No problems with re-crewing any heavy weapon by strelky, Red Banner strelky, ingenery, penals. Didn't try to do it with guards (kind o' too rich for my blood).
Surprisingly, however, the game seems to be using (even) more resources after the last patch.

It seems like you guys play a lot of Soviet vs Whermact.

The Russian snipers get slaughtered by a rush of PE Assault Grenadiers or  Scout cars. Especially since the Scout cars are vetted from nuking conscripts with every shot.

The fact is, Russia needs the decent snipers or there is nothing they can do against a PE blob early.

I really like to see some more testing / discussion on Russia vs PE, it's an entirely different game.

Keep up the good work though!

p.s. has anyone experienced the "bug" when you have them in observer mode and try retreat? For me they just sit there in retreat mode but don't actually run away.

I've just tested that and the observer can move while the sniper just stands in observer mode.

I don't know, if it's a bug, or was intended so, but it's definitely there, and was there for ages.

I never noticed it either, but then again, I rarely have to retreat sniper groups because they are just too damn OP. (Or, if you take it from a soviet standpoint, badass)

I've played a skirmish today for try the new patch.

Just a question:

The Zis AT gun (cool model  8)) has some kind of self-repair and self-heal ability active with time?

I've noticed that my damaged Zis gun, after some minutes was totally repaired and its men healed.

The gun was at Vet.0.

It's a bug or an intentional thing?

Anyway, I like the new SU-85/SU-100 skins. ;)

Thanks and good job.  :)
This happened to me as well accidentally sent a Veteran ZIS through some Wehr and coulda sworn I lost it but then it appeared where I had originally sent it with all members at full health and a minorly damaged gun.

Wow, just wow... ;D I have two question. When the new patch (to vCoH) will come out how it will affect the balance? I played the retail beta, and it is like a new game. Secondly, when will the Dev Team start to code their own game?  :D

@Blacky

It appear that the new patch got messed with Robotnik's AI improvement mod. I downloaded EF again to avoid confusion with files etc. Thanks for the help thought.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the incredible ZIS-2 model in my earlier post. A great work on that model! Thank you!  :)

Don't use robotnik AI, it's outdated :). Next time he makes a new version of his AI will be integrated with the official release.

Hi there,

first: do you have changed the skin of the russian sniperace? It does not look good anymore.
Second: do you have changed the AI behaviour? I win every skirmish game now doesn´t matter which nation I use. I play the third level and remembering playing Wehrmacht it was very hard to beat the russians. Now it is no problem anymore.

Best regards,

Caen44.

@Caen44
I haven't checked the sniper ace of this patch, but afaik, he uses the same skin than the spotter.

About the AI, as we didn't have AI coder, EF has been using the same AI than in 1.0 and we have done many changes so, our current AI code is not optimized to work correctly. Fortunately, robotnik offered to help us on that matter so, we can expect an update on EF's AI in the near future.

Meanwhile, you can play against humans; you will find more epic matches than the AI could offer.
