"April 27th Balance Preview Mod Release Notes" https://community.companyofheroes.com/discu...se-notes#latest
This list is still being developed and does not include the final list of changes planned. A quick shoutout to "miragefla" for his contribution to this balance update. Please note that theses changes have not had developer comments added in yet and a more detailed explanation behind them will be announced in the near future.
