Notes

Hey Markr
Firstly I'd like to thank you for your tireless work on this mod. I really do think it improved in terms of quality over the years I have been playing. I think this is to your merit that this mod flourished. You have been the guy that doing most of the work and balance discussing.

My decision of leaving the community is caused by my personal life. It's not because BK become bad so I decided to leave - it's actually too addictive for me to continue. I have 4 months old daughter, I got to get good grades this year and possibly find a job. That's the biggest reason why I am leaving. However it's true that I have been getting increasingly annoyed and salty in game. I wont lie - axis are really losing the favour. BUT I am not sure if it's because of dev's balance. I think it's my skill that improved that much (yes I am very modest :D). I learned so much from playing with Mencius Moldburg and the game became too boring as allies for me. I know you haven't talked too much with him but this guy was a real revolutionary. His style for brits was copied by many people - that's why recently people say that brits are strong. He also found tones of abusables, glitches and errors in corsix. It started with glider crush, but there is much more. He shared them with me and Danikas. We were the best team of bk for like 3 months when we played. Now we all left for various reasons. I decided to reveal those abusables to you, cause we don't care anymore.



CW Command tank's bonuses stack - Please if you want to see how brit's tanks can fire every 2 sec on a distance of half of the map - build 10 command tanks. This is fun. But just 2 command tanks are enough to outrange every other enemy tank with firefly. (Please try 10 command tanks or more with priest or 75mm halftrack - they fire like machine gun - it's even better than US inf call in arty)

Hetzer has upkeep of 1 mp - it's a digit error in corsix file. Actually something with hetzer is not ok because we made tests where it bounced 6 AP shots from 17p in a row. It also one-shoots Pershings form camo (I guess it's a bit too much lol)

Mark target ability for all factions stacks - As RE you can build 2 recces and use MT simultaneously - two 0.50 will kill ANY inf in 5 seconds. We have made a test with 10 recces: RE sappers with stens killed SS squad on max distance in 5 seconds.

PE suppressing fire with G43 also stacks With 3-4 squads you can make enemy retreating squad freeze in one place. It's a way to kill anything.

Luftwaffe land pioneers They can be only dropped on friendly territory? Yea, but if you are on enemy territory, you can still trop them directly over a friendly unit

100 meters land mine throw I will tell you how to replicate that. I am not sure if my instructions will be good enough.
- Build a trench
- Put sappers/engineers/pios in it. They should have "throw mine" ability now
- The range of that mine is super small
- Now put an enemy squad on max distance of fire - so they just fire at each other from far away
- RIGHT CLICK on the enemy with your sappers in trench - give them attack order
- Now select the mine ability and throw it IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ENEMY (but not outside ability range ring)
- The mine will fly 100 meters and land directly on the enemy

* This works with all throwable things and only from buildings
* 50:50 times using this glitch in a BUILDING (not trench) it consumes ammo but nothing happens (I guess it depends on windows)

(If I didn't uninstall bk I would make a video for you, but sorry I have no bk anymore :P. If it doesn't work for the first time try a few times more with different angles/rangers of throw)

Axis tank traps WHEN UNFINISHED they are unkillable with small arms fire. That means you don't need to finish them - only start the building with like 1%, then leave it and it still works like finished one. That also creates some sort of "gate" that allows you to demolish them when you want to do a surprise attack on that flank. (NOT TESTED THOU)

RAF commando perma cammo
This one is really OP.
- unlock camo for commanods
- See the enemy
- Use camo button to INSTANTLY camo yourself (got to be in cover)
- Start shooting (with big buffs from camo shooting that last even 3 sec after you decamo)
- When you decamo HIT THE SAME BUTTON AGAIN TO CAMMO AGAIN and keep killing anything
- ????
- Repeat forever to be invisible forever. Profit

Ultra rapid AT gun fire
That's a glitch we have been abusing a lot and I admit it. I even saw people copying us so now it's getting more popular. It's super easy.
- works with any AT gun/pak
- Enemy comes - your gun fires. Boom.
- Now it should be reloading.. BUT. Order your gun to move somewhere (anywhere)
- After you ordered, your men step away from your gun and prepare to move it
- Now quickly cancel the order - they will come back to the gun
- AND FIRE INSTANTLY without reload
- Repeat forever and profit.

Not really glitches but things that we observed and stuff
- Comet has 1/3 of tiger's upkeep. That's a thing that has always made Danikas and Mencius laugh.
- Gebirsjaegers have higher DPS without the LMG (lol)
- We have made volks vs rangers test. 10 fights on max distance in green cover without any upgrades. Outcome 5:5.
- Royal Engie sappers finish roadblocks in 7-10 seconds (super fast). They are also free (super op if you abuse them everywhere)
- You can say otherwise - but blitz is useless vs emplacements. Maultier may decrew (but honestly who doesnt expect that and isn't prepared to recrew instantly), Stuh dies to any arty or 1 AT gun shot, Storms can be denied by a simple spotter/recce/m10/M16. On paper they might work but even half-smart player can lock you efortlessly. I'd suggest you to rework maultier damage. We noticed that it does huge damage to america structures but almost none to british ones.
- Commando piats are still 8 pop instead of 6
- Gebirgs faust 1 shots at guns
- Wirbelwind has the longest aim time in game :OO.
****Ranger squad arrives
**** Wirbel. . . . . . . . pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
**** 1 ranger dies
**** Wirbel (another 4 seconds because switching to another soldier) pa pa pa...
**** Rangers not there, already retreated.
**** Ostwind/M16 lauging in 0.1 aimtime...



That's my tribute to my favourite game of all time. I had really awesome time with it, thank you. But now please delete my account, because I am still mechanically loging in almost everyday. And I want to practically forget about bk, because I already miss it. (If you don't delete it I will post this list in bugs section :D:D:D [not jking], also please say in the next changelog that me, Mencius and Danikas helped you a bit, cuz we became bk legends bruuuh!!!!)

Alright man. Good luck with BK and life. Cheers

PS. Don't listen to Tiger saying that I left because of fucked up balance. I rethought my attitude a bit. I also believe that you are not ignoring community voice and you are gonna buff axis somehow soon.
