Week 3 Update to the Balance Mod

Jager light infantry doesn't pop out from buildings with infiltration grenades ready to be thrown. So i see no point for falls to exit from buildings with their bundle grennades ready. It's not quite right.... Same should be appicable to all units that exist from buildings and can throw grenades, no matter if we speak about falls, partisans or whatever.

That's the best solution to infiltration cheese imo.

However, I would go one step further:
- Infiltration units spawn with pistols and no access to their abilities (nades, snares, etc)
- The units need to purchase a (free) upgrade before they can access their guns
- Falls/JLI gain a crappy form of stealth at Vet0, so that they have an equal chance of infiltrate + research their upgrades.

That way you get both infiltration play (requires pre-planning now), and infiltration counterplay (patrolling, if your faction has no access to garrison destruction abilities).

Quality of Life

Developer Comments: We are adding a hold fire toggle button so the Sherman Bulldozer doesn’t fire at units that is unintended.

And this is not added to all tanks because ??

Because other tanks either can damage what they shoot at(dozer can't even hit armor),
other tanks shot much faster(like command p4),
other tanks already have hold fire vs infantry(AT oriented and generalists).

Meh...prioritize vehicles disables MGs.
And I still can't hold fire against tanks if I want to.
Many battles come down to the last shot, and I would really like to have control
over when that shot will be fired, like after I stopped to aim,
or when not to be fired, like when I want to disappear in the fog of war.
But one would bet you already knew that.
