Update 1.2.0

[h2]Dear Mechanics,[/h2]

here it is we have released today long awaited patch, version 1.2.0.

We were focusing last time to get patch 1.2.0 to be ready to be published on the default branch. Last week we pushed it live to be available on an unstable branch to see how things work for you. New update brings some new features like a Tank Warehouse room, new Tank damage system for example for extracted tanks on missions. New stands in museums and also very important to mention we merged three tank prefabs into one. It was crucial before going into implementing new tanks.

As we are here with new vehicles - we are going to focus fully on new tanks after release of 1.2.0 patch. Our initial plan was to deliver new tanks with this patch, but it was too big task to make at once, especially with changes made to the whole tank configuration system. We are very sorry for this delay.

Last patch was sent in June 2020, from now on, new stuff, that requires long development will be completed separately, independent from main branch of the project, so few developers can focus only on bigger stuff, and other developers keep a good pace with hot fixes/suggestions patches each few weeks.

For full list with changes please find attached change log below:
