Title: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: Dominic 'Dragon' Cassidy on January 30, 2010, 06:36:25 PM: Eastern Front Patch 1.02

'Pickle'

Okay, we have the second patch out now. We hope you enjoy these changes; as well as fixing some balance issues and bugs, 'Pickle' should also have drastically reduced the amount of crashes that people were experiencing. We are also providing EF Launcher 3.0, which includes an updated User Interface and some extra controls for advanced users. Please consult the Changelog (http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=2487.msg24802#msg24802) for full details.

Remember, you need patch 1.01 to install 1.02. Just update through the launcher.

Thank you for trying out the mod,

Eastern Front Team

Sorry man but really russians are just underpowered in mid game right now and soviet's early game is not that powerful.... So if you can't win russians just... pff... >:(

Amazing how you came to that conclusion within less than 1 hour from release...so, all you did was read the notes and then came back to post post same old 'unless you do what I think its unbalance blah blah'...you should learn to play more and complain less

Post by: renart on January 30, 2010, 07:58:14 PM: Love those tankhunter changes - now it finally makes sense!
Also the su85/100 changes are reasonabel! The spotting of Command squad and t70 was also badly needed as soviets were having a hard time against paras lately!! Conscript and sniper changes are also great!
Great patch - u r awesome!!!

Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: Leving on January 30, 2010, 08:58:04 PM: Yes, I think the big issues with the Russian faction at the moment is the middle game. They are unable to counter early german armour effectivley, which ultimately makes winning very difficult.

Increasing the power/accuracy of AT guns, and making them remanable might help solve this issue. Right now I find that as soon as the Germans are able to get out Pumas and IV's they are able to take over the game far to easily.

Thats my opinion anyway.

Confirmed bug, something went wrong when making the patcher filer, that somehow corrupted the T-34 Tank Rider Files.

Post by: CerealKiller on January 30, 2010, 09:13:35 PM: Nice changes, especially with the conscripts getting rifles, conscript zombies in team games fixed and the improved medic truck.

Post by: guldan on January 30, 2010, 10:33:26 PM: Patches new, and defects old - and it not criticism for my part!
1. Т-34 and and easy tanks flicker as т to patch.
2. Icons and on boards, those. - drawings too old.
Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: BurroDiablo on January 30, 2010, 10:36:18 PM: Icons will be updated in time, most likely the next patch with some other stuff.
Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: Zerstörer on January 30, 2010, 11:23:55 PM: Maybe you should try playing before complaining. We're aiming for a well balanced faction, not an OP one you can use to easily pawn your opponent. And its not like the changes are final....
You've endured 3 yrs of constant paching from relic and you didn't uninstall the game even after the 10th....I'm sure cyou can cope with our patching process...if not...tough!

Ребят, кто тут знает русский переведите мододелам что на карте Житомир постоянно вылетает, также есть вылеты на карте Сталинград. В остальном все стабильно.

Whoever knows how to translate this, please tell the modders that the maps Zhitomir and Stalingrad are causing the game to crash. Everything else is OK.

Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: iverieli on January 31, 2010, 10:00:04 AM: WOW - the Soviets got nerfed pretty hard.

There was some pretty good counters against them as Axis, now it seems they'll be target practice.

350 for a mortar you can't re-crew? T34 armor decreased? So now a simple schreck squad can take it out roughly within 3 shots when you're spending 360mp and 80 fuel? lol

IS-2 was the only reasonable counter to the vet 3 tank spam the Axis commonly use against Soviets, now since IS-2 armor is decreased, good luck with vet 3 Panthers, Tigers, and Jagd/King. Soviet AT guns are pretty weak and also cannot be re-crewed.

That being said, I'm very pleased that patches are being released quickly, and bugs are being addressed. Better than Relic!

Guys, you've obviously not played the game to come up with such balance complaints...

T34/76 has 650 health and the 85s have 700...WH shrek does 120 damage...that's 6 hits needed...7 if you're PE. That's more than Sherman/Cromwell can claim...and they cost more.

IS2 was WAY OP...and it will still beat down a vet3 Panther

Try using more combined arms/units and upgrades rather than the 1.0 conscript spam...quick T34 and then... IS2 win button

You're right, I checked after some games, T34 health is still ok. I thought you guys dropped it more significantly.

Historically and for the game, T34 have to be cheap (mass produced). The upgraded T34's are beauties but I think 70 fuel should have been maximum, as the progressive Axis vet is hard to compete with. IS2 is a good tank, but costs way too much, specially after the armor nerf.

I think we have to take in account that Soviets cannot re-crew any weapons which makes it that much heavier of a loss. So a mortar which costs 350 is devastating to lose so easily, since the enemy can take it, yet the player cannot re-crew it. This applies to all weapons, including the AT gun (and enemy weapons).

Middle game for Soviets is very difficult. I have to wait for 145 fuel to field any kind of armor while Axis are mowing down infantry with AC's, HT's, MHT's, etc. + infantry support. Tank Hunters stand no chance against this combo early-mid game.

If going T2, the losses of AT guns and mortars is terrible against good Axis players. Also, even with the Iginery upgrade, they get pinned even if the Axis infantry sneezes to closely.

I'm an Axis player in CoH, so I'm not trying to be bias - just accurate.

...and whats with the sniper team? They wont shoot when camoed??
Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: Zebra on January 31, 2010, 01:06:01 PM: 100% agreed. Spesially about non-recruting AT and mortars. It is still looks like "no sense unit" in cost+effectivness.
So, in my opinion soviets are VERY weak in mid game, if they are not mixed with americans.
Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: Zerstörer on January 31, 2010, 01:33:04 PM: PE is all about fast halftracks/scout cars, all vulnerable to to light arms fire and AT rifles. You can't ask the same from the Soviet faction.

Soviet armour comes at a comparable time as an M8/Puma while heavier armour like the T34 slightly later than a stug

EASTERN FRONT v1.0 - good!
Patch -1.01 - 1.02 - no good. I installed version 1.0 without patches.

Who cares? You can play with yourself
Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: Zebra on January 31, 2010, 02:20:14 PM: With all respect to moders team - 1.02 is another one step to convert soviet to "meat for beat fraction".
We played 4 matches 2v2 with different axis mix, the result is - NO CHANCE for russians.
It is not only my point.
Please do something though to at and mortar re-capturing.

Best regards.

Title: Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.02
Post by: mj23007 on January 31, 2010, 05:23:13 PM: First off excellent patch. Pretty much everything I am happy with. I think the only real problem left is the recrewing issue with mortars and AT-just kills a russian player not being able to recrew. The prices are spot on. its the recrew that hurts, I realize this is relics fault, but is it possible to get them to address this in the future?

LOVE the skins for the tank riders, I hope the IS 85,and or ISU152 and the strelky/guards get some new skins in the future.!!!!

NKVD upgrade and strelky upgrade is still seems a bit high. Would like to see them both at 100 to 125 munu. Right now most people just wait for guards because its one or the other in cost, and only 50 manpower differnece, if the strelky munu upgrade were cheaper their would be more incentive to use it.

That said, awesome patch, really think its perfect now. Bring on the OStheer! :D
