Where can I find the content in the June patch?

I'm very concerned with what kind of balancing issues and tweaks that Relic is doing but I can't find any websites that explicitly say what kind of tweaks are being tested. I'm especially worried about a rumor that the US faction is getting a non-doctrinal mortar at the beginning. This would completely obliterate Ostheer. Also I'm interested in the tweaks that Relic is making for the Brit emplacements.

They are getting a mortar, but I think you are making the mistake of imagining that it is simply going to be added to current builds making them stronger. The truth is that every mortar is one less rifle. 2 rifles and one mortar isn't any stronger then 3 rifles, it only matters what type of build it's facing.

I bet most playing as the US will still get the same number of rifles and then get a mortar, this will simply delay teching slightly. Plus it may save them the grenade upgrade so in fact the fuel saved for that will actually help quicker tech. Secondly, I don't understand why the US faction needs a mortar at the start, grenades are extremely deadly against mgs. If the mg is not in a building, 70% of the time a grenade will completely wipe the mg crew if its in light or heavy cover, since the crew will bunch up. I heard its to counter mg spam, but seriously, most ostheer players go for just one mg sometimes two. I can understand players that go for mg spam is cuz their tired of US infantry hordes just charging recklessly into the fray and still coming out as the victor of the engagement. Zero micro required. Ostheer players could whine about brit emplacement spam and we should have some outlandishly op counter to that (for example, upgrading the halftrack to a walking stuka at tier 2) and having it perform like the OKW stuka. A faction can't have everything. The US early game is hands down the strongest. Is it really necessary to boost their options against mgs? Ostheer need mgs the most cuz grens simply can't hold their ground against rifles or inf sections.
