Дальше читать сил уже не осталось. Хороший повод проститься с игрой.

Все это полная ерудна в сравнении с этими изменениями:

Prevent unwanted clumping when given two opposing orders in quick succession (e.g., forward & backwards to avoid an AoE projectile).

Хороший повод начать играть.

Всё мечтаю о дп28 для призывников и комиссарских отрядах, но чувствую, что не сбудется.

Любое тупое животное может выиграть просто взяв бриторасов. Отменный баланс, да - немцы всегда проигрывают.

Любое тупое животное может выиграть просто взяв бриторасов. Отменный баланс, да - немцы всегда проигрывают.

Вот это подрыв.

Чё, Солярка и в кох про стал, не только в тундре? Гоните в шею.

Solar_Macharius · 30 апреля, 2017

Че там уметь-то, главное - играть за правильные нации.

**DarthM** · 30 апреля, 2017

Интересно, а в Старкрафт у Соляра такой же заход был бы? :D

Solar_Macharius · 30 апреля, 2017

Старкрафт уныл и скучен.

Войну ведь проиграли, почему тут должны выигрывать? Всё исторично.

Неожиданно...

На Декабрь запланирован большой патч включающий в себя: р[мордашки]нс карт, р[мордашки]нс командиров, ИИ отрядов и балансные правки.

Сейчас нам демонстрируют первую порцию исправлений в балансе.

"Раскрывающийся текст"

We are happy to announce the December Balance Preview! Please note the changes below are NOT FINAL and will be undergoing weeks of iteration based on the community's feedback and extensive playtesting in the DBP Mod (which will be publicly available on the Steam Workshop later this week). For more info on what will be included in the December Update and the formerly suspended Fall Balance Preview, please check out our Blog.

For any feedback you have regarding the proposed changes below, make sure to post in out DBP Balance Feedback and DBP Bug thread located in the Balance Feedback section of the forums.

DBP Goals

Tune select underused / undervalued commanders to increase and diversify the number of viable strategies available in automatch

Tone down the effectiveness of some the Axis’ elite, heavy tanks to make them less spammable and dominant in team games

Tone down the squad wiping effectiveness of some over performing, off-map abilities

Adjust some of meta dominating units (primarily Soviet) to improve strategic / competitive diversity

Improve strategic diversity and quality of life by making minor adjustments to redundant, underused and generalist units

Primary Focus

Revitalizing 2 – 3 underused commanders for each faction (more info to come)

Continuing the work from the Fall Balance Preview’s highest rated changes

Secondary Focus

Adjustments to units dominating the current Soviet meta in competitive play

* Lend Lease Commander

* Maxims & Penals adjustments

* Conscripts

Adjustments to select heavy tanks that are currently over performing in team games

* OKW Panther V

* Elefant

* Jagdtiger

Adjustments to vet 4 and 5 of select OKW units that trade too cost effectively at higher veterancy (More info to come)

Adjustments to OKW and UKF Forward Retreat Points to come with a trade-off and become an interesting choice for the player rather than a guaranteed decision (primarily affects team games)

Adjustments to select Off-map abilities to reduce the effectiveness of frustrating, one-click squad wipes

General improvements to help with quality of life and strategic diversity

GENERAL

Blitzkrieg/Overdrive/War Speed/Step On It

* These movement boost abilities will now cease when the vehicle receives an engine critical.

Forward Retreat Points

* UKF FRP requires Company Command Post.

* OKW FRP requires either a Mechanized or Schwerer Panzer Headquarters established.

* OKW Battlegroup unable to reinforce if cut-off from friendly territory.

* Reinforcement cost increased by 20% while FRP ability is active

* 2 minute cooldown when FRP ability is deactivated

Sandbags and Ghosting

* All sandbags standardized to 240 health and 35 armor.

* Ostheer sandbags build-time from 60 to 45

* Units that have been in combat in the past 3 seconds will cause all unfinished enemy ghostbags within 4 radius to immediately deconstruct

Repair Speeds

USF Rear Echelon & British Royal Engineers:

Vet 0 repair speed reduced from 2 to 1.6

Vet 2 repair bonus decreased from 1 to 0.5

Heavy Sapper upgrade (sappers only) decreases repair speed from 2 to 0.525

Sturmpioneers

Vet 0 repair decreased from 3 to 2

Squad Behaviour

* Added a squad AI behaviour where individual models in squads assume varying postures while fighting the enemy (without changing their position) - i.e. Elite squads will prefer a crouching animation for some of their members, whereas non-elite squads will also drop prone to the ground.

* Fixed a disparity where low-member squads also suffered from the most densely-packed formations (making them even more vulnerable to AoE weapons)

* Assist each squad in their role (e.g., the new reinforced wedge formation will make paratrooper squads always have their thompsons at the front line) - Make each squad feel more unique

* Squad formations are now, once again, more fluid while the squad is moving. In addition to improving immersion, this will also help the individual squads spread out better to make a better use of their formations.

* Allied squads once again, assign support weapons (e.g., bazookas) to flanks rather than the core of the formation

Smoke Barrages

* Activating smoke barrages will now only order one unit at a time. Previously if multiple mortars were selected, all units would fire smoke at the target position

Fuel and Munition Caches

* MP cost increased from 200 to 250

_Garrisoning _

* Load time for buildings increased to 1 (per model)

* Max load time increased to 3.25 (entire squad)

* Unload time for buildings increased to 0.5 (per model)

As arguably the best non-doctrinal heavy tank in COH2, we felt that the unit offered too much benefit to spam and was increasingly dominate when produced in numbers. To encourage players to diversify their late game tech, we have made the following changes:

Decreased moving accuracy from 0.65 to 0.5

Elefant

Damage has been reduced to prevent the Elefant from two-shotting most Allied tanks.

Damage from 320 to 300

Pop-cap increased from 16 to 18

Vet 2 +10 % armor bonus removed

Reload time decreased from 5.8 - 6.7 to 5.2 - 5.6 (reload time does not include wind-up)

* Removed critical hit modifier

Stuka close air support

Fixed an issue where satchels were dealing more damage to friendly infantry than enemy infantry.

PTRS Ready Aim Time reduced from 2 to 1.25 (affects all PTRS variants)

Dshka

The Dshka HMG has proved to be exceedingly cost effective and thus the adjustments made to the unit below will bring it more in line with its performance and make it less of a spammable unit.

Increased reinforcement cost for vanilla crew from 15 to 20.

Traverse speed decreased from 90 to 38

Suppression decreased from 0.00044 to 0.00030.

Vet1: Added a Received Accuracy modifier of 0.92

Vet2: Molotov range replaced with increased Molotov throw speed

Vet3: Reduced Received accuracy modifier modifier from 0.6 to 0.707

* Can only be built in captured territory (also affects OST trench)

Firefly

Due to the Firefly's range and accuracy, when combined with the Comet or when multiple Firefly's are fielded, this combination of tank power can prove to be overly dominate (primarily in team games). To compensate, the following changes have been made:

Moving accuracy from 0.75 to 0.55

Fixed an issue where certain units could ‘double shot’.

Fixed an issue where pinned squads under the effects of Raid Operation would be able to capture points with the ability on.

Fixed an issue where it was not possible to access the same abilities between certain units. This includes, Lieutenants, Sappers and Tommies.
