Panzer Corps 1.30 patch!

[captainjack]

Soft Cap tooltip added

While I dislike the soft cap, the tooltip is useful because it shows me when I have forgotten to activate the mod that switches it off!

[Ballermann]

With great enthusiasm I downloaded the new patch and tried some new features. In addition to nice things, there are also critical points such as:

-No abilities for mountain troops (alpini)?
-No abilities for reconnaissance troops (reconmove)?
-No abilities for submarines (Has been announced in the new readme file as "attacksub" to fight with subs against subs)?
-Bridge engineers use also the trait “minekiller”, but it’s missed with the new ability feature?

Is there a chance to get these things later?

Very good question. But where is the response from the developers?

Also interesting is what you can read on the "whatsnew.pdf":

Change History:

v1.30 – October 6, 2016

• Extended predictions when planning unit movement.
• Soft Cap tooltip added to old prestige tooltip.
• Fixed issue with extended predictions showing for transports.

• Added german localization
• Added Russian localization

if THAT's the only trait that was added that's really stupid. So instead of actually useful AT support fire we get submarines attacking other submarines, something that happened only maybe a couple of time during the entire war and usually wasn't successful?

[Akkula]

Keldor,
The attacksub is trait I asked to the developers in order to support my "Modern Conflicts" mod, of course in WW2 there was no sub battle. This one, is just a trait specifically added for the modding community, no vanilla content is changed, dont worry.
In that aspect I think is good sign from the developers to keep supporting the modding community, next step Steam Workshop maybe?.

[KeldorKatarn]

Yeah I don't say that it's not nice to have that. But while they were at it why did they not also add the other stuff people asked for. I mean they did a "suggestions" thread specifically for this patch and NONE OF IT go uses. The only stuff they added was stuff that had been asked for years ago. None of the new ideas of that thread were used, literally NONE. That is so disappointing.

[Akkula]

I have a glitch/bug to report.
I put to test the new subs trait and it doesnt work. What I did:

1- Added attacksub to several submarine units
2- Test the scenario, I chose the sub unit and I got the attack option to another sub... so far so good, but
3- I clicked attack but nothing happened: the turn movement of my unit was over but it didnt attack

I tried this with another submarines with and without the trait.

Am I missing something? or it is really a bug?.

Thanks in advance.
Akkula.

[HapHapablap]

Nice additions, especially extended predictions. Thanks! I already can't recall how I played without that.!

[Soldberg]

The startscreen-background-image-control - which has been controlled so far via the "startscreen.htm" - is now hardcoded ... Please turn it back!

[Razz1]

You are correct. I can not get the attacksub trait to work.

[Akkula]

I hope the dev guys make a quick fix for that one.

[Magic1111]

I hope the dev guys make a quick fix for that one.

I don´t think so....

2 things that are missing super important to this great game, not an added never Updates, being lame the game:

1-The aircraft carrier hangar, like the Order of Battle Series, unit loaded in hangar and transported by sea to recharge and protection inside the hangar, with the "toggle switch" icon can be added to an aircraft the plane but not transport you by sea.

2- "toggle switch" for torpedoes, you can not put the number of different ammunition to "interuptor of change" since it only has the lowest Munion in two changes of position: Example
for
TORPEDO 1 Ammo> Torp Henschel 8150
1
for BOMBER 3 Ammo> Bomb Henschel 8150
3

the only solution I've seen is put both 1 ammo to keep reality in the game, a plane could only load one torpedo but to shoot it you run out of ammo in both positions of the switch (although in the second position you have more active ammo).

Example 1:
5139 Torp Henschel 8 150 1 60 11 4 0 1 0 0 -5 8 21 9 6 2 0 Hs-123_Torpedo.png 01.01.1939 01.01.1946 5 primary 5140
5140 Bomb Henschel 8 150 3 60 11 4 0 1 4 3 5 0 21 10 6 2 0 Hs-123.png 01.01.1939 01.01.1946 5 nopurchase 5139

When firing the first shot, the torpedo ammunition runs out, but also the 3 rounds remaining pumps even if they are two different switch change.
THIS FAILURE: When firing a torpedo spends a munition, leaving zero on both sides of the switch (5139 Torp Hensche ant 5140 Bomb Henschel).

For aircraft with different load capabilities, you can create multiple options (eg Bomber A = torpedo armed with one or two attacks very good against naval units, Bomber B = rocket armed with 1 or 2 shots and very effective against soft targets, and Bomber C = bomb armed with more attacks that are not so effective). If you make the different units the same price, then whenever you are on a carrier or an airfield you can switch the weapons system for no cost. I believe Akkula uses this approach for his modern warfare mod.

It's not a perfect system, but it increases the flexibility of your aircraft, makes reasonable sense (since you'd provide your flight with weapons appropriate to the mission when you set off, but wouldn't be able to change mid flight) and gets round the issue of different ammo levels for different weapons. It can also be tuned to reflect the capabilities of actual aircraft since some could carry almost any combination, while others were torpedo or bombs.

Hello developers and administrators!

It would be nice to hear some answers to solve the problems and critical points here in this thread. Is there anything in work process?

[Shards]

Will this 1.30 patch also being applied to the iPad version as well?

Hi,

The iPad update is in development and will be ready soon

Thanks!

-----------------------------------
Mod akula:
Some fighters are mutirole, BUT that doenst means the units will be multipurpose: i.e., it would be unrealistic to equip bombs to a F-16 in mid air . To solve this I put the same cost to the bombing and fighter variants (or recon, or naval attack, etc) of those particular aircrafts, so you should be able to upgrade/equip them at the start of the scenario at 0 cost.
-------------------------------------------------------

In testing: Unfortunately it does not work because he was not implemented in the UPDATES, it is a problem of ammunition, not to change the torpedo bomb (rockets wwii Air / land cannon or missile Air / Air Air / Modern Land). >>>to fire the torpedo spent ammunition, leaving zero on both sides of the switch.
When you shoot, the unit will spend one ammo in the two units with the main switch, even changing, and the torpedo is shot, and you can not shoot the plane with machine guns even if you change position switch

In testing Example 2: With another big mistake in the game, you can not buy at cost 0 (change torpedo/bomber weapons), you have to re-pay the entire unit to switch weapons.
In testing: Nor can upgrade the unit on aircraft carriers, leaving the lame game again in the last v1.30 GOLD

idea 2 Example:
5139 Torp/Bom Henschel 8 150 1 60 11 4 0 1 9 9 -4 8 21 9 6 2 0 Hs-123_Torpedo.png 01.01.1939 01.01.1946 5 primary upgrade
5140 Bom/Torp Henschel 8 150 1 60 11 4 0 1 0 0 -4 8 21 9 6 2 0 Hs-123.png 01.01.1939 01.01.1946 5 upgrade

Yes that would also interest me.

It seems as if the cow was milked now. And that's it then???

[bcnkor5]

1-Nor it has an animation for parachutists this example does not work. In it summarizes a great game reaches the uptaded GOLD abandoned and missing important things missing.

2-The game not improved with updates (air units can not shoot at a distance and torpedoes or rockets), can not be mixed with rockets and torpedoes or in distance or 1 to 2 hexagon both fighter and light bomber. Even with range of vision 2 hexagons.
Example mulyrole fighter:
9621 Torp TBFAvenger 8 370 1 70 12 2 1 5 0 0 -4 9 19 10 3 2 2 TBF_Avenger_torpedo.png 01.01.1940 01.01.1946 5 primary 9622
9622 Bom TBFAvenger 8 370 3 70 12 2 0 5 6 5 -3 0 19 11 3 2 2 ZEA_CAG_TBF_Avenger.png 01.01.1940 01.01.1946 5 nopurchase 9621

Note: You can only fire torpedoes and rockets if you turn the unit as Earth = 0, but this can not be on top of an enemy unit.
9621 Torp TBFAvenger 0 370
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ask how you can fire torpedoes or rockets with air unit?

If someone has a list of new skills and old, to add the post to write it, because I do not see any info about it, and it is very important for any mod.

I hope to more ideas or info thanks...

Hi,

Thanks!

Then shouldn't there be a beta of it? I don't see any reason not to throw it up on TestFlight while you are finishing it up.
