Patch - Panzer Corps : Umfangreiche Änderungsliste

General changes
• Normalize Air Defense values for heavy armor of all nations to increase effectiveness of tactical bombers in Mid and Late War.
• Promote additional use of units that traditionally do not see use through stat and price balancing.
• All aircraft for all nations have received +6 Ground Defense to reduce damage taken from units such as Infantry with [1] attack value.
• All air defense units for all nations have received +7 Air Attack to compensate for the above change and improve air defense unit performance.
• All 1943 Infantry Variants for all nations have received +1 initiative to increase potency in close terrain battles.
• All anti-tank units of all nations have had a slight rule change. Instead of a -3 modifier on the offensive, this has been changed to a +3 modifier on the defensive. The net result is that Anti-tank units should perform better in terrain with initiative caps when they are on the defensive. To adjust for this change, all anti-tank units of all nations have had their initiative reduced by three.
• Soviet Aircraft have been raised to a level historically appropriate but one that is also suitable for effectively engaging the Luftwaffe.
• Infantry now retain experience bonus in close terrain.
• Increased ground defense of all Mid and Late war anti-tank units. Mid War towed ATG units increased to 7 Ground Defense, Late War towed ATG units increased to 8 Ground Defense.
• All Stukas have had a slight price increase.
• First series of Captured Units has been added to the German Unit Roster: Char B, Somua S35, Panhard Recon Car, Matilda II, Polish 105mm Artillery.
