• Fixed BurstDelay0-4 not working correctly. Burst settings were added in the previous update, but I forgot to add them to the patch notes.

New ini settings

• BlossomTreeDamage, BlossomTreeWarhead [Combat] - Damage and warhead of the blossom trees.
  
• BurstDelay [Combat] - Delay in GameTicks between two shots when firing a weapon with Burst > 1 (def=9).

‼️ This version doesn't work with saved games made with prior versions.‼️

• The armor system has been rewritten to allow more customization. Inspired by RA2 mod Ares[ares-developers.github.io]. See this thread for detailed informations.
  
• Added several new customization options.
  
• Self heal from SelfHealing=yes now stacks with self heal from veteran levels.
  
• ⚠️Burst is now a weapons setting like in RA and later games, the setting was on the unit before. Setting primary and secondary to the same weapon now enables multi shooter like in RA.‼️ This will probably break many user modifications so please update your ini files.
  
• ⚠️Removed the XYZ_FIXUPS ini section (e.g. [FTNK_FIXUPS]), the directional FLH and offset values are now read directly from the UnitType section (e.g. [FTNK]). Offset value positions corrected to x,y was y,x (x = horizontal, y = vertical).

Object changes

• RAMEDI (Medic) now has self heal (up to 100%).
  
• E2 (Grenadier): removed legend ability TWO_SHOOTER, updated GrenadeMK2 stats to compensate, GrenadeMK2 isn't inaccurate anymore.

• ARTY: removed legend ability TWO_SHOOTER, added VeterancyPrimary 155mmE (triple shot weapon, new sound).
  
• APC,BGGY,JEEP: removed legend ability TWO_SHOOTER, increased damage of M60MK2 to compensate.
  
• AlienRifle, M60MK2: replaced the HE warhead with SA2. Which does higher damage against infantry but the damage against buildings is reduced. The SA2 warhead can not destroy walls or tiberium.
  
• HollowPoint: This warhead can now bypass shields as it was able to quickly deplete a Shield tank's shield.
  
• I_U2 (Kevlar Vest): now also reduces the damage of the SA2 warhead.

New ini settings

• Versus.ArmorName.Retaliate [WarheadTypes] - Whether or not this warhead is allowed to be used in retaliation against the 'ArmorName'.

Updated ini settings

• ⚠️PrimaryFirePixelOffset [UnitType] renamed to FLHOffset. It never was a pixel offset, the value is in leptons. It never referred only to the primary weapon, so "Primary" was removed from the name.
  
• ⚠️LifeLeech [WarheadTypes] has been renamed to CureIfLethal. It never was a LifeLeech effect. Help text has been added to indicate that this setting only works when killing infantryman.
  
• Verses/Versus [WarheadTypes] now accepts the special value Infinity (or short inf). When Infinity is used the damage of the weapon is the targets current health.

• ⚠️PickWeight [all unit types and defensive buildings] - Controls the likelihood that the custom AI will build this object. Defaults to 0 which means the AI will not build this object.
