I had this on another thread I hope this helps
H2H- Looks different and plays much different than all the rest. Reworked OOB’s the German have German names and all OOB’s have lots of different types of equipment. If is the version that first came up with mobile MG that could move then shoot. Price is linked with performance so Recoilless Rifles are expensive. Mobile arty is much more expensive. All Transports are much more expensive. Ammo load out are different. Spotting is set to Default at 60% (IMHO 85% works very well in H2H, at 60% you can be standing two spaces for a Stug and it disappear). The “ Willy Meter” is disabled; the Willy meter is the * that pops up when a unit has been spotted. Very good version, I recommend getting it, I would have it on a computer if I where a SPWAW addict and I am.
7.1 – Liked this version allots still have it. I will explain the differences from this one in the next two.
8.3 – Is an upgrade from 8.2, which had some very bad bugs in it that effected game play. 8.3 fixed the bugs. Bazooka’s and other infantry AT weapons are handled differently, you can do Bayonet charges. Prices where reworked and adjusted. Some bugs were fix I think AA weapons were re-classed in this on but I’m not sure. I like it but I have kept 7.1. This is when we get mobile light/medium MG’s. The US 60m jeep mortar is no longer available in its old form, it now a Jeep carrying a mortar instead of a Jeep mounting a mortar.
8.4 – This one is truly different because its not just OOB changes, the Mech.exe is different (So is H2H by the way) this file change how the game operates and handles situations. One key change in 8.4 tank riders take casualties when the tank gets hit, this is something that used to take place many version ago and finally made it back. Another key change is troop base experience has been change, upping some countries and lowering others, this affects cost and all sort of things. Now there are some tweaks that the gamers have asked for and are coming. The spotting routine was change in 8.4 it is very, very difficult to get with in one hex of a tank and now get shot, regardless of your terrain or even if the tank is suppressed. This is a game killer for some players; it is going to be changed in the next update.
I keep 8.4 because I play allot of game and it is the latest version by Matrix, I also keep this version “ clean “ by this I mean no mod’s of any sort, Its easier for me to coordinate my game with others this way. I use 8.3 for vehicle mod’s and other Icon mod’s there are some very good icon mod’s the make the game look tons better IMO, also it doesn’t have the change in spotting which makes infantry assaults a thing of the past. Also if you have the modification and others player doesn’t you will see strange things, for example the person without the mod will see Stugs as jet fighters. The jet still acts like a Stug in every respect but looks like a jet.
I probably missed a few things but I covered quite a bit. I hope this helps
