Frontline '44: A Better CoH2

Description
This mod is a massive game rework with an emphasis on intuitive realism (as opposed to total historical accuracy) and consistency. If you feel like CoH2 has some immersion-breaking issues right now, you might appreciate my fixes and improvements.

These include all of the following (in summary - a detailed list would be very long indeed):

+ Many, many changes to each faction (see topic listing these)
+ Lots of commander abilities swapped/replaced/restored (see topic listing these)
+ Innumerable balance changes (some thanks to coh2.org members)
+ Several AI settings tweaked for somewhat better in-game results
+ Many professional-quality new icons, symbols and portraits
+ Reverted some official Relic changes which did not fit the Dreadbot vision
+ Fixes to numerous bugs ignored by Relic
+ All said there are over 4000 files in the mod archive

Overall the mod is closer to the original design of the game, and with the help of LeePriest (man of many Steam names) I keep things as balanced as possible for competitive play. A lot of time and thought has gone into every aspect of this mod, so there's a good chance you'll take a liking to it.

I welcome your bug reports and suggestions, but remember that I am one just one guy trying to keep it all together :)

Acknowledgements:
Unit symbols for Combat Engineers and Pioneers; weapon icons for PTRS, DP-28, Flammenwerfer 35, LMG42 and LMG34; summer and winter portraits for OKW HMG crew all by Kasarov.

Note: Steam apparently doesn't show the last updated date for discussion topics, so they may be updated even if it doesn't look like it.

This mod has a bug that can't upgrade the Panzerschreck gun.

have to agree with General Shyguy, the AI constantly using arty abilities on my HQ is annoying.
General Shyguy 29 Jul, 2019 @ 11:02am 
Please for the love of god just remove the use of arty abilities inside bases, all it does is break the fucking game.

Almost forgot not being able to build defences inside the base limit, this is very noticeable on smaller maps or maps with large base zones so is there a chance you might change this in the future?
General Shyguy 31 Mar, 2019 @ 5:48pm 
Is it possible for you to disable commander abilities being used inside an enemy base, the AI has a habit of abusing this to hell and back given how they have no FoW and with players it just because a case of who gets the railway strike first.

I'm not sure. I'll mention it to Leepriest next time we talk and see what he thinks.

Ill give that list a look thank you. What did you think about adding body permenance .I had another mod that did that but it would be cool if it was part of yours .A combo of my 2 favourite mods :)

Relic added the KV-1 to several additional commanders - in my opinion far too many, as the KV-1 was more of an early war tank and not built in particularly high numbers in real life. As such, it is only available from Soviet Industry Tactics and Soviet Reserve Army in the mod (please check out the commander database, linked above, to see all commander abilities in the mod). The M4C Sherman, however, should absolutely still be available from Lend Lease Tactics as a call-in.

Guard Rifle Combined Arms Tactics . I've played with the the mod disable and i have access to the tank so it is most likely a conflict with your mod. I hope you can fix this because this mod is awesome and i would hate to have to stop using it over a single tank and because your AI tweaks are a godsend.

EDIT : just noticed that the same thing happens with the Sherman from the lend lease tactics commander.

Also i was wondering if its possible to make bodies stay after death ? i think it would add to the game and make front-lines and skirmish heavy areas more visible . just a thought.
