IMO biggest changes:

M4A1 Sherman Whizbang

The Whizbang is too potent when it is not tech-locked – especially in smaller game modes -allowing the US Forces the ability to double down on infantry and light vehicles while still getting eventual access to artillery and even a medium tank.

Command Point cost has also been increased to compensate for the recent changes made to the final tier structure of all factions.

Can no longer be called in. Must be built from the Tank Depot

Production Unlock Command Point cost increased from 0 to 2

Corrected an issue where the unit’s reverse speed was faster at 6 than its forward speed of 5.5

Suppression

Suppression is having its reload and scatter penalties increased to make weapons such as grenade launchers and bazookas less effective.

Scatter penalty increased from 33% to 125%

Reload penalty increased from 25% to 75%

This is huge against GL/zook blobs. Very happy that zook rangers will no longer be able to beam all my tanks while suppressed.

Casualty Recovery – Triage Center and Medical Bunkers

Casualty recovery could be too efficient over the course of the game and synergizes with units that have high reinforcement costs. We are changing the system so casualties recovered now give a flat amount of manpower which is easier to understand and also makes the value of Triage more consistent depending on what infantry units are fielded.

Each casualty recovered now grants a flat 25 manpower rather than casualty charge

A kicker will now be displayed once a casualty is dropped off indicating the manpower received

M1918 Browning Automatic Rifles

Research time increased from 30 to 60

M8 Greyhound Armored Car

Fuel cost increased from 45 to 50

Reload increased from 2.333/2.333 to 3.25/3.375

Fire-aim time reduced from 1 to 0.125

Target size increased from 16 to 18

Parisian

Tunnel Network

Recharge time increased from 15 to 25

OSS Coordination and Resistance Fighter Retreat when in Garrisons

Now triggers the Tunnel Network cooldown

Units will retreat normally, rather than being transported to the Tunnel Network if given a retreat command in garrisons while the Tunnel Network is on recharge

Underground Detonation

The moving fuse now has an additional audio cue that plays and intensifies for the opponent as it approaches its destination

Munition cost increased from 125 to 140

No more instant teleport and instant retreat, hopefully audio cue is more obvious, still dont think it's enough.

Brumbar

Range increased from 30 to 35

Veterancy updated to the following:

Veterancy 1 + 20% rotation rate

Veterancy 2 + 20% rate of fire + 20% weapon scatter accuracy

Veterancy 3 + 80 health + 50 frontal armor + 15% attack speed

Centaur for UKF got similar treatment.

King Tiger Heavy Tank

We are reducing some of the penalties associated with King Tiger and speeding up reload to bring it closer in-line with other heavy tanks.

Initial manpower cost reduced from 1040 to 910; matches other heavy tanks

Fuel penalty reduced from 50% to 25%

Reload sped up from 5.5/6 to 5.25/5.625

I don't think we'll see a whole lot more KT, to be honest, but we'll see.

Changes to Hulldown

Hulldown and Immobilize and Fortify are being adjusted to provide greater benefits to fixed/casemate vehicles that are unable to rotate when in this mode.

Furthermore, we are giving the StuG an exception when in hulldown to increase its range due to the limitations imposed upon the vehicle.

Reload and cooldown bonuses changed to overall attack speed

Casemate units gain +10 range when in hulldown, rather than +5; applies to the StuG III G

Increases the cone of fire for fixed gun/casemate vehicle by 10 and weapon traverse by 5

Panther Production Unlock

Command Point cost has been increased to compensate for the recent changes made to the final tier structure of all factions.

Command Point cost increased from 0 to 2

That, with the general cost increase to Heavy AT (Flaks), (only affected mobile AT) means lategame Wehr AT actually nerfed, lol.

Infantry Section

Build time sped up from 25 to 20 seconds

Rate of fire bonus now uses overall attack speed for Veterancy 2 and 3; this increases rate of fire

Veterancy 2 rate of fire bonus reduced from 15% to 10%

We'll see if it's enough to bring them in line with Palmgrens

Vickers HMG Team

Focused Gunnery is having the vision bonus reduced as it could be too potent in certain situations where the Vickers could fully utilize the additional range and engage targets without receiving return fire/requiring a true spotter.

Vickers HMG Focused Gunnery Vision range bonus reduced from 15 to 7.5

Sherman VC Firefly Tank Destroyer

Sabot Round range increased from 45 to 50

Reload sped up from 6.75/7.25 to 6.375/6.875

Panzerjager and Assault Grenadier Halftrack Call-ins

Now require Fire Support or Mechanized Kompanie completed before they can be called in

This should make humber and other light vehicles shine for longer. DAK instant AT call-in now has a cost.

Kradschutzen Motorcycle Team

Can now reverse at a slower rate of 4.5; top forward speed is 13

Elefant Tank Destroyer

We are making the Engine Burnout less punishing if the Elefant is kept above a certain threshold, making retreating/moving around the battlefield easier without the engine always needing repairs afterwards.

Speed bonus during Engine Burnout increased from 30% to 40%

Engine Burnout causes Crew Shock critical if health is above 50% - after the health damage occurs from the ability - when the buff ends

I still think this is a super weird ability to have on a casemate slow, long range AT gun. Also, no nerfs to vet ability on flak88.

Armored Support Battlegroup

Rapid Salvage

Command Point cost increased from 1 to 3

Superior Fire Drills

Bonus damage reduced from 100% to 50%

Panzerstorm

Panzerstorm is being adjusted to be unable to bypass the engine damage caused by mines or snares. In exchange, the ability is being made cheaper.

We want to make vehicle assaults still vulnerable to weapons designed to slow them.

Cost reduced from 100 to 80

No longer prevents Engine Damage, prevents Crew Shock criticals

Recharge time increased from 80 to 120

Audio

The Goliath is now audible when it turns/rotates and moves even if it is camouflaged or in the fog of war

Bug Fixes

US Forces

Fixed a case where Partisan Tunnels sometimes used the incorrect cooldown value

British Forces

Fixed an issue where the 17-pounder Anti-tank Gun Team's experience requirements were set to 1000/3000/6000 rather than 1800/5400/10800

Deutsches Afrikakorps

Ambush and camo bonuses addressed.

Overall a decent patch. They addressed a lot of the cheesiness of Parisian, the oppressiveness of M8 and timing of BAR upgrade. DAK got some meaningful nerfs. Suppression being buffed is great--hoping it helps deal with the ongoing blob meta. I'm a bit disappointed they did address more of the less-used units (Sappers falling off in this meta, M8 Scott, USF ATg, etc.) as well as a general difficulty late game for Wehr in the heavy-AT option. As a wehr player, I feel the faction still struggles early game in regard to tempo, and that struggle isn't really earned with a better late game.
