It has been a while

Yes indeed it has been a quite long time when I played EF. Now I stumbled Upon the 1.11 patch on Mod db. And I see that has been a lot of changes around. And I am quite interested in downloading it.

But I before Download and Install the whole thing. I want to ask a few questions to the people of EF.

- Do we still have the problem with the soviet remanning the equipment?

- what new problems were created with the patch?

- is the mortar still a short ranged super killer? (I find that weird because I thought the soviet mortar should have a pretty long range, should not be accurate but do quit some damage since it is a heavy mortar)

- why did the team implemented hard caps? (just interested in that because I thought they where against it)

- and why was the lend lease sherman implemented? just for the feel? or was it something else? because I though the soviets had enough variation in armoured units.

I would be pleased if someone could inform me about these things.

Regards,

Bjassie

I can answer some of those:

1. Remanning Equipment and Retreat have not been fixed, this has been announced that it will be released in 1.2

2. New problems with the patch were fixed in 1.11 from 1.1. However, there are still a couple bugs that are being worked out.
(One of those is that the L-L Sherman has a graphics bug, and it's turret won't appear unless you have Shader and Model quality on high.)

3. The mortar has a crew of 4 to start with, and is quite a normal mortar. HOWEVER, if you upgrade the mortar, it gains a 5th member and has the super power effect of all 120mm. I'm not sure, but I believe it also gives it a slight range bonus?

4. The team implemented hard caps to prevent CPUs from spamming call in units mostly. Conscripts were put on cap to prevent players from making endless lag creating mobs that just overrun everything.(They are capped @ 5)

5.Lend Lease Sherman was put in for a replacement of Vehicle Recovery by Mechanics. The mods felt that the ability was much too like the PE's, so they replaced it with a medium early tank call in.

Some more things:

Many tanks were reskinned (<3 the new SU-100)
Some maps were edited (Example:Moscow)
Guards deem to be much more effective now.

You should look at the change log for a more detailed overview of changes. ;)

Retreat will be implemented later, because it wasn't a bug, just a feature. But Remanning Equipment is a real, nasty bug and relic haven't fixed yet, and I think it won't be fixed in a near future :(.
