New Vets:

Veteran Upgrades:
XP Levels: 10, 40, 150
Lose 10% on loss.

The number in brackets represents the amount of exp they'll need to gain veterancy.  Thus a (2.0) for a unit means that when they receive 10 exp they will surpass their vet 1 of 5 exp; a (0.5) for a unit means that when they receive 10 exp they will not gain vet 1 which requires 20 exp.

Yay Pumas are now cheaper than infantry.  Time to purchase 30 Pumas, aside from that will have to try out other changes.

[Bonte]

no more speed buff for stormtroopers?..actually as lightningwar i hate the puma changes...no more speed buffs, and now it is more fuel

[salan]

puma's are cheaper then volks you do realize that, we just faught theta on the old costs and he had 17 puma's, 6 upgunned, tore shit up

How am I going to keep my Vet3 Officer alive now if it gets spotted? Plus don't Officers already start out with Heroic Armor? (Which means basically a Vet 2 it basically just nerfed itself.)

[salan]

i love the change for vet, its nice to go back to basics with it!  it was balanced for a reason , will need some testing for sure!

[TheDeadlyShoe]

He he... so much infantry elite... time to break out the flamethrowers.

@ Holt: The officer starts with Heroic critical resistance (makes them not insta die to snipers), but not Heroic weapon resistance.

[boobaka]

so all the special EIR vet bonus we had are gone?! 

[boobaka]

so all the special EIR vet bonus we had are gone?! 

[salan]

vet 3 skirts , are a awesome change!  justifies the raise in rangers right there...


anyways, i'll play both sides, but this change was so needed

so all the special EIR vet bonus we had are gone?! 

its good if they are , they weren't really balanced man

[Doce]

puma's are cheaper then volks you do realize that, we just faught theta on the old costs and he had 17 puma's, 6 upgunned, tore shit up

Allies do this and M8's get nerfed. Hopefully Axis will get the same.

[Lolto]

nvm delete this

[boobaka]

i know but i still want the old vet!! they made more difference for the gameplay and differed EIR from vCoh.. but the vet looks more balanced now!

[Draygon]

Boob, I think they are setting things up for 2.0.  Supposedly there will be more vet levels in it.
