Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

Eastern Front Patch 1.20

'The Great Patriotic War'


Eastern Front Fans,

Patch 1.20 is an immense upgrade, if not re-design, of the Soviet side.
As voted for by our community, the Soviets now receive veterancy in a mixed fashion merging the ideals of the American side, with the unique battle changing upgrades of the Soviets. Along with this all Soviet Units aside from the NKVD Conscripts (now renamed to represent the Penal troops of the Soviet army) can retreat from battle; and live to fight another day - a needed addition considering the new inclusion of hard earned veterancy.

On top of this we are very happy to announce the inclusion of Reward units that do NOT require Tales of Valour; created by skilled members of the CoH modding community. The ToV reward units are of course not available unless you own ToV, nonetheless the EF ones however are available to all - giving a little extra to those Allied/Axis fans out there.

On top of these already large inclusions, we have broken from protocol and set out to balance the vanilla game with the help of skilled expert players, finally fixing many of the long term balance issues seen in CoH.


How to get 1.2!

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

I just joined this forum to say thank you to the devs for this patch. It fixes most of the issues with CoH now so it is balanced again. I'm very happy and Eastern front will be all I play in the future. Now we only need to spread the word to the rest of the community so we have a lot of people to play against. I dont think many people want to play regular CoH when they hear what you guys have fixed and added with this mod.

So a big thank you once again!

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

It looks like it will be the best patch so far. This is pretty much all I hoped for and far more.
I will unfortunately not be able to play the game for another two weeks. :-(

The only three things I worry about now is
1. Bugs: With a large change like this their are always some.
2. Russia still tech very fast, with doesn't go well with the idea that they should be strong in the endgame.
3. With so many change at once something is going to be OP or UP. I do however think that it was neccesary with a big change like this to get the communities interessted in the patch again. Good call by the devs.

Once again great work guys, I can't wait to try it out myself.

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

- Ack. Bothers me that you played with vanilla. Huge changes
there. But I'll have to play with it to judge. I TOTALLY agree
on the Stuka-PE upgrade costing 100 MP and not 150 MP
(4 not 6 missiles) :)
- Aw. The way you made the Russians, it seems as if they'll
ressemble the Americans now. 3 vet? I'm sad you didn't try
the hero system I had developped... ;) Akin to a weak british
vet system. But instead of 'officers' using 'Hero' units
(First one to vet gains an 'aura' of +1 vet but there can
only be 1 type of hero at a time)(Infantry or Tank).

  And being limited to 1(+1) vet. That way, keeps the feel
of 'many' not as good quality (with heros thrown in that
inspire the rest). Thoughts? :)

  Would have given them vet while keeping them original.
Right now, very much seems like trying to emulate USA.
And Strelsky should be able to build some defenses, no?
Sandbags, or Trenches. Thoughts?

Russians were famous for being experts in-diggers during war.

- Small note : You didn't show the RUSSIAN reward units!
;) Shouldn't there be any? :)

- Should have taken this patch as opportunity to give 'em
Casualties-for-troops (zombies) ability like all the others :)
(Save PE)
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

I see the Dev's did all 4 of the fractions, the main vet is the Americans. But if you have a commander squad it makes the troops stronger so that's British. Then on the commander you get to choose defensive or offensive 3 times so that's PE, then last theres a armoury that upgrades people so that's Wher. Pretty neat. But now that idea is 1 less for the obsteer :D

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch


- Why no russian reward units? :(
SU122 ? KV-1? SU76? T26? :) Cmon! BT7!
 
- Hmm, Sherman-105 is too cheap. It's very kickass.
I know turret speed sucks (as it should) but, still...
should it still have shovel? Seriously, cap it at least, or
something. I can EASILY see using the Sherman-105
instead of the Sherman-75. Big time, too. -100 MP +5 fuel?
- Jumbo should perhaps be 10 pop not '8'. And I don't see
how it's shells are much different (HE) from normal.

: Was it necessary to up the artillery costs on all the russian
sharpshooters if you were going to put a global cooldown?
: One thing I've been wondering awhile, too, when are you
guys going to ajust the value scores on-unit?
(ex : 5-5-5-4 for sherman) for example. I see a LOT of
units where they don't change. Sherman 105, Jumbo,
T34/76 and T34/85 have same values, etc...

Thoughts, dev?

Perhaps this is a bit off topic, but i cant get the patch to work. I downloaded it (not from launcher) and every time I click on its icon my computer freezes and my desktop closes. Any ideas?

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

Where do you read that  Devs won't add reward units for soviets? ::)

Why soviets would need a MG? being their infantry more numerous than any others factions, I find that it hilarious.

1. Soviet army already have MGs during war.
2. Other factions have it, & this point take them advantage. (Changing position & close fire support.)
3. Numbers do not take advatage.

During one battle i defend the line for a long time with 1 STUG, 2 AT-guns, 1 nebelwerfer, 1 MG & 2 inf. platoons (later 2 Stugs & artillery support) against 3-5 shermans & sniper/inf.platoons (every 5-10 minutes). Snipers & inf platoons attack AT-guns, tanks attack front & flanks of the defence line.
It was 2X2 game, & my defence will attacked with both of players, my positions - the key to flank & crush main heavy defence line (i need to regain control & rebuild for all the front) for time winning & scrap the Germ. tank army for couterattack. Both sides take a heavy loses, but win is already in gem. hands. (For those time i don't know about Eastern Front & only beginning.)

Only network malfunction take an end to this battle.

For week i spend a time to the tast not usual tactics ... enchance troops for good fighting, ... that was tactical error. Nazi troops quick produce mobile forces & drive back our defence. That was very hard to stabilise the front.
No advancing, quick produse, without MGs & mortars take average chances to stop nazi blitz, than front tank attack with SU support.
Simple, heavy, but close to the therm "effective".

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

Yeah and i doubt that PE or Brits didn't as well, but in CoH they have the IHT and Bren Carrier to fullfil thar role(and many others), not in the same level that US & Wehr.

I won't say how you must play, but devs have the maxim model(without animations) but even if they manage to finish it, I don't know what role will have in the soviets. Well, in either case nothing is written in stone (unless devs say otherwise ;)).

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

Hi to all  :)
First of all thank you so much for this great work  ;) but i have some questions and i´m sorry if i post on the wrong place but i´m a little confused...
Well i never seen the MG of the pictures on the squads and this make me ask do i have the latest patch?? how do i know that...? the launcher only tells me [IP address redacted] and i everytime i do an update it tells me that its up to date...but like i said i never seen those guns and other thing is the new german faction out now...?
Sorry if i´m breaking any rule but i love this mod and i just want to know if i have the last version...
Thanks to all who made this possible :) /Bow

Edit: the machine guns i´m talking about are the ones on the first 2 pics of the first post...where do i get that...??
Post Merge: [time]1285277795[/time]

I´m very sorry...it was my fault...i didn´t know that only the units you build after you research on armory get the updates...i´m very sorry...

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

Welcome to the forums!

Those MGs are DP-28, you can get them for Strelky squads after making "Red Banner Strelky" upgrade in the Armory. After that all newly created (this is important, as Soviets do not carry upgrades onto on-field units, apart from Tank Hunters) Strelky will have 2 upgrade options: either PPSh SMGs or DP LMGs.

3.1 is the latest CoH version, but EF has separate patches versions. Try clicking "check for updates" in your EF launcher.
WARNING: if you have 1.1x EF, you'd better redownload 1.2 full package, cause IIRC 1.1x in no more update-compatible.

Ostheer (new Jerry's faction) is not out yet and won't be out for some time (cause I have no Ostheer text to translate yet, sigh)
#48167

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

Thanks :)
As i said before the part of the MG´s are solved :)
Now for the update i remember having an update from the launcher very big like 80 or more MB and then some other 3 little ones and after that no more...and every time i click on check for updates it says that i´m already up to date...is this correct...?
Can i install the new package over the one i have?? i guess not...
But Thanks for the help friend :) and hurry up with the new faction ;) i can´t wait to play with them :)

Edit: Nevermind i checked the updates and i have the last one [IP address redacted] for EF so i have no problem :) Thanks to all the ppl that worked and helped to build this wonderful module! you guys should get a prize for this and the module should go Official and supported by THQ :)

Re: Eastern Front Patch 1.2 Full/Patch

@Rain
You had 1.10 and updated till 1.23.2, that was the last update relesed by now.

It's recomended to do as RecLESS said cuase some users had problems doing as you did. But looks like this wasn't the case.

One thing...you guys must change the AI of the mod because its almost impossible to play a normal game...the enemy with 1 unit of engenniers kill all my units and take all my points in seconds...i don´t have time to build a squad and they have the whole map already...it kills the game...
