Bish, that's 4 maps not 3... ???
mh im also ready with the patch and have no problems selecting the soviets
pls dont remove vet bonuses for conscripts
it is much more motivating to have veterancy bonuses
now they will be spammy idiots again....
1.501 seems to fix it. thanks a lot :).
Had to create my own shortcut (see above) as the launcher took forever to check for available updates before it allowed to hit "Play". I know the server is busy now but is there an option to not wait for the check?
Bish, that's 4 maps not 3... ???Karachev isn't new. I've played it in 1.4.
Eastern Front Launcher Dont Works ???
This is just a suggestion but maybe a thread should be made in the bugs and tech support about patch 1.5 not working :P. It would help seperate the comments about 1.5 and the comment about not having 1.5 :P
Horay for the new patch though ;D
OK, found it. To save others some time, in the launcher:1.501 seems to fix it. thanks a lot :).

There is, check settings ;)

Guys can i ask what does "Rubar" mean ? :D
Download hotfix? 1.5.0.1Allready did :)
Uhm guys the Mech squad can only build the 37mm AA gun and the 85mm in the challenge mode ? Or they can build in Skirmish too ?
Hi guys, I am downloading the incremental patch 1.4 to 1.5 at present. Should I also D/L the 1.501 when I'm finished?
Downloading now. I read that you guys added the 85 mm gun. YES I finally get to see the gun in 3D. The last time I saw this gun in a game was in CC3.
are sharpshooters not meant to be used at all before upgrading? Because they aren't very effective they are like 1 man conscript squads. I thought they still should 1 shot killed. I guess they are cheap capping unit but any other way to use them? Seems silly to have anti-inf unit that cant even hurt pioneers.
which sense should it have that basic sniper unit can kill with one shot?
nobody would upgrade them if they are already like a sniper...

no one is going to use them unupgraded so might as well build them upgraded. 1 shot kill wouldnt be bad at all if you lowered fire rate or accuracy and range of fire, If the shot hit right now you hardly notice.
The soviets have changed from an easy to play faction to a hard, but at least late game they aren't hurt as bad by resources anymore.
i just think its silly and misleading to leave a totally worthless unit in game. I wasted 2 games yesterday figuring out how to use them but they are unusable if winning is your goal. You shouldn't have to upgrade a unit to use it at all.
For fucks sake these crashes don't occur in Pvp so the obvious problem is the AI, robotnik is already working furiously on these issues. If you are gonna complain about crashes then do something helpful and post some ScarLogs. If you don't want to do that then play in an actual match.
This patch was designed to fix most balance issues between pvp and add some new stuff here and there. The highlight of this patch ISN'T FORTRESS MODE FFS.
Honestly who cares about the AI...its for compstomp noobs, and increasing AI intelligence will only promote compstompers coming to EF.
You know guys, "comp stomping" isn't so bad. Its a way for people to practice.
PS I like the new Sharpshooter design. :)
You seem to forget that a large portion of our audience enjoy playing against CPU AI, whether it is to practice tactics, because they don't like playing under competitive conditions or maybe they just want to kick back and play a 'relaxing' and maybe predictable game. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and we will continue to cater for such players.
Nice tip for spotting camouflage uints thanks Cranialwizard.PS I like the new Sharpshooter design. :)
:D
Thing took a while to come up with the idea for, we were trying to nerf the Sharpshooter team in an effort to make it balanced but no matter how you slice it even if you countersnipe you either get countersniped back or just a bucket of arty dumped on you. And that's not fair.
But I must say, giving a key tip here. The Spotter + Sniper is a VERY, good combo. The Sniper's range is a bit beyond is LOS. If you see an enemy sniper, move both teams up to the front line and engage. If you are having trouble countersniping, use Mark Target next time he reveals himself. Once he's been marked he can't hide in camo anymore, and just target him with your sniper!
Mark Target also reveals other camo'd units. (PaKs, Storms, Hetzer, Kets)
I really like Kalach and Lemburg maps they're pretty cool.

Leningrad is supposed to be a no room to manoeuvre shitfest uber-lulz map like Scheldt, there's no real strategy to it... find the space to build a howitzer if you can and just bomb the crap out of the PE base.
or if you go russians, katyushas, arty base, gow and the new 76mm emplacement. sniper arty, command squad arty. :DLeningrad is supposed to be a no room to manoeuvre shitfest uber-lulz map like Scheldt, there's no real strategy to it... find the space to build a howitzer if you can and just bomb the crap out of the PE base.
Leningrad is fun against AI.
HUmmel, Howitzers and other artillery units are the way! :)
Makes the best RTS of all time even better. Would love to see the Japanese added on the German side, if that's even possible.
was the achilles changed somehow? i found a mention of it but i've since lost where it was.
Achilles
* Removed AP shells from Achilles but given Sherman Firefly bonus when CCT is near.
* Achilles has a new build icon (RMC).
I have just played a versus AI match i played as Weh and 3 other Wrh AI (ex-ex-hard) and the opponents AI are Sovieis ( ex-ex-ex-hard) and i have to say that the Soviet are pretty smart they know how to use NIs and TH with PTRDs and other various kinds of tank (better than in the past for not spamming SU-122) but there appear a few problems: my Weh AI are quite passive, they just kept their Pz4 and Stug 4 at their base and not tried to help me ( still their pioneers are helpful when support my tanks) another thing, have you guys seen a tiger, panther and Pz4 chasing after a SU-76 or a T-34 (single) ? My tiger shot twice at the SU-76 and my Panther shot 1 but the SU-76 ( it supposes to have thin armor) still can escape and either the T-34 with a nearly running out HP bar still escape my tiger and panther shots without being damage anything !!
Mr Q Said, " My tiger shot twice at the SU-76 and my Panther shot 1 but the SU-7 ( it supposes to have thin armor) still can escape and either the T-34 with a nearly running out HP bar still escape my tiger and panther shots without being damage anything !!"i wish you were a dev for world of tanks :(
I believe what Mr Q was suggesting is that the SU-76 and T34 have too strong armour when his two tiger shots and one panther shot didn't finish them off. That's not a comment about play versus AI, but it also isn't a very representative example. Now, if he'd done the same test 3-4 times and always had the same result, that would have been useful info, but one occasion really only shows that he was unlucky that time.
Of course, I have to say that personally I don't have a problem with this in terms of balance anyway. As far as I'm concerned, if three heavy tank shots don't kill an SU-76 (were they against front armour?) that's just something which happens in CoH tank battles sometimes. Even if the SU-76 is supposed to have weak armour, having it one-shot-killed on a regular basis would make it massively underpowered for an anti-tank weapon.
Dear all,
My latest patch of eastern front I have is 1.2.0.0... Could I just applied patch 1.5 or do I have to apply also patch 1.3 and 1.4 before I could install 1.5?
Everyone knows what happens when AI reaches it's critical mass. This is a fact and will never change... unless robotnik find something about it you will have to deal with it ;D.
