Is that true that buildings is no longer provide sufficient cover for infantry, in oppose of classic CCs? During my first steps in Caen I`m quickly realize, that infantry in buildings is easily got killed out by mortar fire (even from 2cm mortars) and by machine guns. Infantry in trenches, instead, was virtually immortal from such threats. Generally, will be better to entrench infantry in fiends instead of placing into buildings in defensive missions?

In my experience cover in buildings was reduced significantly compared to previous releases.

[ScnelleMeyer]

From CC5 to GtC/PITF the level 2 Stone wall protection was adjusted like this :

Protection values was lowered from 40mm - 9mm
Top protection (vs mortars) from 15mm - 5mm
HE effect modifier (higher the number the more the effect is reduced) from 10 - 2 (2 is "average effect")

[mick_xe5]

Changing only the L2 stone wall values this way sounds like a dev experiment that escaped into the release versions.

Another issue with bldg protection is some all to frequent miscoding of bldgs where adjoining rooms are at different levels. In the example below, miscoding the adjoining wall as L1 leaves that end of the L2 section open and unprotected.

Without a consistent map coding style guide, post-Atomic CC maps have suffered from a hodgepodge of map coding interpretations.

Thank you for explanation. So now we have giirly soldiers accompanied with houses of cards.

Here is the minimod to increase cover of buildings. Its mostly protection values from The Longest day that has been implemented.
Not tested a great deal, but mortars will now have a much harder time slaughtering infantry in buildings - They will however suppress effectively.

I also added a vehicle mod to make all vehicles more agile and less likely to zig-zag. - there are small changes in the elements to support this.

Feedback welcome!

Install directions:
Put the folder into your GtC directory.
You might have to update the shortcut target to your install directory.
Start the mod via the shortcut.

Thank you Scnelle Meyer
"I also added a vehicle mod to make all vehicles more agile and less likely to zig-zag."

!Best mod ever!

Now the vehicles have in clear terrain at last the same speed as infantry (without fatigue)
Without this changes much of the light vehicles was more or less useless

Thank you very much      (o,o; )

Thanks a lot for the feedback michazech!  - Glad you like the changes.

I play with this mod myself as well and its now unthinkable to go back to original values for me.

That´s right,

In one of my first tryouts i simply outflanked a Tigertank with a Churchill (...just to get killed in front of him by a panzerfaust-team)
Maybe the turret of the Tigertank was to slow for adjusting at target.


Far from infantry-support-missions tanks now be able to break through enemy lines and maneuver in the open.

It´s look like the germans now have the "technical" capabilities for blitzkrieg-counterstrike-tactics.

The original vehicle-"behaviour" is mysterious.
Don´t know why a strategy-game that puts the emphasis on REAL chose a lame-duck-value for vehicles
although it shouldn't be too difficult for developers to give some speed options or such things, maybe in the mission-settings
Is it up to the limeted map size?

What ever

Towed guns and monted infantry for GTC is a good innovation.
I´m sure, with your speed-mod the campaigns and battles become more flexible.

A great Mod
A challenge for all my previous CC-tactics

Best regards
