The hotchkiss officer has 100 more hitpoints, medium repair kits, a inherent 15% incoming accuracy buff, and sight close to a jeeps.

It does not have a OFFMAP ability, or a constant aura.

It does have a aura that can be activated every 5 minutes for 15 seconds.

this aura will do:

Buff friendly vehicles in a wide circle around the hotchkiss with a reload buff, cooldown buff,  and a range buff.

the activation also activates a circle around the hotchkiss itself slowing down enemy tank commanders slightly in movement and turret rotation and sight radius.

as well as a further defensive measure of slowing down infantry in a tighter range around the tank.

GIVE ME TIME TO DO THE SQL, I slack on this till its done!

[CryingWolf]

Wow. That ATHT upgun sounds awesome
Quick question, Is it tied to a doctrine or is it available to ALL pe players?
Can't wait for this patch :3

[salan]

all doctrines once i get it in... it should be interesting.  we'll balance it as we go!

in my testing it wasn't OP, was able to lose it considerably fast a few times

[salan]

YOU WILL HAVE TO REBUY YOUR LIGHT VEHICLE REPAIR KITS, i just erased em all off of your vehicles to allow the staghound change!

[CryingWolf]

Sounds sweet. Gotta try that out then, will it keep focus fire and/or treadbreaker. Or have they been removed for balance?

Also, Is the officer a Inf or a Tank commander thing (like the Cromwell command tank)? Couldn't work out what one it was

Nice patch work though, most of looks like good stuff, +5 muntions on the flamer seemed a bit strange though...Didn't really think it needed a nerf, specially since the platform it was on ain't the best platform to use it. Although its nice to see the bren got a slight nerf too, Specially since their health was silly sometimes (taking 3 pak shot's ect).

Also, Might as well ask this here, Flammen-Assault squads and their flamers, is it possible to make it swap round if the flamer dies, since I rather have a flamer then a MP44, or is this gonna take some/already been fixed?

Nice work Salan + Crew!  

[CryingWolf]

Sweet, Patch time
I can now answer all the questions myself.

(sorry for the double post)

[salan]

I think i forgot to do the satchel timer, don't kill me

[CryingWolf]

Don't play US, That doesn't bother me :3
Its the ATHT I wants >D

[Demon767]

we bought the i9mproved barrel,s when its moved shall it be still selected? im hoping that for others sake, lucky for me i dont have this issue but other blitz players might not be happy as they bought all the doctrines buffs and miss out on that certian buff. nice place to put it though.

[Killer344]

Improved Barrels is still better than the others T3 tbh.

[Tymathee]

W X Y Z....

[Killer344]

ffs, stop trolling about that.

[Tymathee]

who's trolling...have fun.

[salan]

I haven't done the barrels/assault swap yet.. i want to play a few games before bed, probably do it in the morning

I'm giggling like a schoolgirl.

[salan]

going to keep an eye on the ATHT pricing, it might be too high.. mine got chewed up fast last game!

[jackmccrack]

Is the Upgunned ATHT doctrine specific? I am not seeing it on the battalion screen..

[Tymathee]

I say leave it there for a while. Is the gun exactly like the pak, like the range and everything or just the damage? If it gets its range and the damage, i can see this be a real nasty unit to have for pe, wont need marders as much...heck might replace my schrecks if this proves to be a good thing to have.
