In the process of making all the price changes now.
Note that the ATG pricing changes are largely experimental, we will be evaluating the situation 1 - 2 patches from now.

[nugnugx]

- Stuarts and Tetrarchs now have phasing armour

oh god tet with phasing armor like it didn't had crazy dodge currently 

- Changed g43 slow to be like BAR suppression fire, suppresses faster, but duration is 10 instead of 15. suppression is not multiplied by another 400% last 50% of the ability like BAR SF is.

Can you target 2 units with like US bar ?  If yes then it's ok,  if not then its even worse than bar because bar atleast got good close dps.

8p_Roads_to_and_from_carentan

This has to be this 'wicked' thing LOL !

[BigDick]

Can you target 2 units with like US bar ?  If yes then it's ok,  if not then its even worse than bar because bar atleast got good close dps.

its much worse than the bar suppression anyways didn't you read it does not get the 4xsuppression modifiers applied
that is the state where the units goes from "crawling+shooting back" into the "pinned and fucked"

=> g43 won't pin => bar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> g43

and pgrens got weaken anyways because they lost their leader rifle guy

[nugnugx]

yea..... i smell next patch g43 will have old 'slow' back 

[CrazyWR]

I liked Hinderdam

[Scotzmen]

If the Pgren leader loses its leader rifle, will Storm Tactics top T4 SE still give all Pgrens the leader rifle?

Other than that intresting allied changes, makes me want to play RCA again for the Nades change

[Smokaz]

1) RTC 4v4 wasnt in the updater.
2) No britany in the updater.
3) What range is it on the new RCA pineapples? Will they get a price increase to 30?
4) Did you remove +5 range for ami crocs?
5) What modifiers were added to first aid?

[shockcoil]

This patch is bullshit and I am hereby going to whore my 110 muni ATGs until you fix it

1. Still have to upload the maps
2. Still have to upload the maps
3. Same range as normal pineapples, price increase yes
4. No, its +5 range at vet 3 got fixed
5. Smoke modifiers should properly apply

[smurfORnot]

drom what I can see,sideskirts still cost mun

[shockcoil]

also YOU BROKE THE MOD

[Smokaz]

Games are failing! Abandon ship!

[Scotzmen]

SHE JUST WON WORK CAP'N! AM GIVIN HAR ALL A GOT!

[BigDick]

This patch is bullshit and I am hereby going to whore my 110 muni ATGs until you fix it

yeah thats the problem with unit cost changes...imho they should recalculate the used resources based on new prices somehow making negative values

so it will take very long until these ATG changes hit the metagame since supportweapon crews tend to live long

[Unkn0wn]

I could just wipe all vet 0 ATGs

[Smokaz]

My hope is that we will get epic upgraded inf + tanks battles

[Unkn0wn]

Ok sounds like the patch did indeed break something, will investigate, sorry guys.

Could someone please post a screenshot?

[nugnugx]

My hope is that we will get epic upgraded inf + tanks battles

No you won't , price changing by small ammount does not solve anything if you want a change in gameplay.
Instead of those 2 extra bars or 1 mp44  i will get the same numbers of paks/ atgs.
Price changing has any real effect if it is atleast by 60% of current price to prices above 80 and 100% to prices around 30.

Small price changing is only good for slight tweak-tuning.

[Smokaz]

Not really, if people look at their at companies and go: boy if I ditch four at guns and rely on a mix of vehicles and shreks for AT, I can get stuff powerful at decrewing other guy's at guns, thus negating his investment and not being forced to use at guns myself.

I dont know how many paks people usually run - I suspect some players run 4. Thats 600 munitions.

- Six goliaths and a bundle nade someone?
- 5 extra shreks. (Gotta admit, 5 shreks for the price of 4 paks seems a bit iffy. Shreks are expensive thats for sure.)
- 3 more sniper's worth of munitions?
- Turn four squads of grens into KCH squads.

12 MORE PURCHASES OF assault grenades.

Use your imagination here
