Profile of Adder

Updated with the near damage values as well.

More notes:
-Most weapons roughly double in DPS at close range.
-SMGs tend to triple.
-G43s only increase by about 40%, but still perform better than their original weapons.
-Penal Battalions are still beasts, holy shit. Check out their close range DPS compared to all other non-PG infantry.
-Grens are a little better up close vs. Conscripts.
-Getting shot by the maxim at point blank has comparable DPS to getting hit by a flamethrower. Minus the whole armor-ignoring, AoE effect of course.
-Pioneers are terrifying at close range. Well, as terrifying as non-combat troops can be.


I don't know if I should leave Shocks on with Mosin Nagant since that's not possible anymore, but I will for now for the sake of completeness (and in case of a patch reverting it).


All these stats are fun. It almost makes me want to go play some games.

Oh wait, Soviets are still broken.

This is why I was asking.

I'm sure there are a lot of issues with it, but I figure it's a good start.

Sort of. Most infantry weapons have "near" of 0 and a "far" of ~35.

If their "near" accuracy is .3 and their "far" accuracy is .6, and the shot it at at distance of 20, what does that mean the *actual* accuracy is?

I don't really see what's different here except for the double mortar, and that's only one mortar more different than most players.

With only 1 pio and 1 gren, you're going to be really slow at capping. By the time you have G/MG/G your opponent will have two MGs on the field and a third walking towards the front. Both of those MGs will easily force retreats on any unit they run into short of your MG in a building, which is easy to avoid.

I always upgrade an engineer with a flamer with my first 60 munitions, which can be used to force enemies out of buildings very early.

Scout Cars are useless IMO- Guards easily force them away. I don't see why Soviets would use a Maxim spam build without guards since it makes your mid game vulnerable to flammenwerfer and you don't need any more AI firepower as it is.

120mm mortar also wrecks German mortars. More range, larger AoE, more damage = death to German crew in often a single barrage.

I do think artillery is effective against a Maxim heavy build, but the question is whether you can live long enough to use it.

An interesting variant on the "no signs for German AP mines" occurred to me just now:

Allow German player to build the signs, but no mines, for a small munitions cost.

:-D
