Here just a few highlights from the latest release:
* Top gunner in a Humvee can use a personal weapon if his vehicle-mounted weapon is out of action.
* Powerful projectiles like sabot can penetrate trees and be slightly deflected rather than stopped.
* Roads are smoother when traversing rough ground or steep slopes.
* Large rocks (flavor objects) are more of a deterrent to navigate over.
* Updated behavior for artillery/air support time-to-target. Conventional Red formation leaders are now allowed to call in artillery from batteries at battalion level or below (e.g. light mortars).
* Troops may be given simultaneous Hide and Face commands, but changing facing often requires a soldier to change position slightly, during which time he will not be "hiding".
* "Scenario Author Test" may be selected as a Skill Mode (1-player only). It will cause all enemy units to be fully displayed to the player, but not additionally "known" to player's troops.
* Small bullets kick up a tiny bit of dirt and dust when they hit ground.
*
Marines Module Only
* US Marines sometimes have M203 grenade launchers instead of M32, especially at lower Equipment Quality settings.
* Added US Marine Mk11 sniper rifle (equivalent to Army M110).
*
British Module Only
* Jackal GMG (aka grenade launcher) can now be found in the Fire Support Section of the British Infantry Rifle Company, when the equipment rating is good (otherwise they get a WMIK).
* Gunner in LMTV will use his personal night-vision gear when appropriate.
* LMTV carries more passenger weapons and ammunition.
