Patch 1.5 Preview - Shoutcast

Nah it didn't take long.

yes it was realy fast
update is only 245mb so not that big^^

new changelog is awesome, thank you Rizz...

though one thing bothers me:

For the Motherland
* Conscripts can be upgraded with full rifles for 50 munition per squad.

this ability will be, frankly speaking, useless. Find me somebody who's going to pay 50 mun to give those guys extra rifles... they die like flies, and mostly are used to... rush&die tactics... damn, even with 25 munitions I would wonder if it's worth to upgrade them.

It's worth it when you have no other infantry while you go for guards, fast vehicles or whatever. 50MU is nothing, especially for that side of the doc that doesn't use any munitions.

Killar, Ape game now?

End-game their reenforce becomes 6 reenforce per man...  I'm not sure if you know how cheap that is.  Volks are like 22 reenforce, Grens are like 37.

QFT

Especially with them not being able to gain vet (which I don't understand why this was necessary) - the upgrade doesn't seem like it's worth it.

you guys balanced that, so I guess you are right and I'm just pointlessly whining  ::) we will see how it works ingame  :)

its more fore the t1 t3 -> light tank tactic
in this case you havent better infantry and like dennis said 50mun is nothing if you take this tactic

* Hmmm... ...
Download should be called 1.4_to_1.5 upgrade or something.
Some people might think this is a new full install :p No?

At work atm, looking forward to testing this out tonight :)

Good work guys!

Yes I now get to sacrifice dirt cheap conscripts

Hey will EF ever do another shoutcast ???. And if you do, will it be user sumitted vids(which could be fun) or the same ppl will play again (which IMO might get boring after a while), or just different balancers(which seems better)

atm we are talking about a new beta shoutcast
but its not written is stones yet
