Hi Everyone!
We have a new installer version for the Public Beta, which you can find on the Store page or 'My Page' if you're logged in and have the game registered.
v01.02.06 – Changelog
New Features and Rule Changes
IMPORTANT NOTE: All save game and scenario files created with this or later versions may only be loaded with this or a later version. Versions prior to 1.02.06 may not load these newer save game or scenario files. Old saves and scenarios may be loaded with this and newer versions.
• New rule - A mission generated by a ground attack air directive that is performing an attack on a unit has a chance of having the mission converted to an interdiction attack. The chance of switching to interdiction increases with the number of movement points expended by the unit in the unit’s prior turn, and increases against units smaller than divisions.
• Changes/Clarifications with flak
o Clarification – A ground element can be counted multiple times in a single battle report in the list of anti-aircraft elements. This is because the attack is broken up into ‘flights’, and each flight has the chance of being engaged by a ground element. So, a ground element could fire at 6 different flights and be counted 6 times.
o Non-flak elements were being added into the anti-aircraft count in cases when they should not have been. This was a display only issue as they weren’t actually adding to the anti-aircraft value firing at the aircraft. This has been fixed.
o Non-flak elements will never fire at aircraft flying into or through and adjacent hex. This was rare before, but has been removed entirely.
o Increased the importance of aircraft armor in mitigating damage from flak.
o Reduced op losses for day missions and ground support. Also, fixed the function that was supposed to credit some aircraft damaged by flak, that crashed during landing routine, as flak losses. This was incorrectly always counting them as op losses.
• AFV losses in combat were tweaked down slightly.
• Production of guns with build limits was limited when the amount in the pool exceeded 10x the build limit. This limit has been changed to 100x the build limit.
• Increased op losses for night missions for pilots with experience less than 70 experience, with those under 60 experience experiencing roughly double the op losses previously experienced.
• Reduced night bombing accuracy by air units that do not have navigational aids (currently only Allies in War in the West have them).
• Until the Axis control a port on the Caspian Sea, every Caspian Sea hex will automatically receive 20 interdiction points at the end of each air execution phase (enough to make the hexes Soviet controlled).
• Made changes to the layout of the right side of the campaign victory screen.
• Editor - Set hex sea zone and weather zone values as fully generic.
• Editor – Hooked up ability to set an event to activate in the air planning phase (actually executes at the end of the logistics phase).
• This version includes the War in the West editor manual in the /Manuals folder. Although there are many differences between the WitW and WitE2 editors, the WitW editor manual is a useful guide to understanding the WitE2 editor.
Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Display of load outs - Air group loadouts listed in CR don't show the same as in the air unit detail screen
• CR screen was very slow to respond in certain coming expansion scenarios. Fixed.
• Heavy tank regiments are not built with guards designation. Fixed.
• Editor - Button to cancel withdrawals for units in the editor does not work. Fixed.
• Editor – Can’t change sea zone of some ports in scenarios. Fixed.
• Support units are not being committed to battle during the first turn of a scenario if the first player is played by the AI. Fixed.
• Dynamic hex sea zone value is not changed when changing sea zone in editor, so it keeps displaying old value. Fixed.
• Show AD targets rollover text is incorrect on the last button which should read Active Targets Only. Fixed.
• Metrics screen logistics phase losses are always showing 0 in Metrics. Fixed.
• Fixed several bugs with the campaign city bonus victory points.
• AI – During first turn AI script, support units are not getting included in combats. Fixed.
