The new patch adds two new French units and balances several others, including officer aura buffs and some unit requirements.
-Added a new ammunition type: 7.5x54mm French (15 damage)
-Added a new ammuntion type: 8mm Lebel (14 damage)
-Added a new ammunition type: 7.65x20mm Longue (3.5 damage)
-Added the MAS 36 bolt-action rifle (already mentioned). The MAS 36 is based off of the Lee-Enfield and uses it's aestetic; the MAS 36 is slightly less accurate with a slower fire rate, but packs a more powerful punch with its 7.5x54mm French ammunion.
-Added the MAS 38 SMG (already mentioned). Based off of the MP40. Uses the Thompson aestetic. The MAS 38 is inferior to other SMGs but makes up for this by being more previlant on the squads that it equips (4-6 units vs. ~3 for other squads). The MAS 38 holds slightly higher accuracy then other SMGs to account for it's weak-hitting round.
-Added the FM 24/29 LMG. The FM 24/29 is based off of the Bren LMG and trades accuracy, fire rate, and magazine capacity for raw power with it's damage dealing 7.5x54mm French cartridge.
-Added a new Vichy French Rifleman entity (ebps/races/panzer_elite/soldiers/vichy_french_rifleman1 and 2).
-Added a new Vichy French LMG gunner entity (ebps/races/panzer_elite/soldiers/vichy_french_fm_lmg_gunner).
-Added a new Vichy French weapons crew entity (ebps/races/panzer_elite/soldiers/vichy_french_team_weapon_soldier).
-Added a new Char B1 tank entity (ebps/races/panzer_elite/vehicles/vichy_french_char_b1). Based off of the Churchill crocodile; armed with a sponsoon mounted 75mm cannon (p4 IST cannon w. Puma penetration tables and target tables and a turret mounted 47mm cannon (puma 50mm). Has Panther (unskirted) armor. 3.25 speed.
-Added a new Vichy French Fusilier squad. 5 men, 285 Manpower. Will require the Foreign Support unlock from the Kampfgruppe Kompanie as well as the Tank Hunters Strategy Doctrine choice to be selected in order to be built. French Fusilieres cost more the their Italian counterparts and take longer to field, but are better in direct confrontation with the enemy. They are easily suppressed, however.
-Added a new Vichy French Char B1 squad. 410 Manpower, located at the Panzer Support Kommand. Requires the Foreign Support upgrade to be purchased and the Hetzer command tree unlock to be chosen from the Tank Hunters Strategy Doctrine choice to be chosen in order to be built.
-Fixed a UI error with Assault Engineers.
-Riflemen now require the Reinforcement Requisition upgrade (availalbe on the Platoon Leader).
-Platoon Leader aura accuracy buff reduced to 1.05 from 1.1.
-Ranger Captain aura accuracy buff reduced to 1.075 from 1.15.
-Oberfeldwebel aura accuracy buff reduced to 1.06 from 1.15.
-Officer (wm) aura accuracy buff reduced to 1.075 from 1.2.
-Moved the UI position of Rudimentary Repairs because it overlapped with other abilities.
-Lowered the unit cap on the M2 107mm Heavy Mortar to 1 from 2.
-Increased the unit cap on the M2 60mm Mortar to 2 from 1.
-M26 Pershing unit cap increased to 2 from 1.
-All tank cannon's projectiles have been changed from tp_homing to tp_artillery. Ever had a unit scoot behind a house but get hit by an already fired shell anyways? This won't happen ever again; units with projectile weapons now rely on ballistics. This, coupled with tank's reduced moving accuracy, means that tanks' cannons require the unit to be stopped in order for it to reach maximum effectiveness.
