Recent updates / today

Hello there

you probably noticed the important number of updates today without any change log

No big deal, I never planned to patch the game that many times, I kept forgetting stuff and discovering more that should have been fixed or things that could be done and shouldnt.

Anyway, just a bunch of various fixes for stuff that should have been already :)

Have a good evening !

5.3.2

- Added : Fairey Albacore to GB.
- Added : BV 138B, Hs 123, Do 215, Do 217, He 115 to Germany.
- Added : Do 17, Ju 88, Fokker C.X, Bristol Blenheim Mk. IV, BT-42, BT-7, T-26, FIAT G.50 Freccia, Westland Lysander Mk. I, Brewster B-239, Curtiss H 75 A, Renault FT 17 8 mm, Vickers 6 ton Mark E to Finland.
- Added : You can now UNfield units ! You can do so from the order of battle. There will be a little bin button. Click on it and you will be issued a refund of unit’s cost, and it will be removed from the board. It will be sent back to your reserve. From there, you can choose to deploy it somewhere else, or to delete it completely.
- Added : Sea Hurricane Mk. I, Mk. II B and C, Blenheim Mk. I, Avro Manchester, Fairey Battle Mk. I, Fairey Fulmar Mk. I and II, Supermarine Seafire Mk. I, II, II, XV, XVII, Vickers Wellington Mk. I and Mk. II, Mosquito FB Mk. VI to GB.

- Change : All Bf-110 have been moved to the tactical bomber category. Same for the Me 410 and 210.
- Change : At turn = 0, so when starting a scenario, all units will get a level 3 of entrenchment.
- Change : When deleting a unit to get a refund, you will get a refund scaled on the unit’s HP. Basically, if your unit is at 5HP, if you unfield it, and if you ask for a refund, instead of getting a full refund which could be used as an exploit, you will only get as much as the unit has HP. So, if the unit has 15% HP, you will get 15% of the unit’s worth.
- Change : Numerous changes to various units stats.
- Change : Hawker Hurricane Mk. IV and IID have been moved to the ground attack planes category.
- Change : SIG 33 15cm graphics.
