- Change : Sd Kfz 233, Nashorn, Brummbar, Marder I, Marder II and III sprite.
- Change : No more retaliation when attacking a tank with an anti tank gun. For gameplay purposes, since anti tank guns usually have very low armour, low soft damage, why would you buy a Marder III instead of buying a panzer IV that will deal the same amount of hard damage AND a lot of soft ? Well, because now when the Marder III (or any anti tank unit) will attack another tank, the tank will not retaliate anymore. So I’m just trying to give some use to anti tanks units :) So that people have an army as diverse as possible, and so that all units have a use.
