To support all those troops, StuGs, Panzer IIs, all kinds of arties, many different Military police units and leaders can help make the difference.

- The Accuracy at range for all the 20mm automatic weapons has been reduced.

UPDATE FEATURES : The 78. Sturm has finally been reworked and OMG it's an overhaul. The Sturm is dead, Long live the Sturm ! Well, to be fair, it's more of a joke because of the worry I had for it to become too feeble. Worry NOT ! The 78. Sturm is back in a completely new shape, featuring powerful infantry, unique units, the new Begleit-Zug trait, Tigers, lots of Nashorns, Flammen-Pionier and many more. The Sturm is a really Swiss-knife with a variety of tools to make very different and specialized versions of your deck, be it in Tanks, Support, AT, Infantry or Artillery.

* Osnaz : +8 --> +10 Accuracy ; -15% --> -20% Reload time ; +10 --> +10% Spotting ability.

- A new trait has been added to the mod : Begleit-Zug.
This a fairly peculiar trait to represent the Escort squads that the germans organized to support and protect the formations of Sturmgeschutz in combat.
In game it's a unique trait which concerns BOTH german StuG III G (fruh), StuG III G, StuG III G (Komp.Füh) AND Begleit Infantry units. It's displayed only on the Infantry units but works like that in a game :
In an area of 350m around BOTH Begleit Infantry AND StuGs, BOTH type of units will benefit from +40% Stress resilience. The system is set in a way that you'll need to keep your Begleit units and your StuGs close to each other, in order for both to benefit from this bonus.

- The effectiveness against planes for the 72-K twin 25mm gun has been slightly reduced.

- The M10 is now firing proper AP shells instead of HEAT ones. Thanks to 123Nick for the report.

I know it works for MP / Skirmish, but if someone could check if it works in the campaign as well now, it would be nice.
Thanks to SilvyMox for the detailed report.

- The display typo concerning the Jäger GrB39 unit has been fixed.

- The ability for the 94M Gaz AA to fire on the move has been removed. It now needs to be stationary to fire. As a twin 25mm automatic gun should, on a truck.

The 2nd Guards Tank Corps is a very aggressive division basing most (if not all) its might on the number of tanks it can field. Pretty low on heavy artillery and AT guns, it can however rely on an interesting array of recon units and some pretty unique infantry squads.
