Blitzkrieg Mod Patch 4.9.7 Released!

Wolf — Wed, 08 Mar 2017 21:28:35 +0000

Hello everyone! After a shorter while this time, we bring to you a new patch - 4.9.7.

At first we wanted to make this version just a hotfix for some critical problems that occurred in 4.9.6 but in the end we implemented a few more things, so that is why it took longer than we initially announced. Tanks with 90mm guns have now higher fuel upkeep which should make it a little bit harder for Armor player to maintain a constant force of several Pershings in the field. Endro also provided a fixed version of his reverse system. If you notice any problem with it, let us know.

Majority of the changes were done by MarKr, so big props to him.

Blitzkrieg Mod Patch 4.9.6 and Mappack II Released!

Wolf — Wed, 15 Feb 2017 20:16:01 +0000

Hello everyone! After a long time we bring to you a new patch - 4.9.6.

The patch should balance several things in the current meta - Mortar halftracks are delayed (for CW mortar pit), CW can build BOYS team without having Lieutenant first, some price drops for Axis units should make the early game a little bit more forgiving should you lose a squad, and a big change is the new aim time for hand-held AT weapons (this was made mainly to prevent rapid-shooting bug but people who played beta actually liked the system as it makes the (by many hated) "run to tank, fire and retreat" tactics harder). Tank commanders provide different buffs now and also are a bit cheaper. Royal Artillery doctrine has Dummy guns and Sector smoke reworked so they will hopefuly be more useful now. PIV F2 still has the same stats but now it is cheaper, can deploy smoke cover (either to retreat safely or for advancing infantry) and with working HE shots (yes, the finally work!) it can also deal with infantry now more effectively - it is still not a good idea to send it alone but it can be more useful as a support for infantry. Luft doctrine got some attention to their airstrikes which should be more effective now and Reg5 got a nerf to the Defensive bonus they got last time. We also fixed several bugs, added abilities to some units, after a long time we added new units - Panzer III aufs. N and Sturmtiger and some textures were updated too. Check the change log for yourselves. We hope you will enjoy this one.

Majority of the changes were done by MarKr, so big props to him.

Blitzkrieg Mod Patch 4.9.5 Released!

Wolf — Sun, 03 Apr 2016 23:29:11 +0000

Hey guys! Another new patch for Blitzkrieg mod!

In this patch we changed veterancy levels a bit, so certain units like rangers, certain stormtroopers, certain commandos, snipers and some others will require a bit more XP to level up, some less.
All changes together should even the game a bit more, especially within doctrines of the same faction. Most "nerfs" were to Inf and Terror doctrines, which were played the most. Both AB and Luft got some buffs, we will see how it plays out. I would like to remember here, that not every doctrine should deal with everything and especially not with one unit. While there was a certain shift to that in the past, I wouldn't like to continue this trend. Also remember that playing games with or against multiple of the same doctine is not that of an example how to balance. If you will play against 4 arty doctrines you can ... surprisingly... expect loads of arty. And we will not change how arty doctrines work just because of that. Same applies to other doctrines, 4x RAF means that there will be planes all over the place. Also that something takes 4CP in the tree in one doctrine doesnt mean that there cant be the same unit in other doctine for 8CP.

Back to the patch .. It also features new mode called currently BK Fun Mode, in which all resource income is doubled, popcap static 350 - this mode will NOT be balanced and should not be played in "serious" games.

Majority of the changes were done by MarKr, so big props to him.

We also plan to make another mappack in near future, so stay tuned!

Blitzkrieg Mod Patch 4.8.8.0 Released!

Wolf — Sun, 22 Mar 2015 18:08:17 +0000

Hey guys, time for a new patch!

Please read all instructions in installer.

Install it on top of any 4.8.x.x version.

Download link & discussion + changelog here:
http://forum.bkmod.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=400

There is a new launcher executable included, so if you have some shortcut still pointing to the old one, you might want to redo it. Or just leave option in installer ticked to make it automatically.

This patch fixes broken early game balance and further tunes AA, that was the main focus, with additional AB changes.

Thank you for your donations, report any bugs you find on forums and have a nice game.

Patch 4.8.6.0 Issues solved!

Wolf — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 21:01:10 +0000

Hey guys,

some of you encountered problems with our latest release. With your help, these were identified as:

1) launcher crash on startup - that occured when you did not have .net framework 4(+) installed, launcher should now work correctly on 3.5 and 4.0+
2) spanish language versions did not start - I made simple mistake in spanish text files, that was fixed

So both of these were solved and all links are updated. Game files are still the same and that means if our first release worked for you, you don't have download anything, game will still be compatible.

Players who had issues please redownload 4.8.6.0 Patch.
If you had Full version installed, you can just install 4.8.6.0 Patch over it and it will fix the problems too, no need to redownload Full.

If you are downloading patch from MODDB, it will have different name, with .2 added to it. Do not worry, its the same patch.

PS: We know that jeep is a bit over the top now, will be reduced in 4.8.7.0

Sorry for any inconvenience,
Wolf

Blitzkrieg Mod Patch 4.8.6.0 Released!

Wolf — Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:49:45 +0000

Hey guys, its getting repetitive - time for a new patch!

Please read all instructions in installer.

Be warned, that launcher will DELETE all files and subdirectories in your Blitzkrieg folder besides these used for BK Patch, that may include additional skins or files you might have saved there. Backup first, if you don't want to lose them.

Install it on top of any of these versions 4.8.0.0 / 4.8.1.0 / 4.8.2.0 / 4.8.3.0 / 4.8.5.0.

Download link & discussion + changelog here:
http://forum.bkmod.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=343

You can also download Full version there, but its not needed if you already had 4.8 before, its intended for new players.

Also we would like to inform you that old website is down, for unknown reason and since we cannot reach the old developer for a long time, we can't know for sure what happened.

As bkmod.net is currently the main website of Blitzkrieg mod and will also be for CoH2 Blitzkrieg mod, we added Donation button in upper menu, some of you asked how or where to send donations, here is your answer :)

Report any bugs on forums and have a nice game.

Edit: First posted version contained Launcher only for .net framework 4.0+ version, if you are getting crash while running launcher, please redownload the Patch (only patch is sufficient then, you can install patch over full version).

Wolf,
Blitzkrieg Mod Team
