Patch 1.4 - Land

[Kallocain]

A lot of changes here. Are they all good, or would you rather have seen something else?

- Engineers are now much better at defending in all rough terrain.
- Engineers now gives nice bonuses to defending.
- Tweaked stats of several support brigades, strengthening some and weakening others.
- Decreased strength damage from combat by 20%.
- Paratroopers now requires more officers, and have a slightly worse base hard attack.
- Its no longer possible to extend the radio range of a HQ by stacking some tank brigades with a big radio strength together with it.
- Suppression can no longer propagate over water.
- AA Carriage Sights now increases soft attack slightly as well for AA brigades.
- Bergsjaegers now gets more benefits from mountain warfare equipment.
- Damage to org on divisions are no longer scaled by strength of the brigade, but evenly.

Is this just tank brigades, or do no brigades now add radio strength?

tanks was just an example.

True, but there supplies were more than three or four days. Those transports should be airdropping supplies until ground pounder link up with them. They may not have had as much heavy weapons, but they usually had the best infantry equipment available. A larger contingent of automatic weapons, and they tended to fight with more ferocity than a normal unit. If they were trucked to the front instead of dropped, they shouldn't suffer any of the problems except for the heavy equipment that was not part of the TO&E.

Just checked the code, there is a 7 day supply on paradrops compared to the normal 30 day. This can of course be tweaked to even lower if someone prefers that in their game.
