Update 1.0.97 September 15 (Steam date)

Despite being an update about fixing things, most fixes required significant rewrites, so expect hotfixes.

- Added new main menu music theme
- Added Czech localization
- Added proposed fixes to Italian localization

- Replaced BTR-70 with BTR-60 in 120th Guards MRR for authenticity
- US TFs almost completely lacked M2A2 as an option: adjusted 2 TFs to include them instead of redundant options
- Added a separate icon and decal for the Belgian 4th Pantser Infantry Brigade
- Engineering tanks received a minor buff so that a platoon of 3 tanks is equivalent in breaching ability to a platoon of 4 assault engineer squads. M728 CEV and AVRE also made a bit cheaper.

- Platoon panel now has a small red blinking dot near icons of the platoons that are in combat
- You can now see which targets platoons are engaging when holding SHIFT
- Bomb and PGM strikes should now actually ignore helicopters as valid targets
- Fixed instances where AI Artillery won't displace after salvo
- Fixed AI Artillery idling when there are no same-AI groups to support
- Added basic fixes against AI overcrowding in spawn areas
- Adjusted Operation "TF McMains" starting resources to be less stingy

- Fixed (hopefully for certain this time) cases where a platoon will move through impassable terrain (typically, lake)
- Fixed US M577 deploying smoke despite not having smoke launchers
- Fixed small arms fire causing dirt splashes in the air when targeting helicopters
- Fixed minor bugs with suppression calculation
- Fixed unit movement audio not playing after spawn
- Fixed minor waypoint drawing issues
- Fixed AI SAM platoons not reacting to threats when following a combat group
- Fixed TacAid voice reports depending on the presence of targets in the attack zone
- Fixed platoons with lost vehicles endlessly consuming supplies
- Fixed multiple issues with pooling logic, which should slightly improve performance toward the end of long sessions

- Platoon attack logic had a rewrite, though public-facing behavior should remain largely the same

1.0.98

- Added a new DDR Task Force "Kerze" with a company of BMP-1s: it bumps East German KdA Regiment to the correct amount of TFs and also replaces one of the overused Task Forces in MSR 9
- Added US M113-TOW Self-Propelled ATGM (currently uses Canadian extra equipment, will be adjusted later)
- Added AIFV-Milan (it was in Regipedia, but wasn't present anywhere). According to the research, it seems to have been used in a light tank-destroyer role, so that's the way it is represented
- AIFV-Milan replaced platoons in TFs "Leer" and "Pistool"
- Revised US 4-4th ID: removed M577 & Rally TA, downgraded ITV to M113-TOW, M3A2 to M3 - this brings it more in line with the amount of deployment points and capabilities other Regiments can deploy at the start
- Revised Belgian 17th Panzer: removed Recce+Milan platoon on Spartan. Same reasoning as above
- Standartized the naming of platoons with dedicated MANPADS
- West German taskforces "Antwort" and "Sonne" received a new TacAid - an F-4 airstrike with 4xCluster bombs
- FV102 set to use Thermals (which should've arrived by 1989), FV438 downgraded to Basic night vision

- Heavy machine guns (12.7mm and above) received increased damage and range, medium machine guns (7.62mm) received 1 AP; low-AP penetration tables were revised so that lightly armored units don't take an eternity to destroy with machinegun fire
- Assault engineer squads were reduced to 6 soldiers per squad and standartized to use "worse" LAWs where applicable, so they aren't a solution to every problem
- LAW stats were revised to be slightly more in-line with reality: generally minor, with the exception of Carl Gustav going from 22 to 19 AP
- Slightly buffed cluster bomb damage; reduced 2xBomb TA price to 30 pts

- US HMMWV and M109A3 models now feature randomized clutter
- West German vehicle models received authentic decals with the identification plates and weight class indicators. It is an exploratory feature to check the workflow - there's no certainty if all nations will receive something like that
- Fixed inconsistencies with AIFV-B series scale
- Regipedia unit list made more readable
- Post-battle screen will now display map or stage name. In Skirmish, it will also display the player's Regiment name
- Company label now lists the total amount of soldiers in company, not just the leader platoon (status panel can still be used to check per-platoon counts)

- Last stage of the first Operation can now end early properly if you capture all the VP objectives
- Fixed a bug that limited the rate of fire in big platoons
- Fixed a bug that prevented mechanized infantry platoons from closing to LAW range under Attack or Attack Move command
- Fixed AI not dismounting MANPADS platoons until very close to target
- Minor tweaks to the projectile hit effects
- Fixed cases where AI wasn't using some specific Air and Artillery Strike TacAids
- Credits button has been moved to the left bottom corner of the menu
