• Overhauled some vanilla squads to be more unique and effective

• Supply functions have been overhauled and expanded upon to create a new logistics system, which is necessary for the longer battles this mod allows. This encourages the player to set up a logistics base in a secure area and maintain a supply route to the front lines
• Supply trucks will spawn with crates inside them, which can be distributed among the front lines, and refilled at the supply cache

• Lootable ammo now spawns inside of supply vehicles & trailers, as well as crates found around the map
• Small arms ammo crates on ammo bearer units have lootable ammo, making it easier to scavenge ammo for captured weapons

• All tanks can now be towed by vehicles with the heaviest towing capacity. This allows friendly tanks to be quickly towed to safety for repair, even if the tracks are broken. You can also capture enemy tanks this way
• Vehicle towing has been reworked so that towing capacity is more realistic

• Medic revive time has been greatly increased, meaning reviving on the front lines is not always a viable option
• Wounded soldiers should be picked up and carried to safety before reviving
• Stretchers have been added to transport wounded much quicker
• Wounded can be easily placed in vehicles for transport

• Small emplacements like MGs and mortars can be placed picked up and placed inside of vehicles for transport

• MG Tripods can be disassembled and transported in inventory, then reassembled

• Added more fortifications from vanilla entities
• Added fortifications without weapons from Fixed Emplacement mod by L.F CPU_recruit[steamcommunity.com]
• Sandbags, barbed wire, and hedgehogs require kits to deploy
• Added camouflage kits to deploy bushes
  

• Unit rosters have had their cooldowns and costs rebalanced
• AI Spawn Rosters have had their priority completely redone for a more realistic variety, loosely based on real production numbers

Small arms

• Increases accuracy of small arms fire
• Less damage falloff at range

AT Range

• Increase AT range
• Panzerfausts now use their correct range

Howitzers

• USA 75mm howitzer (M1A1, M3A3, and M8 Scott), GER 75mm howitzer vehicles (PzIII Ausf. N, Sdkfz 234/3, Sdkfz 251/9) now has a slight indirect trajectory like the GER LeIG 18 7,5cm Field Gun

Artillery

• Faster fire rate, according to documentation of actual rapid fire rates
• Better zeroing; much more accurate after 3-4 shots

• Reworked Commander versions of tanks that have binoculars and a long narrow vision
• Increases vision range for recon units
• Reduces uncover ability (spotting units in bushes) for most units, especially vehicles, to allow for more effective camouflage
• Removed Fog of War when in Third Person (does not effect minimap) – Thanks to Kindly Jin for providing these files!

Several vanilla maps from Campaign, Skirmish, and Conquest have been converted to Battle Zones

• Battle Zones matches will never end, so you can play as long as you like.
• Adjust manpower and CP, allowing a larger army to be built up slowly over time.
