MaJ v1.3.1.19658 (Umber Wasp Balance Tuning Update) - 2023/10/31 mardi Taille : ?Mo This Balance Tuning update is meant to alleviate some issues stemming from the Umber Wasp (1.3.0) update, and to provide some minor tuning adjustments to Multiplayer balance. This update also fixes an issue with framerates locking to 30 FPS. Here is a note on the goals of this update from Jason on our Balance team. General Pachino Stalemate (1vs1) and Sousse Wetlands (4vs4) have had their Automatch selection weight reset so they no longer have a higher chance of appearing. Our team will continue experimenting with this weighting in the future to try to find the best balance as we showcase new maps. Heavy Machine Guns Crew health decreased from 90 to 80. HMG 42 Team suppression dealt to suppressed targets reduced from 0.35 to 0.3. Vickers, M1919 Browning, and MG 34 suppression dealt to suppressed targets reduced from 0.5 to 0.4. HMG Incremental Accuracy standardized to 1.12. Infantry pin threshold increased from 0.5 to 0.65. Wide arc machine gun arcs reduced from 125 to 110. US Forces Riflemen M1 Garand cooldown modifier when in close quarters is reduced from 0.2 to 0.15. M24 Chaffee Light Tank Changes from 1.3.0 update reverted. Reload time decreased from 4/4.25 to 3.5/4 M8 Greyhound Area of Effect model cap increased from 2 to 3. The tracking speed of the turret increased by 33%. Wehrmacht Flak 30 20mm AA Gun Area of Effect model cap reduced from 3 to 2. Incremental accuracy bonus removed. Kettenkrad Communication Cables sight range now properly affects all resource points. Decapture rate from Communication Cables removed. No longer gains bonus sight range from veterancy. (Tooltip will be adjusted in a future update). Deutches Afrikakorps Axis 8 Rad Armored Car Main gun Area of Effect model cap reduced from 3 to 2. Receives +50% damage bonus to its coaxial machine gun rather than +100% from Armored Support Battlegroup’s Superior Fire Drills Panzergrenadiers Kar98k cooldown multiplier at close range has been increased from 0.35 to 0.45. Panzerjaegers Manpower cost increased from 250 to 275. Tear Gas Shot now requires Veterancy 1. Tear Gas Shot duration reduced from 10 to 3 seconds. Veteran Leaders Manpower cost increased from 200 to 250. No longer automatically reinforces Panzergrenadier Squads upon completion. Flak 36 Anti-Tank Gun Team Armor when decrewed reduced from 100 to 70; standardized with other team weapons Reload speed increased from 2.5/2.75 to 2.875/3.15; reload time increased by 15% Bug Fixes 250 Halftrack - Heal ability is no longer hidden under the Smoke Dischargers ability. Axis Loiters now have their health at their correct value of 1800 instead of 280. Axis Tigers Veterancy requirements now require 25% more XP to level (from 2200/6600/13200 -> 2750/8250/16500). Fixed an issue where "Framerate Limit" was locked to 30 FPS on machines where lower CPU specifications or hardware were detected Dingo can now fire on the move. Fixed British Supply Surplus Cache and Infirmary upgrades being able to be built on top of existing Supply Caches. Fixed an issue where the StuG D's veterancy requirement was not set properly to 1000/3000/6000. Fixed M29 Weasel's Signal Layer ability not giving bonus resources. Using Focused Gunnery with the Vickers HMG no longer prevents group / band-box selection.

MaJ v1.3.0.18567 (Umber Wasp) - 2023/10/04 mercredi Taille : 867Mo The Umber Wasp update (1.3.0) is focused on continued gameplay improvements and polish to pathfinding, and pings. This update also brings several quality-of-life improvements, such as a smaller icon size on the tactical map and a better flow for end-game stats. The balance changes will impact all factions, with some focus on the Deutsche Afrikakorps. Additionally, this update delivers a Newsfeed for players to access patch notes and news directly from the game’s main menu. We are also introducing one new 4v4 map with Sousse Wetlands and a reworked 1v1 map of Pachino Stalemate. Be sure to review all of the changes and fixes below or check out the Mission Briefing for an overview. NEW CONTENT, FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS New Map Sousse Wetlands – 4v4 Added 4v4 Sousse Wetlands map to Automatch, Co-op vs A.I., Skirmish and Custom game modes. Sousse Wetlands is a vast Tunisian map with three distinct locations: The ancient walled city to the North Featuring exciting urban combat and flanking routes galore The wetlands and causeway Featuring masses of foliage and water where combat is long-ranged, and maneuverability is key The desert village to the South Where cover can rapidly deteriorate, and defenders can easily be outflanked Reworked Map Pachino Stalemate – 1v1 Reworked 1v1 Pachino Stalemate map. This map is available in Automatch, Co-op vs A.I., Skirmish and Custom game modes. A redesign of the existing 1vs1 map for all game modes, including: Considerable changes to territory and accessibility Large rock formations have been removed map-wide enabling better mid to late game pathfinding (which should open the map up as larger vehicles hit the field) Updated cover around central resource points Updated map textures to improve visibility around key areas Updated atmosphere Match stats Quitting a match will no longer exit the Match Stats screen. If a player gets disconnected from a match, they will now still be able to view the match stats. GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS AND BALANCE Pathfinding Adjusted vehicle pathfinding to take more direct paths to the requested location. Infantry will now do less pathing adjustments when friendly soldiers are in the way. Infantry will no longer prefer to take paths with denser cover distribution, which has often led to unpredictable behaviours. Infantry will now be able to path through allied infantry and team weapons. When traversing through blocking vehicles, infantry will now think they can path through, but will be physically stopped until the vehicles move out of the way for more predictable behavior. Retreating infantry will no longer get stuck in place when pathing into vehicles, squads, and team weapons. Team weapons (whether abandoned, set-up, or idle) will no longer be able to block chokepoints for allied units. The space under team weapons is now considered a pathing space. Units executing attack orders will more consistently approach their target in a straight line. Vehicles doing a Move order at longer distance will now follow a straight path opposed to following a path that is aligned with their orientation. Vehicles will no longer be allowed to stop while phasing. Pings On map communication pings will now feature a new visual effect, that includes a uniquely colored tear drop effect lasting for 10 seconds. New features for ping visibility A colored light beam will appear on pings to improve visibility at distance and when used next to tall assets like high vegetation, trees and buildings. Previous pings will be removed when a new ping of the same type is issued. Each ping type will have a unique cursor when selected. New animation effects on both minimap and tactical map have been added to drastically improve ping readability. Ping cooldown Introduced a cooldown period during ich a player can no longer issue pings, which is activated when a given player issues multiple pings in rapid succession. When on cooldown, trying to use pings again will display a message in the chat visible to the player. Continuously using pings when on cooldown will further increase the cooldown itself. Map Updates HQ Sector bunker positioning has been adjusted across various maps to prevent bunkers from unintentionally covering resource points, whilst also reducing the number of blind spots that might be exploited by the enemy player. Many heavy-crush rock piles have been removed across Africa maps, including but not limited to Road to Tunis - 1v1 and Gazala Landing Ground - 3v3 Heavy-crush rock piles have been replaced in many cases by Sangars, which still provide heavy cover, but are less resilient to damage and are medium-crush Taranto Coastline 1v1 Rebalancing of buildings near Victory Points. Removal of several large rock outcrops to enable late-game crush to open the map. Territory layout adjusted to be more appropriate for competitive gameplay. Twin Beaches 1v1 Added an infantry-only “gitty” between Mount Bacon and the Northern beach Adjusted the placement and number of rocks and tank traps on the Southern beach, to better improve vehicle flow and pathfinding Minor adjustments to cover around Mount Bacon Terrain adjusted to rebalance height gameplay around Mount Bacon Campbell’s Convoy – 2v2 Readjusted cover placement along the central resource points, particularly around the most contested resources. Catania Crossing 3v3 Returned the baby truck to its home, where it belongs. Updated the two rail bridges to one double length bridge, reducing the number of bridges to destroy/repair in this area of the map from 4 to 2. Mignano Summit – 3v3 Updated territory layout, reducing the number of high resource points and spreading their value more evenly across the map. This should reduce the chances of games ending too soon from dominating the central areas of the map. Monte Cavo – 4v4 Updated camera mesh to make it adhere closer to the terrain, which will prevent the camera from elevating too high near rocky outcrops. Updated atmosphere to transition into Dawn after around 30 minutes of gameplay. Winter Line – 4v4 Updated cover placement around the central bunker complex. Replaced a number of trenches with sangars, improving the pathfinding of tanks in these areas. Tactical Map Scaled down unit decorators, they now act as position icon. Removed the Unit position icon (circle). New Cosmetics Eight new cosmetics will be released in October, with four releasing in each of the first two weeks. British Forces Mud Brown Foot Guards Mud Brown Matilda II US Forces Sea Blue M18 Hellcat Sea Blue Sniper Wehrmacht Dark Brown Brummbar Dark Brown Nebelwerfer Afrikakorps Basalt Grey Stug III D Basalt Grey Anti-Tank Gun Team GENERAL BALANCE CHANGES Accuracy Changes We have standardized accuracy across the board for the various tank guns. We have noted that our tank guns were too accurate at maximum range. This resulted in situations where vehicles chasing at maximum range would often land their shots while on the move, more than intended, especially after the fix to projectiles that made it easier for scatter hits to avoid low obstacles. 76mm halftrack and 221 Panzerbüchse accuracy set 0.1/0.055/0.045 Anti-armor vehicle accuracy set to 1/0.05/0.04 Crusader II and III accuracy set to 0.1/0.05/0.04 General medium, heavy and light tank accuracy set to 0.075/0.0475/0.035 Hellcat, Marder III and variants accuracy set to 0.1/0.055/0.4 Sherman 76mm accuracy set to 0.1/0.05/0.04 Anti-Air We have made significant changes to the balance of anti-air and airstrike abilities. In general, anti-air units will be significantly more effective at stopping airstrikes within their vicinity. Furthermore, anti-air can now engage planes beyond the protected border regions of the map, giving anti-air more time to respond. Most mobile anti-air units have been standardized to output similar damage to aircraft. The following units have been changed: CWT 15CMP AA Truck Crusader AA M16 Quad Halftrack Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind Flak 30 20mm AA Gun Team Flakvierling Halftrack Airstrike Abilities have also been separated into general classes of durability. The list below goes from least durable to most durable: Strafing Runs (P-47 Strafing Run from the ASC, Luftwaffe Strafing Run) Close-in/Dive Bombs (P-47 Dive Bomb from the ASC, Fragmentation Bombs) Loiter (Hawker Typhoon Anti-tank loiter) Reconnaissance versions of Strafing, Dive Bombs, and Loiters (Recon Artillery, P-47 Reconnaissance Loiter) Heavy Bomber Runs (Carpet Bombing Run, Breakthrough Incendiary Bombing Run) A single anti-air unit will be able to deny nearby Strafes, but multiple anti-air units are required to deny higher durability abilities. Two AA units will generally be able to lock down an area, while three will deny all but the Heavy Bomber Runs, which are designed to be largely unaffected by AA. Keep in mind this will have minor differences by map, direction of the airstrike, and when the anti-air unit faces its target. These relationships only matter when the anti-air is covering a specific area. While anti-air can cover a significant area, they have been tuned that additional anti-air units are required to cover the larger 4 vs 4 maps. This is something we’ll keep an eye on and rebalance in the future as necessary, but the intended goal is that airstrikes should be counterable even in smaller game modes such as 1 vs 1, but not to the point they become irrelevant in larger game modes where players can more easily specialize into airstrikes or anti-air. Notes: Loiters are currently bugged, and are able to be shot down easier than intened. We hope to address this in a future patch. Mortars Wehrmacht, Deutsche Afrikakorps, British Forces Light Mortars HE Barrage cooldown reduced from 0.75 to 0 HE Barrage reload rate standardized to US Forces mortar Veterancy Adjustments Anti-tank Gun veterancy requirements reduced from 1300/3900/7800 to 1000/3000/6000 Panzerpioneer and Royal Engineers veterancy requirements reduced from 800/2400/4800 to 700/2100/4200 Walking Stuka Half-track and Sherman Whizbang veterancy requirements reduced from 1950/5850/11700 to 1500/4500/900 Sniper Units Camouflage when leaving cover increased from 1 to 4 seconds. Sight range increased from 35 to 40. FACTIONS & ABILITY BALANCE CHANGES US FORCES USF continues to perform well, however, we have noted a number of overperforming units and abilities that made it difficult for the opposing player to counter or deal with.

Sherman canister area of effect model limit increases from 3 to 5. US Airborne M1919A6s upgrade time reduced from 50 to 30 seconds. WEHRMACHT While a potent faction, a number of the Wehrmacht units were underperforming when they should be key components of their respective tier’s arsenal. We have made a number of changes to address units like the Wirbelwind’s cost and the Stummel’s performance. Furthermore, the Armored Skirts upgrade has been reworked to offer a potent power spike for all the Wehrmacht’s core medium armored vehicles in the late-game. 20mm Flak 30 AA Gun Team Build time reduced from 45 to 40. Crew health increased from 80 to 90.

The affected unit will also be revealed, even in the fog of war for the entire duration. Stosstruppen White Phosphorous Grenades now properly deal damage over time. BRITISH FORCES We have given the British forces a small number of adjustments to address a number of concerns.

These issues include a lack of ready access to infantry-based anti-tank units when going for the Mechanized Kompanie and the early weakness of their Panzergrenadiers when outside Combined Arms range. We still want DAK to be a vehicle-based faction that needs to leverage its vehicles to gain an advantage and have made improvements to early units like the 250 Halftrack to further emphasize to encourage vehicle play. 250 Halftrack Manpower cost reduced from 260 to 250. Front armor increased from 6 to 7. Veterancy Requirements reduced from 1200/3600/7200 to 600/1800/3600. Advanced Optics New upgrade added to the Armory. Requires Panzerarmee Command.

Secure Location Now grants a +20% decapture bonus in addition to its capture bonus. StuG III D Veterancy Requirement reduced from 1500/4500/9000 to 1000/3000/6000. Firing Positions range bonus increased from +15 to +20 range. Notes: Currently our Veterancy is 1000/2000/6000. This will be set to the intended values in our next patch. Italian Infantry Booby Traps Command Point requirement from 2 to 1. Booby Trap cost reduced from 55 to 45 munitions. Traps that detonate on a Victory or Territory point will increase the time it takes to capture the given point by +100% for 20 seconds. Cannone da 105/28 Command Point requirement from 4 to 3. Designate Defensive Line Renamed to Sound the Alarm. Munition cost reduced from 60 to 40. Now also makes squads 20% harder to hit when active in addition to other bonuses. Now plays an alarm effect on activation. Guastatori Armor increased from 1.25 to 1.5 L6/40 Cost increased from 450 manpower and 30 fuel to 475 manpower and 35 fuel. Emergency Speed now replaces Italian Brotherhood: Increases speed by +50%, and has +25% acceleration while making the unit 25% harder to hit. Disables weapons while active. Health increased from 240 to 280. Now has medium crush. Penetration increased from 16/14/13 to 45/25/15. Propaganda War Now has a delay before the ability activates. Now fires 10 shells over a large area that cause suppression damage. Targets that are pinned will retreat if they are in the blast radius of propaganda shells. No longer causes units to immediately retreat if they are not pinned. We have also made some significant changes to the Italian Infantry tree, increasing its viability. Before After BUGFIXES Art/Animation Changed the way weapon swap animations are played so they are now layered as upper-body animation. Mechanically that means that when a unit upgrades to a new weapon (such as the BAR) or when a unit changes weapons (such as mine sweeper for engineers), they no longer stop in their tracks and get separated from the rest of the squad. Fixed a T Pose when units embark into the Deutsche Afrikakorps 205 Light Carrier. Fixed hit reaction animations when infantry is dropped to prone from explosions (grenades, mortar, etc.). These animations should now quickly end when the squad is issued a command, instead of keeping the unit locked down for the full length of the animation (It was never the intention for hit reaction animations to lock down units in place). Fixed a problem where squads would lose the player's requested unload destination if the player issued a second order while the squad was in the process of unloading. The vehicle will now properly acknowledge the new destination and navigate accordingly. Soldiers will now also respond to the unload more quickly and will exit the hold more seamlessly. Modified the Weapon Swap to use an upper body animation layer. This should should mean kneeling units to no longer stand up when ordered to change weapons or tools. Removed most pivots from infantry to increase infantry responsiveness. There should be no more popping before and after throwing a grenade. Entities should now be using the aim animation while rotating to the ability location. Adjusted the behaviour of infantry entering cover while engaged in combat. Infantry will now avoid sliding into cover (and instead opt to stay standing and shooting) if they are in the middle of aiming. However, the unit will still do the slide into cover animation if they aren't aiming - which might happen depending on a number of factors, such as the weapon type, range, wind down period etc. Gameplay Anti-Air units can now target airplanes outside the playable area. Artillery should now fire with a 20 second cooldown that is surfaced through a decorator It should respect having vision on the enemy unit. Breach now forces retreat of garrisoned units. Burst weapons will no longer keep firing if the target ducks behind a shot blocker. Clarified the meaning of “resource lost” stats with tool tips. This means the resource value of units lost in combat. Fallschirmpioneers now have access to wire cutters from the start of the game. Fixed damage over time damage not awarding veterancy and kills to the damage originator. Fixed HMG redeploying when switching targets in arc. Fixed a bug where the Panzerjaeger squad was unable to fire Anti-Tank Tear Gas round if the remaining squad members didn't have Panzerbuchse 39 equipped. Fixed a bug where it was possible for a unit who was repeatedly given the Stop command to completely lose the ability to attack. This was unintentional, and now units told to stop while they're already stopped will no longer cause them to stop attacking. This bug affected infantry, vehicles and structures alike (defensive positions, etc.). Fixed a missing UI text string on the Salvage Crew ability for the M3 Armored Personnel Carrier when used on friendly or hostile units . Fixed a tool-tip issue with the Bishop's direct-fire ability. Fixed an issue where certain call-in units could not be deployed due to incorrect population requirements. Fixed an issue where certain units could double shot projectiles.

MaJ v1.1.6.1 - 2023/09/05 mardi This update brings the Console Edition of Company of Heroes 3 in line with the 1.1.6 PC update with the exception of the in-game store, Challenges and Merit, which will not be coming to console. We are hoping to bring cosmetics to console in a different fashion at some point in the future. We have also made several console specific changes in this update outlined below. Additionally, we are introducing a new map, gameplay and balance changes, and plenty of bug fixes. NEW CONTENT Catania Crossing – 3 vs 3 Map Adding a new 3 vs 3 bridge map released exclusively for Skirmish, Custom Games and Co-Op vs AI modes. A return to classic CoH bridge maps, based on the Allied Landings in Sicily. Features dense urban combat around critical bridge crossings, perfect for those who wish to hunker down and outlast their enemy. CONSOLE CHANGES Dynamic Resolution Dynamic resolution will now allow the PS5 and Xbox Series X to track closer to their target settings. Performance will target 60 FPS and scale resolution to achieve it. Resolution will attempt to retain 4k at 30 FPS. There is no change to the Xbox Series S implementation. Tutorial We adjusted the controller tutorial for changes in steps and updates from PC. Added the ability to load Keyboard + Mouse tutorial on console. This will depend on the input method when loading into the tutorial mode. Saves will retain the input used and display a warning message if they detect the incorrect input type when loaded. Online Requirement Change: Removed consistent online check. Checks now occur on startup and when entering multiplayer. An online connection is still required for startup. This is to resolve issues of losing connection during gameplay. The game will now display an error message when attempting to access multiplayer while offline Saves can now be completed when a connection drops. GENERAL CHANGES A.I. A.I. respond accordingly to different ping types Attack ping, question ping - may send units to appropriate location pinged Defend ping - may respond with defensive behaviors Capture behavior when pings issued on capture points Audio New voiceover for Gurkha Infantry unit. Audio improvements for the British Forces War Cry ability. All players will now hear a trench whistle followed by a crowd swell indicating the ability has been activated. Camera The camera now allows players to zoom out an additional 5 meters using the RS, increasing the overall zoom level. Event Cues Event Cues are now aligned over top of the minimap. Event Cues priority has been adjusted across the board to prevent less important cues taking over more relevant ones. Event Cues are now limited to how many can display on screen at the same time The background transparency of Event Cues has been reduced to improve readability Italian Dynamic Campaign The A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) will now be performing offensive behaviors more often on difficulties above standard and easy. Expect to see the AI sending companies into player territory, recapturing towns and attacking player companies. We expect a higher rate of defense missions triggered, which will occur when the A.I. attacks player towns where these missions exist. These differ from Skirmish modes, which we hope will add more variety and replayability to the Italian Dynamic Campaign. Expect more combat at towns/cities like Potenza, Foggia, Ortona, and Anzio. It is expected to see more aggressive behaviors from the A.I. while playing on greater difficulty levels. AI now uses Recon Runs less often, and on a wider variety of targets. Campaign Map Population Capacity adjusted so more supporting units can be built in the early campaign. P47 Population Capacity cost reduced from 3 to 2 B25 Population Capacity cost reduced from 4 to 3 Aircraft Carrier Population Capacity cost reduced from 6 to 4. Maps Gazala Landing Ground Minor adjustments to Strategic and Victory Point locations to ensure the Western points favor the Southern team and Eastern points favor the Northern team. Mignano Gap Improved the southernmost engagement area (the bottom of the valley) to be approachable from more angles Removed cover from Greek staircases to prevent unintended balance issues. Territory layout adjusted to ensure a fair dispersal of munitions resources near each Team's HQ areas. Multiplayer Disabled battlegroup selection during match start countdown. This change helps prevent players from having non-functioning battlegroups when loading into a match. Enemy A.I. in Skirmish mode is now less likely to try to capture the same point with several units and more likely to try to capture separate points with individual units. Player Names A toggle for player names has been added to the game settings both while in a match and in the main menu ON: Player names will be permanently displayed under the unit decorator. OFF: Player names will not display under the unit decorator permanently, but players will still be able to toggle them temporarily using their assigned hotkey. (Hotkey is only available with Keyboard + Mouse input) Player names will be displayed on unit information cards. Player names will be using player’s selected color scheme in the UI (compatible with both team and unique colors). This will apply to names displayed in the RTS layer, on the unit card and in the player list. Player List Added a tooltip when on Battlegroups in the Player List, containing the Battlegroup name and a brief description. All Battlegroups from each player’s loadout will now be visible in the player list: it will no longer be possible to check which Battlegroups other players have picked. Player names will respect the color scheme chosen by the player in the Gameplay settings: when Team Colors are enabled, the player will be assigned the blue color, allies the yellow color and opponents the red color. When enabling Unique Colors, the player’s team will be assigned the cold color palette, and the opposing team will be assigned the warm colors palette. Team 1 and 2 background colors standardized to blue for player team and red for opponents’ team. Unique team / Player Colors Team and Unique colors now apply to player names. Team and Unique colors now apply to units' health bars on the unit cards. Territory point flag and capture UI now uses team colors rather than unique colors.

Airplanes speed increase while loitering from 36 m/s to 72 m/s. Airplanes turn angles are increased from 25 degrees to 60 degrees. Adjusted Airplane crashes to create deformation and include a new effect. Adjusted Airplane crashes to damage environmental objects. Adjusted Airplane debris to last longer. Adjusted Airplanes doing dives to only drop the projectile when at a distance from the target as opposed to only when on top of the target. Adjusted Airplane abilities flares to match the center of the ability reticule. Adjusted Airplane abilities reticule colors to match the proper intention of the ability (green for utility, red for damage) Airplanes performing paradrop abilities are now invincible. Airplanes performing Mark Target abilities now show a proper indicator on the target. Airplane Weapon & Projectile Changes Adjusted projectile speeds overall to be 2x to 3x times faster. Adjusted bombs to have a 1.5x damage modifier against buildings and emplacements. Adjusted deformation to better match the area of effect of some of the explosions. Adjusted strafing runs to have an area of effect of 45m length. Adjusted strafing runs to cover the area within 1s as opposed to 3s. Loiters Loiters no longer acquire new targets in base sectors. Loiters now display a ground indicator that reflects the target acquisition area. Loiters now display an indicator on top of the unit they are targeting. Loiters now properly display the time left for the ability to end. Loiters now take longer in between passes.

Fixed an issue with burst weapons that allowed to continuously fire outside of range. However, if the burst fire started in range, the unit will keep firing until the initial burst is over but will not initiate another one if the target is outside of range. This affects any unit with burst fire such as: Heavy Machine Guns ¼ -Ton 4x4 Truck 250 Light Carrier Halftrack M29 Weasel Flak Half-Track Several Infantry Weapons Modified the German MG42 Machine Gun Team White Phosphorous ability to have a mandatory reload animation when activated and at the end of its timer. Fixed a glitch that caused Team Weapon's Reload ability to not animate when used back to back. Modified the generic Team Weapon's reload ability to also force a reload animation, meaning that it will now interrupt a firing sequence, rather than simply queue the reload instruction.
