UPDATE! These are changes made to my OOBs so far. I would still need some help to get the minimum range setting to work properly. At the moment howitzers and rockets fire indirect bombardments closer than indicated with minimum range setting. Ideas to correct this, anyone?? Anyway, here I go at the moment:
- gave (almost) every HQ a command car.
- gave Elite Recon -status to all scouts and to FOs and FO vehicles which didn't have it for some reason.
- created Mobile FO (1 x Forward Observer + 1 x utility vehicle) for several countries.
- removed 'multipliers' from mortars, now they are more reasonably priced. However, players should note historical doctrines when using mortars!
- edited German SPA platoon to SPA Battery, which had six SPA vehicles. Lowered every nations SPA prices just a little bit (they were expensive, so I never saw them used in PBEM games, maybe this helps)
- reduced japanese 50mm knee mortar accuracy from 28 -> 8 (8 is the usual accuracy given to small mortars). Previous setting made it too good an AT weapon considered that it is supposed to be a mortar.
- removed japanese 75mm Mtn Bty (range of the 75mm T94 gun is 25 hexes, making it useless OB weapon).
- reduced .30 cal MG (x2) HE kill value from incredible 120(!!) -> 23 (usual twin mount HE kill 20 - 24).
- reduced quad .50 cal HE kill value from 32 to 28. (it's supposed to be a meat chopper, but I wanted to tone it down just a little bit)
- edited german 37mm PAK stats. Made one 37mm PAK available from 36-41 without APCR ammo, and the other is now available 42-44 with 20 APCR shots.
- created unarmed bunker that has carry capacity of about 160 (enough room for 1 - 1½ platoon). I gave enough armor to withstand arty. Men get out if one shoots at it directly, but they stay inside even if being hit with indirect weapons.(available in Czech purchase screen)
- made Train available in the Norway OOB. (available in Norway purchase screen)
- made 380mm Railroad Gun available in the Italian OOB and I also modified it a bit. (available in Italy purchase screen)
- created Siege Howitzer, available in the Netherlands OOB. I used Napalm class weapon to give this gun enough killing power, hence the flame-effect. (available in Netherlands purchase screen)
- removed allied names from japanese planes (now Ki-43 is Hayabusa, not Oscar etc.).
- moved some german equipment (units that I've never or very rarely used) into Czech OOB and moved some equipment into German OOB just so that I can buy them with german national characteristics.
Following (ex-german) units must now be bought from Czech purchase screen:
gliders (DFS 230) R-Boot Focke-Wulf 189 Uhu all captured tanks amphibious tanks
In addition, one can now purchase from Czech purchase screen: German 170mm Howitzers Pz VII Löwe (uses King Tiger -icon) E-100 (uses Maus -icon) Arado 234 bomber several ammo carriers several wheeled and tracked SPAA vehicles plus much more!
Next new units can now be bought from German purchase screen:
Fl Wg B-2(f) Pz 39H RAK (edited to have 4 HE rockets) Panther F Panther II Tiger II P2Turm 12.8cm Pz Sfl V (quite like Nashorn, but with 128mm ATG) 10.5cm K18 auf Panzer Selbstfahrlafette IVa SdKfz 231 6-rad Me 262A-2a JaBo SS machinegun section and platoon (elite) SS inf-AT section (elite) Kramer X-7 Rotkäppchen Anti-Tank missile Stuka zu Fuss (6 HE rockets with range of 2000m) Stuka zu Fuss (6 flame rockets with range of 2200m)
I have not that much knowledge on allied equipment, so anyone knowing flaws on the allied side units, let me know
