A new patch has been released for Company of Heroes, taking one of the best games of last year up to version 1.5. There are two new maps (only 2p and 4p, no big ones) and a stack of balance changes - here's a snippet:

- Sherman Calliope’s main tank gun has been removed and the Calliope Barrage ability is now free to use.
- Allied M10 Tank Destroyer weapon damage has been increased and Fuel cost has been reduced by 5.
- Allied M8 Armored Car Armor upgrade Munitions cost reduced by 25.
- All Infantry Anti-Tank weaponry (Bazooka, Recoilless Rifle, Panzerschreck) are slightly more accurate when firing at moving light targets.
- Allied Bazookas and Recoilless Rifles now deal slightly more damage to Light Vehicles
- Axis Flak 88’s are more resilient to Artillery, off-map attacks, and satchel charges (the crew manning them is not).

Check out the full list and download the patch (from v1.4) locally from AusGamers.

haha that sucks

I don't use the calliope's turret gun much, it doesn't do much damage

usually let it hang back and just use it's barrage

- All Snipers more effective against units garrisoned inside of bunkers.

Sweet.
Looks like allies got it pretty sweet overall.

f*** .. where's the patch for portable howitzers?

I love setting up that gun in the middle of a map :(

The Nebelwerfer arent as good as howitzers, probably why they arent portable. Anyways in 1v1 maps you can set them up close enough to home base.

Just get the ones on the light vehicles, they rule.

No wonder the allies won the war with nerfs like these.

^^^ , I now what you mean. EA is worse though
