Actually semi-balanced. Volks and Volkssturm need to become useful, and G-jagers need to lose omnisprint (apparently i didnt remove it). And the US officer buffs need to be toned down. But I seem to have gotten Rifles to a good state, not glaringly OP and not total crap. I dunno, Stamps has the most input.

-Pershing 90mm penetration modifier against Tiger armor increased to 0.7 from 0.8.

wat

[nikomas]

Yes hicks, it's all about the typo's 

[TheVolskinator]

Increased to 0.8 from 0.7.

[nikomas]

You plan to be on volsk?

[WildZontar]

If I could ask a question Volks, what is the purpose of this mod? Most other mods have a basic overall view of what it is about.

EIRR: Persistent Multiplayer/Companies
Blitzkrieg: Realism
Normandy 1944: Increased Realism with proper Squad names and sizes.
Commanders: Quick and Fun combat and objectives without the need of basebuilding or resource gathering.

Crusaders: ___________

[TheVolskinator]

Pseudo-realism, holding a middle ground between the arcadey play of vCoH and the ultimate realism of Blitzkrieg and N44 mods, while also adding new units and tweaking some mechanics (cover grants miniscule accuracy bonuses, for example).

[Hicks58]

Rofl.

No other comment, just rofl.

[aeroblade56]

[Demon767]

Why is bazooka damage so high -.- bazooka is shit irl

[Hicks58]

In an interesting twist, the M1A1 Bazooka (Not the M1) had much higher penetration rates than the M18 Recoilless Rifle.

Oddly enough, in CoH, the reverse is true.

The M1 was marginally better than the M18, but suffered from horrible accuracy, and a host of other problems.

For comparison, rough penetration rates hovered around 63.5mm for the M18, 76mm for the M1 and roughly 100mm for the M1A1.

In the average CoH environment, the only thing an M1A1 Bazooka would struggle with would be Panthers due to their sloped armour. Frontal armour of any other non doctrinal armour would get trashed, as well as the Tiger. The KT and the JP would provide problems though, which could be resolved with an effective flank. The only other problem would be skirted armour - But in CoH that'd only really apply for the Panther, considering your going to penetrate the PIV from the front anyhow.

[TheVolskinator]

Shrecks have 170 damage too. I increased handheld AT damage by 50 each iirc, except the RR.

-Weapon upgrade packages will grant anywhere from 1-4 weapons. Buying a weapons package as opposed to a full on upgrade might also grant a mix of weapons. This will be listed in the UI.
-Added the Fire Support Team upgrade to Riflemen; (45 MU) 1x M1918 BAR, 1x M3 Greasegun. 1 max purchasable.
-Added the Assault Team upgrade to Riflemen; (55 MU) 3x Thompson SMGs. 1 max purchasable.
-Added the Bunker-Buster upgrade to Riflemen; (60 MU) 2x M1897 Trenchguns. Adds 1.1 received damage modifier to the squad. Squad is able to throw a Smoke grenade with a 60s cooldown. 2 Max purchasable (attempting to revise the 1.1 modifier from stacking).
-Added the Experienced Combat Package to Grenadiers (75 MU); 1x G43, 2x MP40. 1 max purchasable.
-Added the Veteran Combat Package to Grenadiers (120 MU); 1 LMG42, 2x G43. 1 max purchasable. Requires Vet2.
-Panzerschreck remains as a standalone upgrade for 75MU.
-MP40 upgrade grants 3 MP40s instead of 5.
-Added the Mid-Range Combat Package to Volksgrenadiers (60 MU); 1x MP44, 2x MP40s, ability to throw Grenadier Grenades. 1 max purchasable. Requires the Krieg Barracks.
-Bren upgrade only grants 1 Bren LMG. Price reduced to 45 MU.
-Command Package added to Tommy Infantry Sections (50 MU); 1x Sten SMG, 1x Assault Bren (moving fire). 1 max purchasable. Takes 1 minute to upgrade.
-Added the Trenchsweeper upgrade to Tommies. Grants 3 Sten SMGs. 1 max purchasable.
-The FG42 upgrade only grants 2 FG42s, but also grants an MP40. Price reduced to 85 MU. The FG42s new statistics make it even more effective with Fal ambush.
-The LMG42 was removed as a standalone upgrade because its REALLY good when made pseudo-realistic (especially when incorperating 20 rounds a second, or 1200 RPM as seen IRL.) I'll re-add it if advised, but would like input on this. If it is re-added, there will be a maximum of 1 per squad. Dual LMG squads would sweep all before them on legs.
-The new BAR is more like an LMG42 or Bren, though it is more accurate then Garands (.4/.3 long/mid range accuracy). BARs are no longer used for LOLCHARGEing volks and so on, but act as a general DPS increase and also improve riflemen's long and mic range DPS.

Considering:
-M1903 Springfield upgrades for either the Combat Team or Riflemen. Input from you guys would be great. The M1903 would be a rifle, not a sniper rifle.
-I need input for new PE upgrades.
-Adding the MP41 to the PE upgrade roster. This would use the Thompson model and fx and would be a fusion of the Thompson and MP40.
-Adding Stens as an upgrade to Commandos and doing away with Rifle Commandos. Input?

[nikomas]

I like the idea, but volksgrens will now survive even less time unless you plan to give them some longer range pack, what I mean is, who would ever buy the mid range pack, that is really short range pack, when they are up against thompsons and threnchguns on rifles that are already better than them in close combat?

[TheVolskinator]

-Volks Midrange Package now grants 3 MP44s and 2 MP40s.

[Demon767]

Why do volks have mp44s? and three of them? Why give the least experienced unit the first assault rifle ever made, the best weapon on the battlefield, a weapon that was made only in short numbers at the end of the war.
