[RELEASE] v8.4.0 - Squad Merge, Chat Changes, Balance, Oh My!

We're back at it again! This update's a bit of a hodge-podge, but the tl;dr is that we've added a new squad merging functionality, a couple new work-in-progress maps, and made some balance changes, including a change that should make light vehicles much more fragile.

New Stuff

Added DH-WIP_MyshkovaRiver_Advance
Added DH-WIP_Klin1941_Advance
Added a new control for placing a Rally Point (default key is: J)
Added a new splash screen

Squad Merge

Need to consolidate a bunch of itty bitty squads? Well, we're here to help! You can now offer other squad leaders to merge their squads into yours!

As a squad leader, right-click another squad leader on the squad menu and select Request to Merge
The squad leader that sent the merge request will become the new squad leader
