The number in brackets represents the experience modifier for that unit.  A (2.0) means they will need half as much veterancy to gain a level (5, 20, 75).  A (0.5) means they will need twice as much veterancy to gain a level (20, 80, 300).  The modifier basically represents how fast a unit will level.

Calliope vet 3 is pretty worthless, if anything, it doesn't need extra range.
Calliope's a mobile artillery piece for a reason.

[Stuart750]

10 pts. more Range on a Vet 3 cali? Couldn't I just move my Calliope forward by 20 ft and make up for that?

Also, and longer range, the rocket barrage becomes more ineffective (Like a shotgun blast), would it be unreasonable to ask for the old 50% damage increase? Perhaps increased armour, or something that helps survivability, rather than better range.

Unkn0wn makes a valid point.

[Kolath]

Wow.  That must have been a ton of work!  Good job.  Cue the raving hordes...

[DerangedGerman]

Yay. A game-changing patch! People will bitch for weeks!

In all honesty, though, nice work. I'm glad you fixed Barrels and Field Repairs. Those were like "where did my cps go?" And that vet change. Wow. I bet that took forever to work out. I'll enjoy testing it.

[fldash]

YOU MAY EXPERIENCE SCAR ERRORS DUE TO LIMITED TESTING TIME AND THE INCLUSION OF LOTS OF NEW SCAR (MAINLY FOR MCP MESSAGES).

[Ucross]

Yeah, believe it or not probably the hardest change was the MCP messages.   But that's 2.0 necessary stuff so it's all good

[Unkn0wn]

I think the new veterancy is fine, will  likeky need some future tweaking left & right, some of those bonusses just make no sense. My main issue right now is that the allied doctrine specic AND expensive artillery is getting 'the shit nerfed out of it' (Yes exaggeration, just colouring my post ) overall while the axis can just keep their 100F no doctrine specific excellent nebelwerfers.

If these artillery changes stay in, the least that should be considered is a significant price increase on the nebelwerfer, which right now is the most cost-efficient artillery piece in the game.

[CatinHat]

Unknown does have a point.

[DerangedGerman]

It depends on play style.

People with many nebels will be severely lacking in munitions.

[Forefall]

Too few axis players go it imo.  I think it's awesome.  And I don't think it should be adjusted.

Mortar Crew(1.3)
1 Health Regeneration   0.035
2 Reload   1.5, Damage   1.6, Received Suppression   0.75
3 Reload   1.5, Damage   1.6

Wait, what?  Mortar crew takes LONGER to reload at higher Vet levels?

And does this mean that Grenadiers aren't going to get Elite Armor at all?

[RikiRude]

Looks like all good changes =)

[Forefall]

And the allied one actually does less damage at vet.  I think it's kind of cool. 

[Prydefalcn]

What's with the turret rotation on the Tiger/KT?

Otherwise, neat.
