fire value for mortars

[Strela]

Hi everyone,

We have spent the time to review the game code to see what was happening regarding the stack modifiers.

As highlighted in this thread there was a difference between direct and indirect fire. Essentially, Direct Fire was scaling up from 1.0 as per the manual, but Indirect Fire was both scaling up and down, based upon the target size. If a unit was below the 1.0 level then that lower value was applied to the combat.

We believe this came from some early testing done back when Panzer battles was being created, i.e. long before WDS took over the code.

We have changed the code so stack modifiers work as per the manual, i.e. values will at a minimum be 1.0x.

With that in mind we have changed the North Africa build and would like people to have a look at it before we update all the games in the series.

If people would like to download the beta version of the North Africa game exe get it from here; NA 1941 Beta build

Please do back up your current game exe so you can revert please.

Thanks in advance and any commentary in this thread please.
