Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

nice to see that you that update

This mod is focused on items that I do not agree with. For example, Right now I do not like the current medium tank play. It feels like the only medium tank that are consistent vs infantry is the T34/76 with its mgs and the Shermans HE rounds. This is why I made the gun reliable on killing one model per shot per squad while the hardly noticeable mgs now actually mean something. The hull machine gun can pitch in more damage so vehicle orientation means quite a bit. This also affects TD with MGs such as the Panther and Comet In the meanwhile, other mediums such as the ostwind have been adjusted as well. The Ostwind and Centaur can deal with blobs better with suppression and OKW have a cheap short barrel P4 to help lob rounds at infantry.

The one thing I am not sure right now is how the interaction will work out with AT infantry. From live tanks can now have an additional 160 health but however there are more AT options out there. Combat engineers have PTRS x4, Ostheer have PzB 39 weapon racks, USF infantry is generally a bit more durable, and the Infantry section can pick up a third weapon and have a snare. OKW maybe a bit lacking however, the AT hetzer does have better gun than the puma and the lieg with its now direct fire now has improved penetration, which I may have not mention. Instead of a flat 35, it has a 40,60,80 pen for 80 damage.

USF looks like crap

How so?

New update that nobody asked for.

Weapon teams can now only no longer capture points while in combat. While in combat is defined as not receiving fire. They can still fire and capture. Three second duration until they can capture once again.

Soviet's M3A1 Scout car, Ostheer's 250 halftrack, USF's WC 51, OKW's Kubel, and UKF's Universal Carrier now all can capture, while not in combat. Same as above.

ML 20's and Lehf 18's now have access to smoke barrages.
-smoke barrages are free and are on their own cooldown.

Medium tanks entities per squad per shot changed from two to one. All tanks Coaxil and Hull machine guns damages have been increased to make them more consistent vs infantry. Now players have to keep in mind the front mg to inflict or avoid maximum damage. This also affects the Valentine, Stuart, Greyhound, and Panzer 2

Hmm, looking at the requirements/ext, there's "required squad upgrade" and "required any list", which has 2 items under it that are labeled as required_player_upgrade. I just deleted the the entire "required any list" section. However, I didn't notice any change in-game. Is there a button on the rifle squads UI to activate it?

It looks like the ability is no longer on the riflemen, but it can be restored. Just add the ability to Riflemen SBPS and adjust the requirements of the ability.

The require squad upgrade (not in the any) is refering to a Riflemen Upgrade from an event from Ardennes Assault and not having it active.

One item from the any is referencing the commander ability in multiplayer. This makes it so say an ally drop a 1919 and another USF player picks it up. This player can NOT use the ability if they do not have the commander active as well. If you want this ability non doctrinal, delete this.

The other one in the any references the Mechanized commander from Ardennes Assault, who has access to 1919s. This makes a scripted 1919 Riflemen does not have the ability unless it is the mechanized commander. If you want this ability non doctrinal, delete this as well. This is why usually Ostheer and Soviets have separate single player and MP, multiplayer. Theater uses both... Hence why some things are totally imbalanced to near impossibility now.

the requirements determine weather something is can be selected or shown.
example: Ostheer's Battlephase 1 allows grenadiers to upgrade with a LMG 42
some upgrades hide if you select different upgrade such as flamers and minesweepers.
An observe hiding is USF Buildings. You may notice it looks like an officer but in actuality it is an upgrade. Upon completion the is an reinforcement action to summon the office. Once the upgrade is complete it has a requirement action for itself.
is_present: FALSE Meaning you do not have it. Alternatively you could set it to true and the requirement inside of a not.
reason: display so once it does become present (true) this upgrade is no longer displayed

The same officer squad this has a requirement of player upgrade as well.
is_present: TRUE
reason: usage and display so once it does become researched the will display and able to be used
if you want it displayed but not usable, set the reason to usage


required any list: think this as a or statement. For example: in order for Soviets T3, they require one of T2 or T1. All means both.

required squad upgrade (SBPS upgrade), entity upgrade (EBPS), player upgrade (when an upgrade in the UPGRADE tab's owner_type is set to player). For example, conscripts molotov upgrade.


Sorry if this not exactly coherent but the gist of is that the ability or upgrade must on the squad/entity. This will allows them to use the ability. Then, you use requirement to only enable the ability later on or to disable it earlier/later on.

This is not a Relic preview patch. This is a personal mod.

This will most likely my last mod I will release for Company of Heroes 2. I will continue to update this mod for balance and bug fixing. This mod was develop on and mostly off in this last year, so there maybe some of the recent updates that might conflict. This mod tackles a lot of design issues I have with this game. This mod largely separates Ostheer and OKW in design, as best I could.
