Hurrah!
Lots of good little tweaks as always.
Kudos to the designers for never ceasing to improve this great series of games eh!

Odd thing about AA not shooting at infantry as often as earlier, AA fired much more frequently at infantry than planes. I purchase SPAA for anti-infantry purposes as it was used historically. Any idea why this has been changed?

You would have to ask them bro.

They way I saw their explanation for a few of their tweaks was that they were trying to get units to avoid giving their position away unnecessarily.
So that's AT and AA units firing off at infantry...and scouts, snipers, FOs, HQs etc firing at longer range for no good reason.

I get around all that by simple use of the Y key and setting ranges...and in a more detailed way by using filters.
Not a big difference for me there.

Yes, I read that explanation too but in case of AA it's perhaps not correct. Well, have to change the style and not buy AA anymore which I suppose is what they are after.
