Blitzkrieg is ruined!

[TheRohBird1]

This has been THE mod for me for half an eternity. Ive made multiple maps for coh only with this mod in mind. I have spent over 1200 hours enjoying a mod where i knew that i would get an enjoyable experience. It was reliable! Sadly this has changed. They changed the Big Mac recipe. I was happy when i saw the update and hoped to see new things added to the mod... But WHY did you mess with the balance and stats of units and abilities??? This was an opportunity to make a great mod even better by adding new things but nothing new was given exept 37mm nukes and piat at mortars that destroy even kingtigers. Once there was a meta in this game that punished bad positioning with tanks but now its just praying to the RNG that prevents your elefant being destroyed by a ****ing 37mm at gun from the front. If you call your Luftwaffe airstrikes they dont even come most of the time and the ability grays out and is unusable for the rest of the game (not that they would do much if they would come because henschel and stukas have been nerfed into oblivion). Strangely enough 20mm strikes can now kill tanks... I dont even care about the whole "autoaim with tankhunters thing" because im not into the mechanics (its definitely a change for the worse though). I dont play allies that often so i can not confirm the allied bias but it seems alot like the devs had a huge change of allegiances... Not that it would matter because the mod is ruined in other ways that prevent a further enjoyable experience for me. I tried to put this criticism as diplomatic as possible but im sad that writing this text (which most likely no one is going to read) is even necessary to get this out of my system. Im not going to come back to this mod if they dont revert their obvious mistakes.

I feel the same way. I still have 4.6 installed on the pre-steam version and it is much better this 5.2.

I try to like it but things like your tanks getting insta-killed by PIATs means I can't play against that faction. It's an exercise in frustration.

Heh, if that's how devs do to this game i might as well play MoWAS2 Robz Realism. Which far more complex and punishing than this mod

[One death guy]

it seems the devs dont care about unf**king the mod after what they did since it has been year since that disastrous update...

such shame...

they could at least add in Beta section that players can play the older build before this sh*tfest happened

Can you send that version to me?

Hi guys,
This new version is awfull. I played this mod for so many years but couldt continue playing it with this. There are missing units (you can unlock them but not build them!!!), etc.
I've been almost a year without playing it and gave it a new try.... and it just makes me angry.
How can I play the older version?
Cheers

i dont think you can play older versions in the steam version of the game, i haven't tried it, i have both versions and I'm playing on the 4.9 version non steam game, yeah they ruined the mod by making it player vs player

Anyway you could hook it up with 4.9? Really like the mod but I only play SP and it's not very SP friendly anymore.

First download the "Full 4.8.6.0 installation" in this link http://forum.bkmod.net/viewtopic.php?t=343, then download the Blitzkrieg Mod 4.9.8 Patch
and install http://forum.bkmod.net/viewtopic.php?t=1923, in the first link there's also a mappack installer.

Longtime player here. Another account with 3500 hrs. I have 2000 plus PVP games on this mod. Some of my thoughts:

The devs took a "dont tell me, tell the Bk mod forum" approach to community feedback. This led to a select few vocal people voicing their opinions to the devs. This was a disaster. The game was balanced perfectly fine as it was. and now it's not.

For example: The USA armour doctrine:: The USA armour doctrine get's not only cheaper early/mid tanks but also arguably the games best anti inf tank/unit in the Jumbo with HE shells but also the pershing which can beat even panther and tiger ace 1v1 but also(!!) the super pershing which is arguably the best tank in the game (rotating turret PLUS possibility of tank commander arty). And on top of tank superiority the armour doc comes with tank commander arty, rocket jeeep arty, and calliope arty (possibly best arty unit in game) not to mention on top of that the combat engineers that can be upgraded to come with vet to start. Just my opinion

Another thing that they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up is taking the rocket jeep away from usa inf doc. Rocket jeep and calliope are infantry company units in real life. but i digress.

Also, the SS units that can upgrade to the AT weapon (in the propaganda doc) are WAY OP. They do more damage than a tank hit. When I am USA Armour doc and I have a super pershing the worst unit possible is the panzer elite CHEAPEST infantry with the AT upgrade. The other thing that is most feared is the plane bombing that doesnt have any chance of being stopped by the AT guns (which have been nerfed) and also one of the bombing runs in game get's automatic hits on tanks even if the tank moves and the animation shows planes missing the tank. This only started happening after the "Beta" got released

Here's another problem. The big "beta" that got released a year ago whatever was tested extensively by a samll group of people who almost completely stopped playing regular BK and totally lost touch with the player base. The testing in beta FAILED. case in point is the USA armour doc getting the rocket jeep. USA armour doc can have all of 2 rocket jeeps, calliope, plus any number of tanks with tank commander arty PLUS mortar halftrack that does arty equivalent bombing, BRUH. There is a reason i have more wins with USA right now!

thats all. also KWOK is a BETA

mixed feelings

I have passed all the campaigns of the game 5 times,
I've been playing v5.0.0 for two days

I used to enjoy my riflemen with 5 bazookas, but now they don't shoot against infantry, and the option to deploy veterans removed!!!

or the security of sending 4 tanks to a battle, now they are papers

the population has been reduced, I would have preferred to raise the difficulty in another way...

Other than that, it's a lot of fun to have so many units and abilities available.
