Blitzkrieg Mod

Mod review

Certainly Blitzkrieg mod gives more dynamic change to the game mechanics and it is quite welcome to find quick outcomes from firefights and tactics, unit placement are much more important than in Vanila. Cover system is now much more important and influences the fights in a major way.

But the mod is complete mess when when talking about rest of the game desing. Mortars (especially on halftracks) are completely overpowered, beeing able to kill every infantry unit within one shot, and it would not be suprising if that happened when a Mortar shell hits right next t a bunched unit, but these units can kill infantry even behind cover.

It is also, completely unbalanced as German units are much more powerful and not even prohibitive prices can change the fact that Germans can just charge US MG positions but most importantly the can hold positions much better as well. If something has MG34/42 on it, it becomes an infantry killer. Even silly motocycle can destroy a full infantry unit behind "yellow" cover.

Mod Makers had also, very little knowledge about WW2 Tank weaponary and armour, and it look more now like a Germany fairytale about Tigers and Panthers than actual tank combat.

Moreover, tanks have very inconsistant way shooting, so you can't do much when a duel between a M4A3 Sherman and a PzIVH is going on. I can tell you only, that Sherman tanks are made as beating bags...

Balance is almost nonexistant.
