Balance Update 1.1.4

Looks like they didn't fix the BUG when the British mortar dies and you try to tow it. Both drives are locked. By the way, the game will remain unbalanced. The Afrika Korps strategy is to do STUG and Marder. STUG is very cheap for the amount of armor. And the main thing, they didn't add the same color system as COMPANY OF HEROES 2. I always want to be the blue one, I get confused all the time. I am yellow, green, light blue, etc. Not to mention they didn't put the name of the players.

I just tested here, the British anti-aircraft CMP 15CWT still doesn't shoot down any planes. Are you sure you applied any changes to it?

I agree with the names of the players. We should be able to see who is who by clicking on an allies unit. But I disagree with your problem on colors. Back in CoH2 I always got confused in team games because each player was color blue on their screen, so when I said *yellow player*, because I was the yellow player for some people while 1 of my teammates was the yellow player for me. Everybody having unique colors is the right move in my opinion, and this has been in any other RTS, Age of Empires, StarCraft, WarCraft, Empire's Earth and so on.

Slightly bemused at the (quite dramatic) cost increase for the 'Perimeter Monitor' for the Indian Artillery, considering it's temperamental nature, as I shall now explain below. 

It states it 'targets all visible enemies in friendly sectors', only it doesn't. Sometimes it will rain down hell on Earth, other times you sit there watching that ability timer go down without so much as a spark landing where there are quite clearly enemies sitting in the circle. Perhaps this could be abated by reducing the actual 'warm up' time for the ability, allowing the shells to arrive sooner, since it isn't like it's hard to avoid, the big flares should be warning enough.

But where my personal gripe with the Indians lies is in it's supposed, and I quote from in-game, 'artillery bombardment' aspect. What artillery bombardment? You have either a somewhat unreliable, (now) very expensive 'super' ability (or howitzer), and a rather average anti-infantry airburst ability. Granted I'll probably be massacred by artillery haters, though I couldn't care less since I won't be paying attention after posting, but if you could throw in some actual shells as well as the airburst itself, like in Company of Heroes 2, the Indian Artillery Battlegroup would certainly live up to it's rather bold primary claim. 

BUT I will end on a positive note there, thank you for making the artillery barrage flare a bit cheaper (despite it not being an exclusive ability).

I think the 221 was able to cap but it seems it can not cap anymore. Can someone check and confirm or am I missing something?

Did they finally nerf M16 truck? It seems it no more knocks down the planes instantly...

And when will we get players names in game?

As this is just focussed around balance, its a step in the right direction. Overall the challenges are a positive change on Paper. In a week we should know more, about how they actually play out. 

Please dont forget about reintroducing features from the previous games, such as player names (alt-key), more visible kill counts (you have the space in the UI) and working & clean stats.

Will you please fix the mission not ending bugs already. Your patch has not addressed this issue. This keeps happening thrughout the Italy campain mutiple missions. 

I believe the game is heading in the right direction. And the recent update was a good start.

All the naysayers and trolls should take a break and have a nice bit of cheese to go with their whine.

good day everyone. On the cob it's a problem with textures, and if you give out kulemets and ptrs for bad breaths, the stench will appear again and again and pour for the goodness of the bad. so the problem is in the textures, if two windshields sit in the car, then the stench will go through the textures. It's time to fix such insignificant bugs for a long time.

You ever used the Mech Battlegroup? With the doctrine ability that gives light vehicle capture?
