Eastern Front 1.50 Patch

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Makes the best RTS of all time even better. Would love to see the Japanese added on the German side, if that's even possible.

EF won't do the Japanese, you may be interested in this though: http://www.moddb.com/mods/pacific-thunder

Achilles
* Removed AP shells from Achilles but given Sherman Firefly bonus when CCT is near.

* Achilles has a new build icon (RMC).

I have just played a versus AI match i played as Weh and 3 other Wrh AI (ex-ex-hard) and the opponents  AI are Sovieis ( ex-ex-ex-hard) and i have to say that the Soviet are pretty smart they know how to use NIs and TH with PTRDs and other various kinds of tank (better than in the past for not spamming SU-122) but there appear a few problems: my Weh AI are quite passive, they just kept their Pz4 and Stug 4 at their base and not tried to help me ( still their pioneers are helpful when support my tanks) another thing, have you guys seen a tiger, panther and Pz4 chasing after a SU-76 or a T-34 (single) ? My tiger shot twice at the SU-76 and my Panther shot 1 but the SU-76 ( it supposes to have thin armor) still can escape and either the T-34 with a nearly running out HP bar still escape my tiger and panther shots without being damage anything !!

What is your point?

Balance issue based on a skirmish experience?

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

if its a ballance issue plz remember that games vs ai dosnt show the real balance of the game

[Tankbuster]

So you mean that AI units are stronger too.

??

AI just gets more mp. Expert AI has a 200% mp income which results in spamming units and capping war.

Hi, Patrons!
I did play EF 1.51 since the last week end and I never have so much fun with CoH. Really, EF achieved the feat of doing a perfect upgrade. The russian faction now is a balanced one, with many smart resources: the infantry ones; the variety of vehicles/tanks availables or finally the smart units abilities. I was really amazed with the mod and wasn't able to drop my guns...
But, as always we can't be  satisfied, I would like to make two remarks:
First, I think that some early soviet armor units would be nice in the battlefield - like a BA series or even the T-26 or BT-7. Today I've downloaded the last NHCmod version and I was agreeably surprised by a pretty Panzer II! I believe that the later WWII period focus is above all a north american vision of the war. For the europeans & chineses/japaneses the WII start in 1939 or even early and was its fate decided in 1942.
Second, I believe that the T-34 and KV-1 models & skins would be better than the current ones...
That's all... For the remaining the mod is perfect! Maybe the better ever made by the human hands...
Thank you very much for the fun I have with...
P.

Are T-34s better in urban maps or KVs?

Mr Q Said, " My tiger shot twice at the SU-76 and my Panther shot 1 but the SU-7 ( it supposes to have thin armor) still can escape and either the T-34 with a nearly running out HP bar still escape my tiger and panther shots without being damage anything !!"

I believe what Mr Q was suggesting is that the SU-76 and T34 have too strong armour when his two tiger shots and one panther shot didn't finish them off. That's not a comment about play versus AI, but it also isn't a very representative example. Now, if he'd done the same test 3-4 times and always had the same result, that would have been useful info, but one occasion really only shows that he was unlucky that time.

Of course, I have to say that personally I don't have a problem with this in terms of balance anyway. As far as I'm concerned, if three heavy tank shots don't kill an SU-76 (were they against front armour?) that's just something which happens in CoH tank battles sometimes. Even if the SU-76 is supposed to have weak armour, having it one-shot-killed on a regular basis would make it massively underpowered for an anti-tank weapon.

Dear all,

My latest patch of eastern front I have is 1.2.0.0... Could I just applied patch 1.5 or do I have to apply also patch 1.3 and 1.4 before I could install 1.5?

[Mr.ious.Q]

Yes, you have to patch 1.3 to 1.4 then 1.4 to 1.5 or you can just download the full update if you don't like the Launcher.
