Hello Nikivdd! Thanks for the new update...

Errata: The fix for +1 Ammo and +1 HA is for the SS Pz IIC

Some minor detail: Soviet M3 Lee tanks should also have reconmove trait, if US and British units have it, for the sake of coherency.

On the other hand, the M3 Grant, which was a medium tank (from which the Sherman was developed, and very different machines from the light M3 and M5 tanks) should not have that trait in my opinion... Why give the reconmove trait only to Grants but not to Sherman tanks, for example?

And a question: Which were the changes added to the eqp file in the v34 update?

Thanks again!

v34 was the fix for the SS Pz IIC, a typo mistake on my behalf
Since the devs gave the US M3 Grant the recon move, i saw no problem giving it to the UK M3 Grant either. The Soviets should get it too, will be part of the next update.
I just made me think how badly i discussed to get the Pz 35(t) in PzC 2

Thanks Nikivdd for the answer!

M3 Grant with reconmove: The unfathomable reasons of the developers who gave the vanilla values to the eqp file...

nikivdd my point was that if you boost german forces with SS you should do the same with Soviets and other nations too. Because the game become very easy even the highest level of difficulty. I've passed some of the first missions buying mostly SS but quit very bored from the changes because they are too strong, crushing everything on their way with few casualties. Anyway.

There are plenty of ways to make it harder.
Less turns, less prestige, field less units than allowed, disbanding SE unit when awarded one and so on.

Version 37 changes;

(SS) Panzerfaust 30/60/100/150 added
Osttruppen icon changed to soviet conscript

This is the final update.

[guille1434]

Thanks again for the continued support! But also somewhat sad to know that this is the last update...
Here is a recolored/modified version of the Soviet Conscript Icon to give the option to use a different icon for the German Osttruppen unit and differentiate its looks from the Soviet Unit icon.

Thank you Nikivdd for this huge work of improvement.
Panzer Corps is not the same, it's another game much more interresting.
Also, a big thank you to all the other modders
Best regards
Yves

I decided to play Ancient Frontier and Star Traders instead until i am invited to the alpha test of Panzer Corps 2. I don't even want to know the hours i spend modding, testing, playing Panzer Corps )))
Thanks Guille for the icon, i am sure it will come in handy.
Cheers.

Thank you for continued improvement of the equipment file.

Shouldn't Pz III Flamm have an increased rate of fire, like Pz II Flamm?

You're right, should be fixed with the next update.
