confused-

They certainly won't get them without the T2 unlock, lol.

Would somebody mind giving a clear reason as to why G43 was removed from FSJ? I'm not arguing against it (yet), but what is the reason, is it so hard to answer that question?

If they can give them G43s they can take them away. lol

Because FJ were becoming cluttered and had far too many unlock options, they were literally able to do everything. Not to mention instant suppression from cloak is pretty retarded, Luft already gets the MG34 so FJ's have no need for G43's.

^ What schmidt said.
(High five)

you guys are a bunch of playa haters

New vcoh slow is bawss!! Old one was like pear tits this is two silicone hooters cramped into a tight wet t-shirt.

i am convinced, will use k98's on falls

EDIT: because i like pear tits in dry shirts

It says that Elite Grenadiers cost 240MP / 100MU well it's actually ; 240MP 60MU...

Should add in all the cost of the reward units to the buying button on them. It is missing on some.

Will do.

M36 veterancy in game and in launcher doesn't match (Launcher shows vet 2 when it's vet 1 in-game).

Simple fix, will do it tomorrow.

First aid is more useful now. But there's still few situations where it gets used :P

10 ranger squads with them, some games they help, some they never get used.

thanks for the reqward points! i cant wait to try some of these new units out!!!

wont be able to play until tuesday most likey, but im quite excited to use my defensive and have officers working properly FINALLY, might even go back to my old set up and use Duel T3s!! wee!

that was my main complaint about the ability.

Alot of people complained about how your soldiers go retarded and go back and run into machineguns trying to help one guy. But in reality you should never would use that if wounded was surrounded by enemy, and also alot of times after a firefight you push forward or both people withdraw giving you a safe passage... but my problem was that, it was basically never used. Chances of someone getting wounded are actually pretty slim. Even if free, its risky to invest points into.

Maybe tweak the wounded status? As is i can lose like 20 men before is an opportunity to use the ability.

It really has to many variables to determine its use tbh. I'm trying them out with the dual tier 3's. Bottom and top. Tbh, its brilliant when you can use them and they work well. But that's rare.

I love it now, got it on all my rifles, makes them so much more survivable, as long as you don't run too far away before popping it.

We should remove the restriction on needing to have a squad at less then 100%. Have 20+man Rifle squads running around

Mortar a friendly squad and create casualty and wola.
you got a blob of a unit  :P

If something like that would be done imo it could be done with 'realism' in mind,  an squad in ww2 usualy had around 10 men.

IMO - extending the time the casualties lie there could be a good idea.

so the smoke will just pop above the squad when the ability is used? not above the casualty?

If it works like that, who cares about that one casualty. just keep him lie down there and profit infinite (free) smoke usage.

Infinite? You get what, 2 uses? 3 With Operation Overlord?

Pretty sure you can't interrupt it either.

I still have the T2 unlock, and G43s are still available to me, and my launcher doesnt crash when I select G43s. Awsome.

This change has finally been affected.

For ease and accuracy ALL G43 and AT Rifle upgrades were removed from the PE faction.

You'll have to re purchase G43 upgrades.(2043 squads had it)
