War Progress Addition
There is now an interim war page, which shows the progress of the war.
On the left of the page, there is a list of Maps, with one highlighted.
This is the current Sector that is being fought over.

Each Sector has 3 states, Sector Contested, Axis Offensive and Allied Offensive.
Winning a game will push the progress across by a certain amount depending on the number of players per side.
2% for 2v2, 3% for 3v3 and 4% for 4v4.
If a side pushes enough, the state of the sector will change from Contested to their side on Offence.

Gametypes will now be random depending on the momentum:
Sector Contested
10% Axis Attack
10% Allied Attack
40% Reinforcements Mode
40% Meeting Engagement

Allied Offensive
10% Axis Attack
50% Allied Attack
20% Reinforcements Mode
20% Meeting Engagement
                
Axis Offensive
50% Axis Attack
10% Allied Attack
20% Reinforcements Mode
20% Meeting Engagement

Choosing a game type in game-setup, will add a 15% chance to the selected game type, and -%5 chance to the other three.

There are also maps tied to each sector.
Playing a game on the sectors map, results in a 200% reward for both PP and XP as well as sector momentum.
Playing a game on a map to either side of the sector, results in a 150% reward.

General:
RED -- Unit/Doctrine Changes
PURPLE -- Doctrine Additions
Green -- Price/availability changes.

[salan]

this is the preliminary patch notes, there will be some added to it concerning launcher changes.

[Warlight]

First .  If I have any comments I'll place them here.

[Mysthalin]

My poow Wummel got Nurfed .

No longer will I shoot barrages before the flames recede .

[AmPM]

woot

[CrazyWR]

soooo....German Engineering > OBM?

[Demon767]

soooo....German Engineering > OBM?

heh heh heh im going to enjoy this 

[Malevolence]

I don't mean to be ridiculous, but why is a panzerschrek nerfed??

I wasn't aware of any balance issues?

[Akranadas]

If you read the whole thing, you'll see all hand held at weapons got a nerf

[Mukip]

Because they increased the cost of all handhelt AT weapons across the board.  Now that you have done that, maybe increase the fuel cost on some vehicles and limit KTs and Jagds to one per player.

[BigDick]

thanks for all the work but

M10 Availability to 4
M18 Availability to 3
T17 Availability to 4

*  Fallschirmjager Tankbusters are no longer effected by stealth first strike bonus.
*  AThT 50mm has had a 1 second reload increase, and will accelerate slightly slower.
FJ Tankbuster: 250 MP, 120 Mun (from 250 MP, 110 Mun)
**  T1 Luftwaffe Heavy weapon Supplies (panzershrek and lmg supply drop) moved to T2 (and there is no free use anymore)

that was not a "nice" move nerfing AT capabilities and raising the availability of cheap vehicles

are not enough vehicles to deal with

that is just retarded to provide this completely steamrolling by cheap vehicles spam

[Mukip]

I agree with big dick for once, although I've not idea what that quote is.  The upper limit on how many vehicles you can field if you're determined to spam them needs looking at.

[Baine]

That's the amount of enemy vehicle from his last 3v3 afaik.

[Lutefisk44]

Whhaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! why is the price of shrecks increased?! I would much rather have a insta-rear-armor-hitting piat squad with 2-4 piats that only cost 180mp 120mun. Give the germans some mobile at team with 2-4 shrecks that insta-rear-armor-hit and can go invisible!

[Mukip]

Shrecks have several advantages over the Piat, try using the Piat against a player who can micro his vehicles and then decide whether you'd rather have them over a shreck or not.  If they weren't effective in their optimal situation, camo'ed in cover at short range, they would be a joke.

[Baine]

** Military Intelligence returns.

Doctrine says otherwise, but probably just a description fix!

[GeneralGlacko]

Can we finally up the hotchkiss availability guys? This is getting ridiculous with allied light armor, PE can't compete and with all these nerfs for the 50mm and inf at, it's geting quite annoying to deal with. 

[EIRRMod]

I agree with big dick for once, although I've not idea what that quote is.  The upper limit on how many vehicles you can field if you're determined to spam them needs looking at.

Im pretty much with you there too, about vehicles.

I'll fight the good fight!

[Groundfire]

well, there you go. You got the big dog on board. no worries

[Two]

so when are stats getting removed from the launcher?
