09.08.24:
- update new version game - 1.045.0.

03.04.24:
Emperoroffinland: Small fix to the HEAT shells not being affected by angle in terms of penetration and fixing heat so ERA works and tanks dont get oneshot by heat anymore.

21.03.24:
- update new version game 1.039.0.

21.02.24:
small comp update with West81
New update, it brings nice homemade features that will enhance general gameplay :
- New Bot wave system in conquest. The delay between waves is now randomized between two Min and Max thresholds and is linked to attack or defense battles. While attacking, the bot will have denser attack waves. (customizable in bot.data for those interested)
- Added new script to change number of units per wave in attack or defense battles. While attacking, the bot will have more units per waves to challenge the player. When the player attacks, the bot will have less troops per wave to reduce spam. (customizable in bot.data for those interested)
- Balance changes to French tanks gun accuracies, they're now on par with West 81 gun laying and targeting aids system (the parameters reflect real life caracteristics of tanks : with or without gun stabiliser, rangefinder/laser rangefinder).

13.02.24:
Balance pass on difficulty on all levels (bot army resources in battle), the late game battles where overkill (2000+ INF ...). This is now fixed. The new difficulty model is close from the West 81 one with some tuning to get some high intensity battles from time to time + revamped stars difficulty (bot gets around 1.5 times its initial strengh when playing 3 stars battles).
- New homemade division system for AI bot opponent in conquest (dropping old CEV2 division system). It's much more lightweight and achieve the same result.
- Defense timers fixed, the bots now spawns units at around 7mn ingame, as it should.
- Balance pass on number of possible bot units in waves (between 7 min to 14 max), will be fine tuned with the players feedbacks

23.01.24:
- Improved AI behaviour in conquest (in testing).
- Toned down difficulty (AI resources in conquest battles) and more research points because of the larger research trees due to units additions.
- Trying to keep up with latest hotmod and west81 updates.
- Total rework and cleanup of the mod. Creating less clashes with west 81 and CEV2 scripts, to ensure max compatibility and prepare future updates.
- New GOTH vanilla sounds for FRA weapons.
- Trying to fix the "AI véhicles turning around aimlessly" bug. It's nearly crushed. A little number of maps seem to produce it. If encounter, please send the map name to me.
- Reworked sound detection as well as visual detection. To limit nonsense behaviour from AI units were they disappear while in your crosshair. Also, it brings the detection values up to par with the added combat range. Tell me what you think!

29.12.23:
- Fix playing against USA as SOV in conquest. You can now create/play conquest against USA
- New soviet tech tree. It is now divided in three main periods: 1945-1960, 1960-1975 and 1975-1990. I advise to play long or unlimited conquest to enjoy it most. Important for now : PLAYING AGAINST THE USA WILL CRASH THE GAME AT BATTLE START. It is possible to play the soviet and face the PRC faction (worked hours on this problem and starting to believe it is somehow linked to CEV2 so wait&see).
- Much units unlocked for soviet (1945 era stuff) in early conquest.
- Many fixes for soviet units.
- Fix for game crash linked to hotmod gunbag script (thanks to sverofaust)
- New Ammo and units from Liberation for early FRA.
- And more.

18.10.23:
-new changes on AI army numbers and waves. Expect bigger battle when facing AI on all economy difficulties.
-rework of AML60 (decoupling gun and mgun, the AML now can use both at the same time).
-various bug fixes
possible fix to soviet battles crash
- New ranks mechanic.
New officers (ltn, cpt, col) and each squad gets sergeants and corporals (ranks displays above heads). If simple privates are isolated (100m+) of officers and non-commisionned officers, they will lose orders and start to fall back to their officers. A radio message/text message as well as an exclamation point on the head of soldiers will show you if they're too far.
the rank mechanic is from Old Boy's Vietnam mod and is replicated in this mod with his nice permission.
