7.3.8

[h3]ADDED:[/h3]
  • New dedicated unit counter for bombers (to better identify them at a glance): Counter Bomber.
    Modders will need to update their mod to include the missing graphics.
  • Clicking on a notification for a unit researched will now open the right category in the research panel.
  • Level of the unit in the reserve.


[h3]CHANGED:[/h3]
  • Germany's counters color. In case the new color is not something you like, I have made an official mod which will replace the new counters with the old ones: Old German Counters
  • Belgium counters color (slight change in shade of yellow used).
  • Turkish counters color (New Beige color).
  • Hungary slight counters color (slight change in shade of green used).
  • Romania slight counters color (slight change in shade of yellow used).
  • France counters color (less bright/pale blue).
  • USA counters color (slight change in shade of green).
  • Japan counters color (Less orange, more yellow/orange/brown).
  • Manchukuo counters color (slight change in shade of yellow).
  • Finland counters color (closer to white, but still light grey).
  • Type of the unit taken into account for dealing damage when the target is in a landing craft will no longer be 'hard' in 100% of the cases (except if attacked by ships) but will be the proper one used on land battle too.
  • Tanks fighting on ice will take double damage (frozen sea / river / water tiles).
  • Units on fortifications tiles will now get entrenchment too.
  • Potential movement tiles on winter tiles (black shaded, should be more visible).
  • Bunkers can no longer be built in enemy territory (not sure if it should be counted as a bug).
  • Upkeep for planes (all) 3% -> 5%. Extra +0.5% for each loadout type.
  • Upkeep for artillery 1% -> 3%.
  • Rebalanced Khalkin Gol scenario (Campaign, Allies).
  • Rebalanced Operation Weserunbung (Campaign, Axis).
  • Increased ships purchase rate for naval powers (GB, USA, etc).
  • Croatia will now be properly created upon capitulation of Yugoslavia in 1941 on Europe 1939.
  • With Historical Focus ON, Germany will now buy 2 times more submarines.
  • Higher purchase rate of ships for naval major powers.
  • Updated the cost and turn production time for all coastal batteries (cheaper).
  • Motorized or mechanized units are now banned from entering or moving through marsh tiles.
  • Damage reduction for ships vs land targets when shooting at ranges > 1. For up to 3+ range, a 30% damage penalty will incur. For 2 range it will be a damage penalty of 15%. This is to simulate lack of accuracy on very far shots, and also to prevent ships 'cleaning' coastlines up to 3 tiles inland.


[h3]FIXED:[/h3]
  • You could not deploy a pontoon bridge on a bridge tile (destroyed).
  • French commanders units had the wrong flag (modern France flag).
  • Big big data leak. Notifications for AI players were NEVER cleared. Just noticed this on turn 242 of my game, 11900 notifications stacked, never deleted from the game file.
  • Upgrading a unit and having sent into the reserve, if there were two units on that tile, one of them would be come disabled/hidden forever.
  • Landings could be performed on mountains or marshes, even for units that could not move on those tiles.
  • Some units dealing unlimited damage in infinite loop on damage preview. FINALLY FIXED.
  • Units in train (transport) would show damage for fighting back even though they would not fight back.
