Great video, so is the patch coming today, or this weekend? Also, why no Jagdtiger, that be great to have been seen. And how is the new Berlin different than the old Berlin?

This might sound like a very dumb question, but as I didn't see any Ostheer in the video, just old Wehr, I'm gussing the OH won't make it yet?

We have always stated that Ostheer is going to be released at the version 2.000, the version ready to be released is 1.600 so no one should expect to see OH in a gameplay trailer so early ;).

Is Heavy Mortar the upgrade for Medium Mortar and will it hinder the AI from build unit like it was in 1.0.0 or something else?

Both issues, that one you mention and the other one that belongs to zis-3/zis-2 were fixed a while ago.

Post by: bopokippo on February 02, 2012, 05:58:39 AM
lets see... things I've noticed quickly through a skim as changes. (taken in from the units page...) Maybe like an unofficial patch changes which granted is stupid seeing as they're coming up but I'll just do it anyway...

Virtually all abilities now cost munitions such as the Command Squad's Light artillery barrage

Conscript Cost Reduced to 217 and 7 man squad. Throw molotov now costs 10 munitions

Guards PPS-43 now costs 65 munitions. SVT-40 package costs 75. Leader starts with SVT-40. Both types of grenades cost 25 munitions. Smoke grenades are free.

Ingenery now cost 152 manpower. New "Assault Gear" upgrade for 100 manpower and 75 munitions. Dual ROKS-3 also available.

Sniper Precision Artillery now costs 150 munitions

New "Shtrafnyie Troops". Role detailed as basic Infantry. Armed with PPSh-41s and mosin nagants. A 6 population (presumably 6 man because of the 20 manpower reinforcement cost) squad costing 168 manpower. "Discipline" ability.

Sniper Ace now costs 700 manpower. Suppression shot costs 50 munitions, Precision Artillery costs 150 munitions, and One Man Army costs 50 munitions.

Strelky get the Stand Your Ground! ability

ZiS Support Gun now costs 290 manpower

IS-3 costs 500 manpower

ISU-152 gets "BLANK" ability. (Presumably not filled in yet.)

KV-1s (might have already been like this) are 10 population

KV-2 is 750 manpower

SU-122 has cage armor upgrade for 75 munitions

SU-76 costs 320 manpower and 50 fuel

SU-85 now seems to be a 600 manpower call-in


Well these are the things I've caught. Probably a few mistakes :P but whatever...

I advise you to watch the film, "Brest Fortress" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B11CLxzhqPg), where she is well shown.
And another question: why did you removed the trenches?!

Devs and balancers, thanks once again for an awesome new update.

Now I know you guys hate it when people are pushy and ask for anything to do with times or dates but do you think there is a chance we'll see this patch in the next 4 hours or so? Just wondering because that is the determining factor in whether I go to bed.

Just for your information:

Ingenery cost 150mp, Conscripts 220 and the Stravnjie don´t cost mp (only the reinforce cost is correct). All other costs are correct. However the descriptions are still missing :P
