For anyone not as dedicated but still interested, most stats can be found on
the CoH2 stats site
or
the CoH2 stats spreadsheet

tensaioni's site or my spreadsheet are good for a lot of the more common stats, but we cant list everything. it would be too overwhelming and make it difficult to read. abilities are another thing that is hard to put on a website or a spreadsheet. i was only able to list some of the grenades and artillery abilities so far.

As for reading the files, I've been mainly working with the .json format, which I tend to open with http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/
I checked out Notepad++ but there doesn't seem to be an option for collapsing some of the file's branches. In the screenshot it does seem to have that option. Does it only apply to the .xml format? If yes, I'll stick to the online editor, I guess... :/

this is possible to do in notepad++ for .txt, .json or .xml. xml is the hardest to read, but if you use .txt or .json, just go to language>L>Lua.

okay, but what do i do if i want awsd to move camera, middle mouse for tactical map, Q for attack move, i have no ide how this autohotkey thing works. i'm rly new at this

im assuming you dont use grid hotkeys. if you do, attack move would be Q instead of A

a::Left
s::Down
d::Right
w::Up
e::w
q::
	Send {a}
	Send {LButton}
Mbutton::Numpad0
return
Enter::
	Suspend
	Send {NumpadEnter}
return

this should work. it can get a little messed up why trying to type with wasd though. just make sure you never press numpad enter to start typing, since enter is the key that toggles wasd between arrows and letters.

Wooof, thank you so much for this valuable info!!! But according to this tab PM-41 and HM-36 mortars have same damage, and I thought 120mm mortar can inflict bigger damage due its caliber. I've never seen 82mm mortar wiping out the whole squad like HM-36 does.
Also, is it true that grens and panzergrenadiers have same hit points and armor? I thought panzergrenadiers are a lot harder to kill.

Thanks!!!

both mortars have the same damage. what youre seeing is the different AOE.

weapons with AOE dont do the same damage across the entire diameter of the circle. there are 3 areas within the AOE circle. there is a near radius, a far radius, and an AOE radius. units inside the near radius take the full damage. units between the near and far radius take damage that scales linearly from full damage down to 25% damage. any unit at far radius out to AOE radius takes only 25% damage.

near radius is usually 1/4 of the AOE radius. far radius is typically 1/2 of the AOE. so the larger the AOE radius, the more units that will take the full 80 damage. thats why 120mm wipes squads more frequently. to complicate things more, theres also accuracy which is applied on that AOE circle as well. mortars can actually miss units depending on how far they are from the center of the AOE.

i may not have explained that very well, its a little hard to put into words. i could draw up a diagram if its still not clear. also, grens and pgrens have identical hp and armor.

I no "follow" mode (I'd love a cool POV or a ability to just follow one unit around during battles)

i forget exactly how to do this. but you double click on something, either the unit portait or the symbol in the top right (something like that) and the camera will follow that unit. you can then zoom in and rotate the camera around to have somewhat of a POV effect. i like doing this with tanks. makes it look like a completely different game.

Yeah, I think the scatter change, as others have said, are aimed squarely at things like the T-70. But it also happens to affect other infantry killers, like Soviet armor overall, and the Ostwind (albiet that has a much larger AoE).

ostwind, p4, t70 and t34 all have the same AOE.
