Version v15

- - Airplane armor vulnerability to SMALL_ARMS, GATTLING, and INFANTRY_MISSILE from 120% to 100%.
- - Tanks armor INFANTRY_MISSILE modifier from 100% to 80%. Overlord & Battlefortress are excepted (Tank General ERA upgrade offsets this).
- - MBTs slightly less resistant to FLAME, Scorpions are excepted. Armor upgrades offset this.
- - Composite Armor, Chinese ERA, Aircraft Armor, Helix Armor upgrades reduce specific damage taken from different types rather than flat health bonus.
- - Anti-air vehicles, including the Humvee to less extent, are more prone to JET_MISSILES.
- - Most projectile Special Effects were reverted from PARTICLE to STREAK type ParticleSystems.
- - Each faction can build second artilleries to counterweigh arty range reversion to ZH values:
- - Range min 230 to max 600.

- - Bombers-- Tornado, MiG Bomber, etc-- travel faster after delivery.

You also don't receive a bullet-in notification for researching these upgrades.

- - Tanks armor INFANTRY_MISSILE modifier from 100% to 80%. Overlord & Battlefortress are excepted (Tank General ERA upgrade offsets this).
- - MBTs slightly less resistant to FLAME, Scorpions are excepted. Armor upgrades offset this.

- - Most projectile Special Effects were reverted from PARTICLE to STREAK type ParticleSystems.

- - Bombers-- Tornado, MiG Bomber, etc-- travel faster after delivery.
- - Some factions can research upgrades at different build times & costs. Read Faction Specific Changes for these upgrades. Unfortuanetly due to the engine not accounting for units being constructed in limiting the number, you can research two upgrades simultaneously from different source type unless you already have the upgrade researched. You also don't receive a bullet-in notification for researching these upgrades.
- - Black Napalm & Nuke MiG upgrades no longer rearm units when researched
- - Casemate vehicles & untraversable guns can now deploy to trade mobility for toughness boost. Guns gain 25% RoF & range after the first shot or half the clip is fired.

Cross-faction & cross-unit compatible, a MiG missile or Inferno shell will reduce time required for the Dragon to clear, similarly this missile can be mixed with the shell to clear a garrison slot.
- - buff Toxin Tractor, Dragon Tank, & Camel locomotors
- - suicide damage EXPLOSION to AURORA_BOMB, deals 60% of its original damage (overall 10% more to buildings, defences & slight damage boost vs fireports & heavy vehicles in general but 40% less damage to everything else)
