Update #44

- Added : Tutorial !
- Added : Winter version of marshes + fields tiles.
- Added : Drop tanks, rockets, bombs, torpedoes, bombs for armament customization when buying a plane. All of the options are not available for all planes, only for the ones that had them in real life. All options will change the plane's stats.
- Added : Hourglass now SPINNIN' HEHEHEHE.
- Added : All button's shortcuts are now visible with tooltips ON.
- Added : Next unit and Previous units buttons now have keyboard shortcuts as well, left and right arrow respectively, just turn on the tooltips its written anyway.

- Change : All buttons that you cannot use will be disabled / greyed out, so no more confusion.
- Change : Units will not be resupplied automatically when being carried over from one scenario to the other : Ex : Before, when finishing a campaign scenario, your unit would go back full health and full ammunition upon arrival at the destination of the second scenario, Not the case anymore. Gotta resupply them.
- Change : Reinstated the damage based on the HP %. Ex : You have 50% HP, you deal 50% Damage.
- Change : Store will close automatically when you bought the units you wanted to buy.
- Change : In the main menu when choosing "Quick game", all player slots will now be set to AI, I guess it makes more sense to change only 1 slot to play for yourself as human than changing like 9 slots to AI because you play alone.
- Change : Disposition of the main menu, everything is on the side and a bit smaller.
- Change : Planes with torpedoes will now deal a clean 30 damage on boats regardless of their armour value.
- Change : Planes deal only 50% of their hard damage value on boats

- Fix : Bunkers were rotating when attacked.
- Fix : German U-Boot damage value was 85 instead of 60.
- Fix : Bunker stats were not updated after I made changes on various maps.
- Fix : Performance issue with the target list of the AI not being reinitialized and causing problems with bunkers, they would not fire, or firing even 20 tiles away.
- Fix : AI units actually had the old price and did not get the update lol. They use a different function and I forgot to add the update line there.
- Fix : Music not playing in the game.
- Fix : AI only buying mechanized inf + elite units.
- Fix : Some colours on some buttons were not the one I chose.
- Fix : In the map editor, the default value for "Allow snow in winter" was false, causing rain in winter maps.
- Fix : Plane kill stats not being refreshed.
- Fix : In the map editor, when setting a unit as defensive, the popup was still using the old UI.
- Fix : For windows user, the quicksave by pressing F5 now WORKS ! HURRAY !
- Fix : Resupply buttons were all greyed out after turn 1.

And I guess that's it ! I think I'll be done now for a while to add new features, I'll focus on adding content (Redoing the campaigns, but less scenarios, on bigger scale).

HMU if you got ANY question. Also planning to add a shit ton of planes for GB.
