Patch 5.3.6: Live as of 2 January 2025 & a Small Fireside ChatJan 14, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsMerry Belated Christmas and Happy New Years, fellow Blitzkriegers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31338002/e60a5851303359b642989765fdbfeaf901b18bd4.png We hope you all got to spend time with your loved ones over these holidays and had whatever end to the year you desired, be it exciting, cozy, calm, or filled with champagne. We toast to your health and the health of your families and friends! First, a word from Tiger who first broke the news on discord: Happy new year fellow Blitzkriegers! it's been more than 10 years that our beloved BK MOD being developed.. & in late 2017, thx to the support of the community and the hard work of the Dev team, we also made it to Steam! Which expanded the MOD's accessibility & player base. The dev team remained committed to updating the game out of pure passion.. particularly @MarKr who spent countless hours working on game patches for many of the previous years, efforts that continued until even today! It's true - there was a small patch: Fixes: (v5.3.6) 105mm "naked" howitzer in Defensive doctrine now has the same ammo upkeep as the emplaced version (was 0) Urban Stormtroopers limited to 3 squads at a time (from unlimited) Sturmtiger can no longer use its ability and rotate in place when it is detracked Sturmtiger should no longer be buildable in infantry-only mode It should be no longer possible to glitch Commandos glider's cost or get squads for free You may have been wondering about the mod's progress, especially as development slowed and communication paused.. The issue is time, or lack of it. This mod's been in development for over 10 years and over this years, developers have come and go. Last year, MarKr, the head developer, made a small announcement that I believe went largely unnoticed: Hello, this update has gone live and along with it I wanted to officially announce that I step down from active development of BK mod. I wanted to do it a few times in the past when I got pissed by certain people but now it is more of a combination of other factors in my life that made me decide for this step, arguing with certain people still pisses me off, but that is a secondary reason, not primary. I joined the dev team when I still studied university. During my time as a dev I managed to finish university, get a job, get engaged, have a daughter (1 year and 2 months now), get married, and a year ago we bought a house which we've been reconstructing for the past year. As a result, I don't have as much free time as I would like to have and when I finally get to sit down in the evening and get some time to relax, I want to blow off some steam by mindlessly blowing up some Zeds in KF2 or just playing whatever I currently enjoy rather than go and keep arguing over and over if mortars should be suppression devices or that gun X should have 5% more penetration vs unit Y and whatnot. I didn't want to leave the game in some half-assed state. While there will always be some people complaining about the state of the game and claiming tha...Patch 5.3.4: Live as of 7 Jan 2024Jan 12, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsMerry (belated) Christmas and Happy New Year's, BK Fans! We hope you all is well with you and your families. To get the year started, we have another small patch that contains some general changes, some changes with RE Doctrine, and some bug-fixes. I know this patch seems small but please keep in mind we're also running a beta to test what may end up being one of the biggest improvements to the mod to date. General Changes: 1. The Suppression Mechanic The 'Suppression' ability has been changed. Players complained on the discord that it was too expensive as an ability and too inconsistent in its effects to justify its use or cost. Now always suppresses target squad after set time, no matter the target's cover or other bonuses Time to suppress set to 6-7 seconds The squad using the ability is 25% harder to suppress when the ability is active Cost reduced to 20 ammunition Suppression Volley" in PE (ability gained with G43 upgrade) now also works as "Suppression Fire" ability, so it no longer "slows down" its target but it now guarantees suppression after 6-7 seconds2. Removed HE shot abilities from US 76mm gun, CW 17 pounder These abilities were bugged on these guns and either wouldn't fire at all but still use player munitions would the ability would activate, or they wouldn't just never activate as the gun kept rotating and packing up repeatedly. The devs haven't found a fix yet, so these abilities have been disabled for now. 3. Infantry Squad Grenade Change Infantry squads able to throw grenades get a -5 munitions reduction cost to the grenade ability at Vet 3 and Vet 5. This only applies to the "normal" grenades, not stickies, gammon, sleeved grenades, or stun grenades. These changes were meant to give a light buff to infantry to make them a little easier to use as the game went on without being a heavy handed change that spiraled out of control. British Changes 1. RE: Churchill AVRE Changes increased cost to 420MP 50F (from 350MP 40F) Increased "Fire petard shot" range to 50 (from 35) Petard shot adjusted to always land closer to selected place (won't over/undershoot THAT much anymore) When in Hulldown position AVRE now slowly repairs damaged vehicles nearby (range 20) Can now spawn, RE Sapper squads as well as 6 pounder and 17 pounder AT guns and Repair Bren RE Glider no longer deploys repair engineers (the ones who passively repair damaged vehicles nearby)The Churchill AVRE has been in an awkward position for much of BK's history, caught in the buff nerf cycle for years because the community has never arrived at a consensus to determine where it truly fits in the British faction and how strong or weak it should be. Mostly recently, players contended that it wasn't really useful in its current state (nerfed from being a tad too strong I believe). So the devs have made a bunch of smaller chages that have been designed to make it more useful on the battlefield while not making it oppressive to face on the opposing side. The RE Glider change was ...5.3.4 Beta PatchOct 10, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello to all Blitzkrieg fans! I’m happy to announce Blitzkrieg Mod's newest 5.3.4 Beta Patch. It’s a relatively small patch that is mostly concerned with bug fixes, detailed below: Changelog: Allies: Fixed an exploit where you could bypass the limit of 1 for US snipers. SAS squad no longer has inconsistent detection radius. When CW captures Pak36, it will no longer lose camo ability. Penetration values of Bazookas and PIATs vs allied targets set to more reasonable values. Axis: Assault Grenadiers with both G43 and LMG upgrades now properly display the option to switch between Tank Button and Suppressive Volley abilities. Sabotage squad in SE doctrine now properly displays Teller mines. Zeal now provides bonuses when Volkssturm have 7 men squad size and lose 1 man. Penetration values of Bazookas and PIATs vs allied targets set to more reasonable values. Your old replays will not be compatible with this patch. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/aa26/teoconnell/BK_Head_Laser_Eyes.jpeg Don’t worry – we’re not done yet! I’m also happy to announce a new beta – BK Beta Patch 5.3.41! This patch focuses on infantry changes and maps. Infantry Combat Changes: Suppression ability change This ability was not used very often because it provided inconsistent results. Sometimes it happened that you spent 40 ammo, clicked on a squad and it didn't get suppressed at all. We wanted to make sure that the ability actually does what it is intended to do. That is, to suppress the targetted squad every time. We changed the internal working of the ability and now it should always put the target into a suppressed state after aprox. 2-3 seconds after clicking on the target, no matter if the squad is in cover, has veterancy, is elite etc. It doesn't matter how many "received suppression" modifiers the target squad has stacked, they should get suppressed. Note, however, that abilities that "shrug off" suppression (Fireup, Heroic Assault etc.) will still remove the suppression effect that this ability applies. This ability needs to be tested for possible problems. That may be unintended behavior (e.g. squads still don't get suppressed in some situations) or balance issues - is it still too weak, too strong or "OK", is the cost appropriate to its effect etc. Suppression ability now always suppresses the targeted squad within 2-3 seconds of activation. Veterancy reduces ammo cost of grenades This change was made to make veterancy on squads a bit more rewarding. -5 ammo on a grenade throw may not seem as much but it is still saving you ammo in the long run. We would like to know if you feel the change is OK, or needs some tweaking. E.g. the cost reductions should come at different vet levels etc. Infantry squads able to throw grenades get a -5 munitions reduction cost to the grenade ability at Vet 3 and Vet 5. This only applies to the "normal" grenades, not stickies, gammon, sleeved grenades, or stun grenades. Elite Infantry Combat Changes: There has been requests to make doc...BK Mod Fireside Chat - 5 October 2023Oct 5, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey all BK Fans! I know it's been quite lately so I just wanted to touch base with you guys and tell you our beloved mod is very much alive. Join me by the fire, won't you? https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/aa26/teoconnell/BK_Mod_Fireside.PNG Development continues apace, albeit at a slower pace. This is because two of our dev members have had things come up in their personal lives that take precedence over their online lives. Despite that, the dev team has been busy. There is a small patch in the works, mainly concerned with bug-fixing. It should release sometime soon and when it does I'll post the announcement both here and on discord along with the patch notes. But that's not the only thing that's in progress. There have been changes to the BK Mod Steam Forum, BK information is being collected and collated to improve player knowledge and understanding of the BK Mod and its systems, and I want your screenshots! There is one more thing in the works but I will save that for the next dev diary. BK Mod Steam Forum Changes First you will see that there are three new BK Steam Subforums. I've made some changes to the BK Mod steam forums. There are now three new subforums: Blitzkrieg Mod Patches Beta Patches and Feedback Bug Reporting and Technical Support The first two sub-forums are incomplete now but when I am done with them, they'll have every patch or beta patch cross-posted into them and a thread that lists every patch and beta patch ever released. The bug-reporting and technical support sub-forum is self-explanatory. I'm doing this as part of one of my directives as dev communications specialist, to make the development of the Blitzkrieg Mod less opaque. That is, it will be easier to see the progression of patches, what was changed when, and why (if possible - many discord conversations that inspired dev patches are lost to the sands of time). In theory, this will help players and devs by answering typical questions related to patches or changes like "Why was X changed and when did that happen?". I expect that the beta sub-forum will become more busy with feedback in the future as all future BK betas get posted in it. As always, I'll be monitoring all these forums and will answer questions as best I can. If I can't answer the question, I'll find out the answer to the best of my ability. The Beginnings of a BK Wiki I have a pet project that I've been working that was borne out of my frustration with having to go into Corsix or the game every time I wanted to know a piece of information whether it was how much a unit costed, its weapon stats, its build time, its veterancy bonuses etc, or wanted to compare its stats to any other unit in the game. I realized that I may not be only one who's frustrated by this and also that this barrier to knowledge of the actual stats of the game hamper discussion in the community. Much of dev time is wasted when they are asked to look up stats in Corsix for players who find it difficult to parse corsix or tedio...New Dev Communications Specialist, WalderschmidtAug 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHi all, I'm Walderschmidt, the new developer communications specialist. The developer team noticed that even though communication with the community has improved since they moved their focus from the now ghost-town forum to the BK Official Discord, lots of players still use the steam forum to communicate their thoughts, feedback, ask questions, and talk about the mod. Unfortunately, given the fact that they work on this mod for free, they can only spare so much time to scour the discord channel, incorporate community feedback, develop the mod, and maintain their normal lives at the same time. This often meant that they rarely looked at the steam forums and consequently couldn't take advantage of another source of community input. You can see this by the dearth of updates in the news section. To fix this issue, they've appointed me as the new dev communications specialist. That means I will keep up with this forum, cross-posting mod updates as soon as they come out on discord, keep tabs on various threads with feedback, and answer questions every 4th Saturday of the month. Simply ask your questions on the Frequently Asked Questions thread and I will spend a few hours answering them to the best of my ability, or finding out the answers myself. Our first Saturday will be this next one on the 26th of August. To be clear, I'm not a developer (even though it says I have a developer tag in yellow). I'm just a guy who's been playing BK since 2017 and wants to lend a hand to the dev team. Feel free to ask me any questions here! WaldBlitzkrieg Mod 5.2.0 Major UpdateSep 14, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello everybody! Almost a year has passed since we've embarked on a project that would fundamentally change the mod. For those of you just finding out about these changes and the "beta" now, here's a quick catch up: For years BK has had a lot of trouble staying balanced between Axis and Allies. About a year and a half ago a survey was released to test a hypothesis on why the balance was always so volatile. The results in the survey found that a key reason why balance was also so difficult was because all the doctrines did not fall under a common design philosophy. Some doctrines were very specialized and required teamwork, but when was well supported became over dominating monsters. Meanwhile, other doctrines were well rounded and independent, able to put up a good fight but never had the same overwhelming end-game power as other doctrines. Additionally, there were clear "rock paper scissors" game strategies where certain doctrines were clear counters to other doctrines. The made it hard for players to play their favorite doctrines if an opponent simply chose a pure counter. After dozens of surveys to players, long forum discussions, and watching endless replays, the devs decided to make a first "test" changes as a pilot with the iconic armor doctrine vs blitzkrieg doctrine. The results were promising. It was decided that all doctrines would benefit if they were balanced to be playable in 1v1's against all other doctrines. The reworks on doctrines focused not specifically on balancing the game but removing the "rock paper scissors" element of doctrine choice in games. With more standardized doctrine designs, balance should theoretically be much easier in the long run. The time has finally come where we can release the 5.2.0 patch, an accumulated year's worth of effort in "modernizing" the Blitzkrieg Mod which features new doctrines, reworked classic doctrines, and updated fixes and mechanics. In addition to the feature changes, we also are introducing a new map! Because the mod has been tweaked to make the game 1v1-playable, we created a BK specifically designed 1v1 map. We look forward to seeing games and watching replays of the new doctrines! As the map name suggests, there is a high probability we will be hosting a 1v1 tournament soon as a way of celebrating the new patch. We were so focused on making sure the patch was bug free and making final tweaks before the release, so we don't yet have all the details just yet. We will begin organizing for that soon enough. You can see the really big changelog on our forum: forum.bkmod.net Many thanks to all beta testers and our forum users for providing a lot of great feedback. As always, we hope you like the changes and see you in game!Blitzkrieg Mod 5.1.7 UpdateMar 26, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello to all Blitzkrieg fans! With a bit of a delay (sorry for that) we officially announce the release of 5.1.7 update for the Blitzkrieg mod.
