Better Balance & QoL

This mod is probably the BEST balance mod out there (IMO), it adds a ton of quality of life stuff and is a load of fun all around.
It would take too long to wright down all the stuff that was changed, and it literally wouldn't fit in the description.
So i suggest ya give the mod a try if you're curious, you will probably like it.

About the mod: Old Names the mod as gone by, Coh2 Actually Balanced, No Mod, The Best Balance Mod.
This mod is NOT a 'Hardcore/all units die instantly/Realism Mod', nor is it an 'All Units' mod.
It will never be like those mods, so if that is what you are after, please look elsewhere.

If i had to describe the mod, id say its a soft realsim mod. It still plays like a Arcade RTS game, but the Mod is aimed at making the game more balanced, competive, fun.
It is akin to Coh1 in the sense that all factions have similar unit calsses.
all factions can also dig in and make field defenses, regardless of doctorine. After all diging a hole, filling sandbags or laying some wire isnt 'Ancient lost tech?' that should be locked behind a commander XD

But in keeping with its soft realsim aspect several new abilities and unit reworks have been applied to prevent silly things that did not and could not exist irl. Speaking of, when i make the coh3 mod that will be a big theme again, several weird abilities will get the axe.

This mod is very old at this point and was built using an older version of the base CoH 2 game, So their may be alot of things that people who havent played the game before 2014 arent use to, but those that do remember how things were back then might be pleasantly suppresied. That being said the mod doesnt just favor coh1s way of doing things, i tried to save alo tof the best aspects of classic coh2, or improves upon its features.
For example: units will deploy at the edge of the map, and the OKW buildings have their medic and eingeer upgrades automatically aplied for free, because thats how they were back in the day, and i saw no good reason on why it should be removed.
The US has its LT and Captian use to have BAR/Bazooka upgrades automatically applied.
But instead this has been changed to a free players choice of Bars or Bazookas. Keeping the classic Coh2 way of doing things but improving upon it.


Q/A:
Q:Why did you make this mod?
A:This mod was created to balance out the game and bring back some of that COH1 Classic feeling. It also adds alot of quality of life changes and reworks alot of the unit trees and unit costs. Ironically sense the mod is SO old at this point, alot of the features i use to have exclusive to the mod, have been folded into base coh2 and even coh3.
Their is not enough room in the description to make a complete list of changes in the mod, so you will need to download and try it out if you are curious.

But here are a few things this mod does.
Quality of life:
Adds a "Target Air Only" mode to all vehicle based AA guns.

Adds a scuttle ability to all field emplacements from bunkers and flak guns, to artillery and heavy AT guns. Scuttling will refund some of your initial investment and free up population for your army.

Adds basic field defenses to all armies.
barbwire, sandbags, trenches, ect ect.

Reworks the gameplay for AA Vs Planes. It takes the planes off the 'critical chance system' the default game uses, and moves them to an accuracy & HP/Damage based system.


Other:
Large Caliper Assault vehicles (105mm Sherman, Brumbar, KV2, StermTiger, AVRE ect ect) now have a chance to stun enemy vehicles, blow tracks, damage vision slits ect ect, when their shots fail to pen targets.
German Infantry squad size changed from 4 to 5 men for the 4 types of grenider squad.
normal,volks, and panzer.
Please do note that because of this change, these units have had their (4 man squad) Bonus Evasion and damage REMOVED from them because they use to be 4 man squads and are now 5 man squads. if i had left this and increased the squad size, they would have been overpowered.

Multiple Units HP, Armor, Damage, Accuracy, and Penetration reworked.
I standaidized Penetration and damaged based off Gun Size, rather than the arbitary system Default coh2 uses.
so if for example: you have a Cromwell cannon on a armored cars body (the AEC).. Then you will have a cromwells cannon, not some artifically weaker thing like in default coh2. the fact you are a armoed car and thus have less HP and armor than a tank, is enough of a difference, ya dont need to also have a magically worse gun despite it being the same one as what is found on the tanks. Like how it is in default coh2.

Army Trees Reworked and mirrored with a COH1 style progression in mind. i left in the option to skip over certain chunks of your army though, like in default coh2. Example if you are the US and you want to blitz tanks, you can still get the LT and skip the captain, or get the captain and skip the LT then go for major. Again any army can do this, not just the example im giving here.

The mod also tries to plug gaps in all of the armies in game by adding some new weapons or units that were lacking in certain armies.
Example: all armies will now have some kind of recon car, a sniper, mortar, at gun, HMG, ect ect.
The mod also adds AT rifles for early game counters to cars and halftracks to the Wher and russian armies.

Adds 76mm Shermans and Ranger Elite infantry to the US army in addition to the Jeep, mortars and snipers.

OKW has a new PanzerJager infantry unit for deticated Anit Armor work.

This mod is not a new mod, it is pretty old and my mod's US army had these units in it LONG before the default game did.


Reworked Commanders:
Sherman Reserve upgrade, changed to an Easy Eight callin, sense i already have normal 76mm shermans buildable by default.

M16AA Halftrack added to the US, M15 Replaces the .50 cal jeep in the mechanized commander. Jeep added by default.

M8 Greyhound Added by default to replace the M20 Car. M20 added to the US recon commander, commando points and cost adjusted accordingly and M20 reworked into a very good recon unit with appropiate bonuses.

M7 Priest added to the US army by default as they were the only army that did not have some kind of heavy late game artillery, and any commander that had a Priest in it, now calls in a Calliope instead.
German commander "Jager Infantry upgrade" changed. the upgrade will still give Grenadiers G43s, but it will enable Panzer-Grenadiers to get STG44s.
Panzergrens have had their default STG 44s swapped for G43s because they were to powerful.

MULTIPLE units have a toggle on their AT weapons so they can put them away if not needed, or pull them back out.

The list goes on but this is a small sample of what you can expect with this mod.
Again, It would be way to long to fit the whole list in the description. If you are curious about the mod just download and try it, explore the factions for a few games and have fun.
I think most of you reading this will like the mod.
