Fallschirmjager
- Vet5 fixed (would not apply the +15% accuracy bonus)
- Weapon penetration from 1.2/1.1/1 to 1/1/1
- No longer capture territory while still airborne (behaviour changed to match paratroopers)

Hetzer/M10
- Build time from 60 secs to 45 secs (used to be instant, at live)

Luchs
- Build time from 85 secs to 75 secs

Jaeger Command squad
- Now benefits from passive healing at Vet2

Propaganda Artillery

USF 76mm Sherman
Vet2/Vet3 now match Lend Lease sherman veterancy (used to be M4A3 sherman vet)

Thanks, I think some more changes didn't make it in but I'm not quite sure which ones since the patch notes are so incredibly long.

I recognize that the potential for RE spam like the good old days was there but I was hoping since the smoke changes were encouraging an increased reliance upon REs in combat roles, they would gain a bit of additional utility. I think Live(same as prepatch) right now makes their target size while using that ability far too vulnerable.

The main thing about Volley fire is that it applies suppression, and suppression penalties are extremely binary:
- You either don't get suppressed, and it means that the ability is useless
- or you get suppressed and you have a cheap-ass squad can 1v1 any squad out of any engagement

A non-binary penalty that also gives the enemy time to react would be more appropriate.

The primary reason Volley Fire got reverted was that I began noticing weird artifacts, e.g., an RE squad depleted to two men would be able to suppress and then almost instantly pin grenadiers behind green cover, etc.
