Eastern Front News #26.11.2010

[Rikard Blixt]

Hello Eastern Front fans,

We have some news from the front:

One of the most important bugs that always was lurking inside EF since it's beginnings, has been fixed. What bug I'm talking about?

The Strawman Bug (Recrew Bug)

Thanks to Cope, who found a way to fix the recrew-issue; props to him. Now the soviets will be able to recrew all kind of heavy weapons like the original factions do.

However if this changes are committed to 1.30 (1.24 just renamed because it's a pretty big patch by now), besides this patch is already behind-schedule, will be delayed a little longer, to balance this new feature.

Maybe Soviets can recrew only their lost-in-battle weapons.
Anyway, good job.

[Ganoya]

This patch will correct slowdown problems ?
But, I have to say this patch is very nice. =)
Good job guys

That would be darn bad. I hope it's not the way Devs see a solution to the balance issue.

[revoluzer]

Yeah, you are great!!!

If you lose a MG to the enemy, he deserves to use it!

Also, the possible rebalancing Rizz meant includes changing crew sizes of all soviet weapons (you don't need extra men now, cause you can use cheap conscripts to recrew weapon in case of FUBAR)

[Shadowmetroid]

Praise Mother Russia!

Finally. Good job devs, and thanks much to Cope!

Why? Soviets are already powerful in Late Game, they don't need MG42 or PaK38 to beat Axis forces.

Because, in my opinion, it looks really stupid, and right now there is no valid excuse for it any more.

P.S.: Please, guys, don't start flaming. I just don't want to see a bunch of "stupid commies" who don't know how to use hmg. Well, that's me, sorry if I hurt your feelings.
