*Cough*Rocket Arty got nerfed but not Infantry rape-barrage?*Cough*

[Smokaz]

Still think henschel design looks weak. Was the new splash things tested and found noticable?

Will the changes make p4 kill 2-3 rifles in a squad for instance? Cause it already sometimes kills 2, and always 1 on hit.

BT is still working on that.

[CafeMilani]

hotfix tbh.

I've always been of the opinion splash buffs in EiRR are utterly useless as they only affect the outer rim of the splash, in most cases - which is about as useful as training the forearms of a Kenyan runner.

Unless Henschel design has been made an exception to the rule, I don't think many people will notice the splash increase much.

[Scotzmen]

- added kangaroo reward unit (units inside can not fire out)

Im happy you added it back in, but i still can't use it -_-

[Smokaz]

The thing is, when I see a doctrine choice that ONLY buffs AI or AT, I expect it to be kinda awesome. Splash will be noticable on support teams, but I doubt that it will be consistently improving these tanks vs infantry squads in cover or moving.

Units inside roo can't fire out?

.......

.......

Transport unit only

[RikiRude]

interesting, glad supply drops got changed!

i cant wait to see how AW and assault now work, looks like a step in the right direction.

you know this means that warmap has to be around the corner, because you guys only got Y and Z left, hope you dont paint yourself in a corner 

[Unkn0wn]

After Z there's still the roman numericals, so don't sweat it

Although yea, by the time we hit Z 8.0.0 will probably be ready anyway.

(note, grenades have scatter applied to them in final version, and squad doesn't sprint)

[Scotzmen]

Transport unit only

Isn't that what a few bren carriers can do?

Bren carriers allow you to shoot out of but are quite fragile, while a bangbus is going to take you from point A to point B... and back.

[Smokaz]

What is it going to be priced as ? This sounds like a 80 fuel vehicle max for me.

itll start looking like WM tanks!


very cool leo! with scatter i imagine it looks awesome.


also my 17 pounder is still 6 pop cap.

[lionel23]

Don't like the Chaffee gun change, would have prefered it to be made slower and keep the gun, as opposed to being a reward 'M8' greyhound with less life now.  Stuart/Tet guns are crap.  And is this the Big John tet gun or the crap basic gun?

[LeoPhone]

17 pdr is 5 pop now

[lionel23]

Oh was 17 6 pop before or something?

I've always been of the opinion splash buffs in EiRR are utterly useless as they only affect the outer rim of the splash, in most cases - which is about as useful as training the forearms of a Kenyan runner.

Lets just say, I noticed this too and pushed for it (being as I originally designed the T4). I wanted all ranges of the AoE buffed proportionately.

For the moment, we decided to get heschnel design in some kind of "working order" before looking into the power.
The current bonuses in this patch are well above the old +15% heschnel blanket AoE buff in most cases, so its a substantial buff to say the least
