v1.40

Updating for the Firestorm version.

Vehicle burning and fire extinguishing
-A vehicle on fire will keep burning for dozens of seconds until it burns out, and the flames will continue to stun and damage the crew.
When there is a fire extinguisher in the vehicle, player can click an action button to start extinguishing fire immediately.
If player does not click on the button, the AI will automatically use the extinguisher after a period of time (more than 5 seconds).
It will take a few seconds to extinguish the fire. Losing the extinguisher or crew during the extinguishing period will result in failure to extinguish the fire.
-Most vehicles come with one fire extinguisher (a few vehicles carry two).

Cooperative repair
-A single damaged vehicle module can now be repaired by multiple repairers. The more repairers there are, the shorter the time it takes to repair the module.
-Additional repair kits have been added to vehicles' inventory, allow multiple repairers to work together to repair vehicles.

Armor penetration and Vehicle damage
-Removed overpowered frontal hull armor reinforcement from Tiger tank.
-Slightly increased the lower frontal relative thickness of the King Tiger and Jagdtiger.

-Slightly reduced the relative thickness of the lower hull of the Panther.
-Slightly increased the penetration efficiency of small-caliber AP rounds on sloped armor (without frequent ricochets).
-Improved the penetration efficiency of Soviet 76mm AP rounds against sloped armor.
-Slightly increased the penetration efficiency of US T33 AP rounds on sloped armor.
-Decreased the probability of hull failure caused by penetration of lower hull. Increased probability of transmission failure due to penetration of lower hull.
-Slightly reduced the penetration resistance of the tank's engine module, making it easier for shells that penetrate from the rear to hit the hull.
-Reduced the probability of hull failure from APCR rounds.
-Increased the probability of ammunition explosion when penetrating from the side or rear of the tank.
-Slightly reduced the ability of wet ammo rack (used by some M4 Sherman tanks) to avoid ammunition explosion (99% to 90%).
-Explosive impacts on engine modules can now also cause hull damage.
-Extended time for penetration and blast to stun the crew.
-Tank fuel explosion now no longer removes the turret.
-Damage mechanics now matches the two new ammunition explosion effects added in Firestorm.

-Introduced a multiple-repair mechanism that allows a vehicle module to be repaired by multiple soldiers at the same time, reducing the total time required for repairs.

v1.29

---

Fix compatibility issues with realism mode
Fixed incorrect damage modifier for soldiers in houses and trenches
Added missing fire extinguisher item for armored cars
Fixed flying knife killing through walls
Fixed issue that when soldiers threw anti-tank grenades, the grenades would instantly explode and kill them.
Fixed issue where dynamite can't be thrown through walls
Added subtitles for "not penetrated" and "ricochet"
Suppression of unarmored vehicles now reduces their firing accuracy
Increased the penetration probability of anti-tank rifles, but reduced their effectiveness against sloped armor.

Fully upgraded armor mechanics, specifically configuring the effectiveness of different types of guns against sloped armor, as well as increasing the level of protection for some tanks:
The Panther's glacis armor can only be penetrated at close range when attacked by the Panther's and Tiger's main gun.
The Tiger now has better protection when facing the enemy at an angle.
The Pershing's 162.5mm armor on the front hull has been added and its glacis can only be penetrated by the Tiger's main gun at close range.
The M4A3E2's armor level has been increased to a similar level as the Pershing's.
The IS-2 (1944)'s nose armor has been enhanced, it now can only be penetrated by the Tiger's main gun at close range.

v1.28

---

Vehicle damage mechanics
-Added transmission system module. Vehicles will not be able to move when the transmission system is broken (repairable)
-Added fire extinguishers, which will be consumed to extinguish fire when the vehicle catches fire.
-Differentiated between diesel and gasoline engines. Diesel engines have a lower probability of catching fire when penetrated, and it is more difficult to trigger explosion event after fire.
-Reduced the effectiveness of 105mm HE rounds against Medium Tanks, now it is difficult for 105mm HE rounds to damage Medium Tanks unless they hit the top.
-M4 Sherman tanks with wet ammo rack are now more difficult to trigger ammo explosion.
-Fixed the incorrect relative armor calculation (an issue from vanilla game) so that the top armor of all tanks can no longer be randomly pierced from the front.
-Fixed incorrect rear hitboxes for M4 Sherman and M3 Lee tanks, these hitboxes are now correctly treated as “engine” instead of “hull”.
-Changed the relative armor thickness of IS-3 to allow Jagdtiger to penetrate its front hull with probability within 60 meters.
-Reduced the relative armor thickness of KingTiger and Jagdtiger's nose armor.
-Increased the probability of a broken tank being fully destroyed after multiple penetrations.

Misc.
-Added “Fuel Tank Explosion” subtitle for tanks that explode after catching fire.
-Fixed an issue where anti-tank grenades had a chance of bouncing instead of detonating when hitting a tank.
-Added a suppression mechanic for unarmored vehicles that reduces the observation ability of unarmored vehicles when continuously shooting at them.
-Fixed the crushing of soldiers by vehicles.
-Fixed an issue where some anti-tank guns were blocking the line of fire with their own sandbags (an issue from vanilla game)

To be completed
-Improved the glacis armor of Panther tank.

Vehicle Damage Mechanics
-Improved penetration probability of all armor-piercing rounds, especially large-caliber ones.
-Slightly increased the ricochet probability of sloped armor above 60 degrees.
-Adjusted and improved the damage mechanics of unarmored vehicles:
Unarmored vehicles now do not burn up too quickly after being set on fire.
Rocket Launchers are now more effective at destroying unarmored vehicles.
Removed the unreasonable explosion mechanics of some unarmored vehicles.
-The following tanks now have a probability of triggering ammo explosion when their turret is pierced for having ammo stored in the turret:
KV-2, T-34-85, KV-85, IS-1, IS-2, IS-3, M36GMC, T29, KingTiger.
The probability of explosion is determined by the amount of ammunition carried, and can be avoided by consuming or discarding a certain amount of ammunition.
Penetrating the turret from the rear has a higher probability of triggering explosion.
-Large-caliber shells now have a probability of killing or wounding the tank crew other than the commander when penetrating the cupola.
-Reduced the probability of ammunition explosion for unarmored vehicles and static weapons.

Heavy Vehicle Balance and Fixes
-Rebalanced the armor of KingTiger, Jagdtiger, IS-3, SuperPershing, and T95GMC to ensure that the armor of these vehicles is more in line with their proper level of protection.
-Fixed the T95GMC's incorrect cupola armor setting, now penetrating the cupola will no longer damage its hull.
-Fixed the T95GMC's incorrect engine hitbox, now its engine can no longer be hit from the front top.
-Slightly increased the penetration resistance of the SuperPershing's additional hull armor to prevent it from being penetrated by Jagdtiger at a distance.

Weapons
-Adjusted the reload times for some guns, as larger caliber guns take longer to reload.

Other
-Fixed an issue where a tank on fire would not be able to get crew in after the fire was out.
-Fixed an issue of grenades bouncing repeatedly on houses.
-Added subtitles for tank cupola penetration.
-Optimized scripts to improve performance.
