(14) Stealth-ed infantries: Now Tanya (when not firing) and Snipers (when still and/ or deployed) are stealth-ed, providing them an edge against enemy long range attackers

(15) Kill driver function for snipers of all three sides: When vehicles of different armor level falls to a certain percentage of health points, (the more heavily armored, the lower the health point level needed for the enemy sniper to perform a kill-driver attack)
Enemy Snipers can attempt to shoot the driver and make the vehicle neutral.

(16) Driver function for G.I.s, Conscripts and Light Infantry (initiated) for all three sides: Now these infantries can capture neutral vehicles by entering and commandeering them. (Can be used in conjunction with the kill driver sniper functions)
