There’s three of us working on this patch, doing various aspects of it – as always Olhausen is working on the biggest job – the doctrine overhaul. Starbuck is continuing on with his job of creating and adding camo bushes to vehicles, and also chipping away at the bug fix list. I’ve been doing some work on the Win Condition Pack.
Tuning pack changelog:
AEF:
. Added WP rifle grenade to 83rd Veteran riflemen in RTC dispatch.
. Removed assault bonus charge ability from Captain Squad

. Reduced by 35% the damage of all light artillery & mortars vs garrison cover.
. Moved support riflemen to Armored Doctrine.
. Removed White Phosphorus rounds from 75mm Pack howitzer. Now WP belongs only to the infantry doctrine.

3.1.6 a Changelog Update
Infantry Footspeed
- All infantry speed reduced from 3 m/s to 2 m/s
- All light/medium support weapons speeds reduced from 3 m/s to 2 m/s
- All heavy support, AT and mobile artillery weapons speeds reduced from 3 m/s to 1.8 m/s
Infantry Build & Reinforcement Times
- Build times adjusted using the following formula:
- Common unit x2
- Semi elite troops x3
- Elite troops x4
- Super Elite troops x5
- All reinforcement times are set based on the above formula as well.
This is done to prevent the spamming of elite (and units capable of vetting up to levels above three)
Quality of Life
- All factions have a max CP set to 99 from 32, this is to eliminate the rolling visual and audio cues when the tech tree is fully unlocked each time the CP counter rolls around.
- All tech tree panels for Waffen and US have been updated to remove the costs, this sets us up to not have to redo the panels each time we make any small changes to the pricing etc.
Camouflage Bushes
- All vehicles with camouflage bushes ability now requires Vet 1 to unlock
- Bushes now give a sight and range bonus of 10m
- All objects used are set to be invisible in the fog of war
- All “moveable turret” tanks will also have Camouflage specifically made for Winter maps as well. (only works if a map supports/requires cold weather and campfires)
.AEF :100% complete
.Wafen: 100% complete
.Soviet: WIP
.Brits: WIP
.Wehr: 100% complete
Text/UI
- Many of the in game descriptions and UI text has been updated to better represent the abilities that they are attached to.
- Hold fire ability set to position 34 (third row, fourth column) from 23 to remove the conflicting ability when setting vehicles into prioritize vehicles mode
- All Resupply vehicles now have an extra icon in their blue symbol separating them from transport trucks
- All vehicles that are able to spot units in camouflage now have an extra symbol(eye) in their build menu to help players understand their role and recon ability. Specifically, these are the M20, Bren Carrier, Puma, T70 and Sdkfz 221.
Pending Changes
(may not be implemented in this patch)Infantry Speed Rework
We are working on a new mechanic to replace the old basic sprint and elite sprint one, we want to have it working so that speed increases incrementally as veterancy levels go up.
Call-in Unit Cool Down Times
Right now there are no real consequences to losing an expensive or high value call in other than the lost resources. One of the ways we are looking at is to lengthen the cool downs for call ins, making them far more of a valuable resource on the battlefield that need to be looked after and not thrown away in foolish battlefield decisions.

Incoming Beta Changes
Speeds
Increased speed from 2.0 to 2.8 m/s for infantry
Light and Medium Support weapons 2.7 m/s
Heavy Support Weapons 2.6 m/s
All US Support weapons get “rapid maneuvers” ability – adds 1.5 m/s for 10 sec
UI/UX
Group Sprint works for most units of the same selection group
All fighting infantry added to selection group usf_riflemen
All rangers added to usf_rangers
This allows for sprint, prone and grenade to be accessible when in a group selection.

@death_kitty rather than modding every faction at once and then finding something not working well I’m testing this on the US first so we can test them before adding them to all other factions.
We won’t be hiding it behind a vet 1 requirement though.

This is good news. The group abilites sound interesting. The rapid movement ability is how other mods allow the AT guns and weapons teams to (sprint) as well. It works nicely.
On another note, I was playing Spearhead’s rifle doctrine (infanrty doc) last night, and as far as I know, all of the abilities used for all their docs are taken straight from commanders in the game, but I could be wrong about this. Is that where all abilities come from or can you create your own?
The reinforce ability SH uses for riflemen is similar to the reinforcement depo you were planning/using, but it reinforced an entire squad if 3 or more are lost, so even if you lose half of the squad you get a new one and I believe it was far less expensive to use.
Looks like you may be using the soviet reinforce ability which requires squad wipe for replacement. I am only going off the Spearhead US rifle and Soviet reserve docs as they both have a reinforcement ability and they are slighly different. The US version is much better. Plus, the little emblom that pops up in the riflemen portrait, when the reinforcement depo ability is in use for your infantry doc, is that of the soviet reinforce ability. Not sure if that makes any difference or if it is purely asthetic. I am curious about this though.
Looking forward to the next installment of infantry doc goodness.

For all intents and purposes they’re using the exact same ability as us, just with different settings, we can set any number of entities lost and it will replace with a squad back, they’ve got three losses = one new squad. At the moment we’re looking at a 1:1 replacement – any six entities (from the list) lost = a new rifleman squad.
The only reason ours still shows the Soviet icon in the portraits is that we haven’t replaced it yet.
Hopefully this clears it up, there’s no way to set it so that the squads automatically reinforce their losses that I can see. The best I could suggest would be to give the incoming squads a merge ability but that’s not ideal for what we have planned.

much better, Hold fire does not work on mortar pit, but all other bugs with it seem to be gone. Spotter still moves when in binoccular mode, and demo ranger states can build two, but only allows one. Other stuff is great, I was buiding rifles like they were going out of style. They do not reinforce fast though, are they supposed to? They build faster than I can reinforce one man from the team. Doc is way better now. I will keep testing as I did not get to build everything last time. Great work.

Hi Vinny, we’re pretty sure we know why that some units aren’t reinforcing in the “correct” time.
Common riflemen – 3 sec
Rapid Deployment Infantry – 0.5sec
If you’re trying to reinforce a unit you built before the rapid deployment upgrade it will still have its 3 sec per entity reinforcement time. All riflemen built after the upgrade will have 0.5 sec per entity.
There’s nothing we can do about this sadly.

Some things still seem to be out of sorts:
Engineer still shows rear echelon
Spotter still moves with binoculars on
Mortar Pit will not hold fire
Descriptions still state you can build 2 demo rangers and 2 105s, but you cannot
Requests:
I assume you have not added evasive action to demo squad because of the flamethrower. Can we have the option to pick flame or bazooka, instead of just adding a bazooka, so that if we pick the zook, we get evasive action?
Not having evasive action really limits this piece. It makes setting charges almost impossible without microing someone else with smoke to get them into an area. They are the only ranger squad, aside from captain squad, that cannot camouflage and move into enemy territory. I would like to be able to sneak up and lay a charge on a bunker or bridge, or whatever, but they cannot.
Also, can we get flares or booby traps instead of the stick charges? The doc has spotters and a sniper, but flares would be nice and actually, booby trapping points would be even better. That is a demo squad function and does not even require evasive action to do it. Please consider making this more of a demo squad than a flamethrower squad. I would rather just have an option to have combat engineers called with the ragtag or as another build option if flame is that important. Just my thoughts, I think the unit could do a lot more than it does now if had evasive action and or booby traps and or flares.
Keep up the amazing work. This doc gets better every build.

3.1.6 d Beta
Adjusted “braindead” Wehrmacht AI – now appears to behave like other factions in internal tests.
Please test against Wehrmacht on any difficulty and let us know what you think – also if you notice any lag can you please let us know what map you were playing on as this seems to be a common cause for lag spikes we are noticing.
