[RoyalHants]

PATCH!!!!!!!!!!

[Rudy-sanErik]

Nooooo my Stummels ( ....i hate you ghuys  but still i dont know why decrease accuracy against atg . Pak 36 do a little damage to Atg.

[Unkn0wn]

Pak 36 accuracy vs atgs 1.0 -> 0.3
Pak 40 accuracy vs atgs 1.0 -> 0.1

that is to harsh wtf

All other AT weaponry have similar accuracy tables mind you.
It gets 0.3 accuracy where as all other AT pieces get 0.1.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

So you guys decided NOT to add an holdfire button to Stuhs?

[Unkn0wn]

I think the StuH was overlooked, though it's not a big deal.

[nugnugx]

Probably one of the bigger patches so far,,, with all the vcoh changes

[TheIcelandicManiac]

Well it would have been nice due to the faqt that it fires at everything it sees aslong as it is inrange like the 95mm cromm(worse for the cromm due to the turret rotation).

[nugnugx]

Rocket Barrage

    * Long AoE increment damage increased from 0.1x to 0.2x

G43 now suppresses  


me likey new patch  

[Unkn0wn]

Rocket barrage buffed? wonder how it will work now.

It'll actually do something versus infantry.

Marder buff <3

The sight +5 in lockdown was already in the game, it's just the tracking.

[Demon767]

Okay sorry i understand, well with that in mind it wont change anything since Atgs (+ paks etc) snipe eachother asif no values were changed. so if you're gonna attempt to reduce atg sniping, just outright abolish it by taking out the targeting tables for atg vs atg.

[spinn72]

Halftracks

    * All Panzer Elite halftracks have received an update to their pathfinding

http://youtu.be/jPmb0F00YPE
