The latin word Errata is the plural form of the word erratum. Erratum refers to an error and its correction in a published text.
This Thread is supposed to serve as a Development Diary for a "mod" including reported issues regarding several aspects of the game. Currently it's mostly my reports which have been summed up over the time. But there are plenty more, especially by MechFO which I plan to also include.
Main target is to mostly correct issues regarding Squad sizes, TOEs and manpower (so Support squad numbers).
Besides this there will be minor changes here and there to other aspects (e.g. fixing "bugs/mistakes", the whole wasted SdKfz production topic, some Units that are missing, some Device changes ...).
Some part are already included in Teo41_ITA's 1941-45 reworked OOB Mod. So I will focus on other things than him and eventually my data (TOEs, Squads/Ground Elements) will then fully be imported into his mod.
DOWNLOAD (this version contains everything that's listed in Post 2 of this Thread.
Tools/Sheets
- Squad modding: 'Ammo Use' calculation - automated
- Ground Element Type List - organized
- Automated new Support calculation (used for Soviet Rifle Squad 43 and SMG Squads ###issue 3, German Panzer Recon ###issue 4, contains sheet to find all TOEs with specific elements)
- Turn-Dates-Converter
- Weeks in production - calculator
Note: The following List may contain some "ToDos" of Threads which already have been changed by the Devs.
ToDo:
What's listed here are things/changes that will at some point be included, once done the Link/comment will be moved to the "Done" section below.
Bugs and other serious/obvious stuff
- Bad Combat Performance of 'Specialized' Squads (SMG/StG44) - each Squad's weapons need to be split in about 4-5 ranged weapon Devices for Squads to perform approriate to their armament. So 8xStG44 into 4x2Guns, 10SMGs into 2x2+2x3Guns and so on.
- Soviet Rocket Launcher performance before 1944 - independent Soviet Rocket SUs/CUs need some kind of dummy-ammo-bearer element to increase early Ammo-% of said formations.
- DONE [OB:455] Is missing 3x sPzB41 (amount 0 in TOE)
- DONE PTRD TOEs OP in TBs buildable PTRD Squads need to be limited.
- DONE AT-Rifle "Squad" performance - AT-Rifles need some Soft Damage
→ 14.5mm PTRD/Boys: 5 Anti-Soft
→ 7.92mm: 3 Anti-Soft - DONE Dysfunctional Rifle Grenades - 60 HEAT needs to become 60 Anti-Armor
- Dysfunctional 160mm Stielgranate - no idea how to fix it, improve is possible but it seems to still suck (many times worse then what it is supposed to improve '37mm AT Gun').
- DONE Fix Ammo Use for all Squads - set a standard for 'Ammo Use' and apply it to all Squads, so it's explainable how much 'Ammo Use' a newly created Squad will have.
Current state: All Squads 'Ammo Use' values have been streamlined and are using the same 'Ammo Use' as pointed out in this Threads Sheet.
Applied weights:
Used weights are derived from testing current numbers in game with minor adjustments.

- DONE Rifle-Grenade: (HEAT 60→0, Anti-Armor 0→60) This Device is complete trash. It has 24 Soft damage and 60 HEAT pen. The 60HEAT causes the Squad to close to never use it against Infantry.
- Make Support Elements have 2 instead of 1 CV.
→ There is the general idea of re-balancing the whole CV system by using bigger numbers (like... make a 88mm AT gun have more CV than 2guys with one AT-rifle), downside could be to see more often "X" as CV on Counters on Map.
→increase AFV/Tank CV per tank slightly (e.g. currently 9CV → 10 or 11 CV) - Planned to set more substitutions, always the "worse substitutes the better" (the question is if the engine messes things up if one does so...).
E.g. SP Flak having the normal towed Flak as a Substitution, armored Panzergrenadiers been substituted by motorized infantry, half-track-mortars being substituted by standard ground mortars ...and so on, nothing exotic/crazy. - make German Light Divisions/Jäger Divisions Mountaineers (they keep their specific Counter "L"-logo). And make Soviet Mountain Divisions be eligible to become GUARDs again (needs creation of "Guards"-TOEs for them).

I am very impressed with your work. Your attention to detail mirrors my own and is greatly appreciated. I spend more time modding the games and fixing the errata than actually playing the games themselves. I have played many games but none to completion. 
Keep up the good work!
