the next hotfix version will see the following vet fixes:

ambush ability put in for all units with submachine guns, ambush will act the same as the cover ability for all other units, but will be in effect for moving units.  Which need to be vet 3.

The vet 2 "gains a second use of.." will be fixed on all vehicles. they previously did not have enough slots to cover their upgrades.

Oo got teh flakveirling to NOT crash the game.. happy happy!

[MistenTH]

Oh, so it WAS the flakvierling. Good job salan, will test once it's up. Fixed the mortar pit range disparities yet?

[salan]

according to these numbers they shouldn't be.. i'll try it in game though

[RikiRude]

so how do vet 3 rangers work now, and how will they work after this hotfix? they will get some kind of bonus while they are on the move? because ambush sounds like how the falls cloak works (in my mind) . how do you ambush on the move =P

[MistenTH]

I'm guessing the vet 3 'assault' vet bonus works like the current airborne modifier. Airborne get a 25% dodge bonus only when they are moving.

So I guess vet 3 assault troops (mp44s, thompsons, stens etc) when moving get a 15% dodge bonus or 15% damage reduction bonus.

Versus

Regular vet 3 infantry like grens with LMGs and rifles with BARs that get the 15% defensive bonus only when in cover.

gotcha, im just curious how they will do this with units like storms and volks.

storms with mp44 are assault units, and would benefit from this ambush ability, but storms with schrecks would probably be better with the cover bonus. same with volks, volks with MP40s will benefit from a dodge bonus, but vanilla volks will benefit from cover bonus, not that anyone uses MP40 volks =P

mortar needs an armor fix...

flame + 17 pdr = lots of damage
flame + mortar pit =- no damage.

Good point, these units can be assault or fire from fixed position...we'll see. Possibly if the unit is capable of buying an assault weapon means they'll get the assault bonus.

Or why not just give all vet 3 infantry a flat 15% reduction regardless. Guess the appeal of making people stick their troops in cover i suppose is the major factor for splitting into cover/assault rather than giving a flat reduction.
