This update will be called the quick2respond update.
Why ? Because a Steam user by the nickname of quick2respond has written the 90th review for the game, and he didn’t write 3 words. For all the kind words and because his idea was good, I thought hey, I could make that guy happy, just like he did to me by writing this review ! So here is the quick2respond update, which adds a single feature, I’m calling “quick2respond setting”.
I decided to name the setting after the guy’s nickname because, well hell I can ! I do what I want :D
This game isn’t MY game, it’s OUR game, so many of you already contributed with your ideas, and your testing, that I feel this is the least I can do !

Anyway, what does this feature do ? First, you can turn it ON in the settings, under MISCELLANEOUS.
What it does is simple, it replaces the name of the units by more generic names. So, it will rename the Tiger I Ausf. E to “Heavy tank battalion”. And so on :)

And then you combined this with the new naming system I recently implemented and you get stuff like : “54th light infantry division” or “5th heavy fighter squadron” or even “32nd armoured heavy artillery”.
All that automatically without you having to rename the stuff yourself, it keeps count of everything, it’s just immersion!

So, yeah, thought it would be cool for him and for probably many of you that wanted more immersion while playing with your NATO counters ! Talking about them … I am planning on making a complete revamp, so, yeah :)

Have fun !
