Current SU85 vet2 receives big nerf. The change from 0.7x reload to 1.3x penetration is just a cover. Actually, its dps bonus reduces greatly from 1/0.7=1.43x to 1.3x.

In other word, that's 30% reduction for vet 2 bonus, no less.

Welcome to Kite Kaze Kampfgruppen Lehr mod for Company of Heroes 2.



This mod will change the current Ostheer/Wehrmacht faction into Kampfgruppen Lehr faction.

This new faction is harder to play with. Concentrating on early advantage, Kampfgruppen Lehr is blessed with large number of light armors. However, the downside of the faction is poor late game firepower.

The tech tree can be advanced by either upgrading for better infantry equipment, or repairing the Tiger Tank. To balance the faction, the repair cost for Tiger Tank is very high, but can be reduced with each Infantry Equipment upgrade.

The Kampfgruppen Lehr unit deployment style is unique. Now instead of purchasing single unit, you are forced to request bundle of units within battlegroup, which is themed for this faction. Although you cannot call the unit individually, the bundle in total has cheaper cost compare to other factions, so why not?

The Ostheer commander abilities are also replaced, please refer below for ability change:
Tiger/Tiger Ace Tank=>Redeploy Tiger Tank
Redeploy current tiger tank if lost, cost are increased for each redeploy.

Elefant Tank Destroyer=>Armor Assault Battlegroup
Call in Puma, Panzer IV, Panther for very cheap cost, but they will be relocated after a while.

Panzer Tactician=>German Armor Reserve.
Replace lost medium or heavy tank with Panzer IV Ausf H up to two units.

Spotting Scope=>Black Out
Disable minimap icon of all players. Allow you to take advantage of confusion among enemy. But beware, it works both ways.

Mortar Halftrack/Trench=>Deep Strike Operation
Drop fallschirmjager on frontline territory. They will retreat after half a minute.

(This area is still in development)

Axis fanboys are immediately on the scene and reject the idea without give it a single thought.

Actually, this is good idea, because USF sacrifice their call-in, which is very essential for this faction, for air superiority.

But the Redistribute Resources should increase resource over time, not like old version.

The point is, you will often see 2 m36 blocking each other path, resulting stupid vehicle lost.

I wish m36 has nearly same cost and effectiveness as firefly while m10 become current m36.

Demolition charges
• Should be defused once detected

Engineer will go to demolition to defuse once they are idle, the demo owner press the button and you know what's next.

And no, preventing demolition from exploding when they are detected is impossible since coh1.

T-34/85
• Move to Soviet Tier 4. The new T-34/76 changes are very good, but the T-34/76 is NOT a Tier 4 unit.
• Increase T-34/85 penetration from from 160/140/120 to 190/180/170
• Increase scatter distance max from 5.0 to 7.5 to balance out AT buff.
• Replace vet 1 ‘Capture Territory*’ ability with ‘Flanking Speed’

T-34/76
• Move to Soviet Tier 3
• Replace vet 1 ‘Capture Territory*’ ability with ‘Flanking Speed’

Agree with this but I think Soviet should have one more tier between tier 3 and 4, this tier unlock t34 76 and su76.

KV-2
The KV-2 is underperforming for its cost, even with the buffs. 70 range is not enough for a unit that must be immobile to function properly.

• Increase range from 70 to 85
• Increase damage from 240 to 320

These buff should only be applied when KV-2 in lock down mode.



The rest is OK.

But you forget IL-2, M42 atgun, b4 RNG cannon.

And terrible commanders such as NKVD, Tank Hunter and Defense.
