Has there been any approximate ETA for the new models and Ostheer?

[Blackbishop]

As we have usually say, there is no ETA for Ostheer. For the next patch maybe in the next month, depends of the available time of balancers(and mine as well I guess ).

Meanwhile, I'll post some pics of some visible changes for the next patch:

Flags for Soviets in sectors

You already know that we have changed the outpost model, but we also fixed the flags for the Strategy Points, Munition Points, Fuel Points and Victory Points, whenever they are captured or secured.

In the past soviets used to use Blue flags and in the current patch US Flags, but now they will have their own brand .

Vehicle Cover Icon

Vehicle Cover is the ability given by Relic to all vehicles so they can have cover bonus(a bit like infantry cover but not directional and only can be under cover or not, AFAIK). Some vehicles didn't have it before 2.602... some players say it can help you to win battles. But how do you use it? How do you know when you have cover?

Company of Heroes Online used to have a solution for that, and in Eastern Front Team team will gladly implement something similar to our mod. From the next patch whenever your vehicles are in cover, you will see this gray shield above the vehicle and you'll know your vehicle has cover bonus on that area.

This will surely help everyone .

IIRC tanks arent supposed t get vehicle cover 

[Dann88]

Yes, yes they are. They are vehicles, even Flak 88 have vehicle cover.

[Pac-Fish]

They are vehicles

I know that 

I meant GR.org did an article on vehicle cover and they said tanks weren't supposed to get the cover bonus. Only light vehicles or basically anything that can get wehr vehicle vet. 88s can get vehicle vet. And anything from the motor pool (and Jeep ). And all the light PE vehicles. And  (IDK about this) the Sturat and the light tankoyve for SU

Basically if MG AP rounds can kill it its a light vehicle. I think

[GodlikeDennis]

Well we didn't ADD any vehicle cover AFAIK. The devs only made it possible to see when a unit is receiving its vehicle cover bonus it would normally get.

[Tankbuster]

What bonus(es) does vehicle cover give?

[GodlikeDennis]

I think it's 0.75 received accuracy. So units shooting it will hit it 25% less, excluding scatter hits.

[Pac-Fish]

What bonus(es) does vehicle cover give?

Its what GLD said. Its the same statistical bonus you get when you are on the move. You are basically harder to hit. But the advantage of vehicle cover is you have more shooting accuracy when standing still.

I simply bring up the cover for tanks because I see the IS-3 has the cover bonus and I was wondering if they purposely added vehicle cover to tanks when no other faction has vehicle cover for their tanks or if it was just an accident.

Dude, the only tanks that didn't have vehicle cover were the Shermans and that was fixed in 2.602 . Pershing and KT already had vehicle cover, so it is obvious than IS3 will have it.

[Pac-Fish]

I thought the reason tanks like the KT didnt get vehicle cover was because they crushed it when they got close to it or they were too big of a target. Im pretty sure they dont have vehicle cover. Im going to find that article again

Edit: You are right in that some tanks get vehicle cover but not all. I only llooked it over briefly. Here is the article.

http://www.gamereplays.org/companyofheroes/portals.php?show=page&name=coh-synoptic-guide-vehicle-cover

[Blackbishop]

That guide is obviously outdated, although the tactics can be still applied. You can check yourself on corsix if you like, create a new mod and look at the vehicle ebps files ... the only vehicles that doesn't have vehicle cover for 2.602 are:

* Command Trucks
* Churchill Variants
* Priest
* Goliath

I'm not sure if they were forgotten though.
