1. Mortar Troops
- 2 man mortar squad with 20 mines
- costs 8 points per squad
- can be deployed anywhere on the map
- has firing range of 300 - 3000 meters, radio contact range of 5000 meters
- has proper mine travel time - do not expect mines to be fast
- receives targetting from any recon helicopter with "Mortar Observer"
- one recon helicopter can control up to 6 mortar teams at once
2. AA changes
- all AA now significantly more accurate
- it tries to predict your flying pattern
- the more you are in its sights - the more accurate it becomes, it takes ~20 seconds to reach maximum accuracy
- spotting formula introduced: the smaller your helicopter is and the lower you fly - the harder it is for AA to spot you
- with the new spotting formula you can sneak around AA positions on lower altitudes, but if you are flying high - it will spot you much earlier
- it has morale now - shooting at AA now makes it shoot less accurate and less frequently
3. Special soldiers
- now you can direct your special soldiers upon landing, just point where you want them to run, before deploying them
- directed deployment radius is 50 meters
- MANPAD's behaviour changed: from now they will include spottinng formula in target search, they wont shoot at you on sight, but wait small amount of time till you move closer to them
- MANPAD missile speed increased
- MANPAD targetting range increased by 100 meters
- you can see your soldiers positions on minimap from now on (look for small orange dots)
4. Enemy spotting
- from now on helicopters of different classes will spot enemies on different distances: recon helicopters can spot enemies from further away then attack helicopters and transport helicopters
- to spot vehicles or AA positions you need line of sight now
- recon helicopters are able to share spotted targets with their team using radio spotted message - binded to 'V' by default
5. Radio messages
- added 7 basic radio messages
- you can send them via F2-F8 shortcuts
- or via '`' menu and 1-7 afterwards
6. Spectator mode
- you can choose to spectate your teammates when you lost or changing your helicopter
7. Other changes
- decreased price of first Ka-52 variant and increased price of second and third variant
