• CCRPs and nuke-carrying aircraftNuke-carrying aircraft can now perform CCRP bombing again.disabled→enabled again
• Ground carrier aircraft swaps (US/Japan, China, Italy)Ground Battles: carrier aircraft substitutions across nations to balance capabilities.Canberra B.Mk.6, Jaguar A, Su-24M, F-16A MLU, Tornado IDS ASSTA1→B-57B Canberra, F-105D, JH-7A, J-10A, Tornado IDS (1995))
• Nuclear Escalation – general era & map changesNew Nuclear Escalation era split into BR 8.7–9.7 and 10.0–11.0 with mirrored mission setup.→New era added with two BR brackets
• Nuclear Escalation – airfields & SAM systemsAirfields feature Osa and Rapier SAM systems, occupying strategic positions near S-75 and HAWK in higher BRs.→Osa and Rapier systems added; positions align with S-75/HAWK at high BR
• Nuclear Escalation – absence of MLRSMLRS are not present in this Nuclear Escalation era.→Absent
• Ground Battles – factory/depot rebuild timersDestroyed factories and depots take longer to rebuild (15 minutes instead of 10) to increase defense feasibility.10 minutes→15 minutes min
• AA guns at tactical assembly areas – respawn changesAA guns no longer respawn on a timer; they reappear only when the related building is restored.timer-based→only after linked building restored
• Armored vehicle depots – production cap enforcementDepots stop attempting to produce vehicles once the total limit is reached, reducing fuel/ammo waste.→no more beyond total limit
• Convoy capture interactions – respawn and repairDestroyed AA guns assigned to buildings respawn and are repaired upon capture.→respawn and repaired when a convoy captures a building
• Convoys – capturing destroyed factories/warehousesDestroyed factories/warehouses can be captured; ruins are repaired and become operational instantly.→can capture destroyed factories/warehouses; ruins repaired and operate immediately
• Tank convoys – pathing through buildingsTank convoys no longer pass through buildings; tanks reinforce nearby garrisons instead.through buildings→no longer go through buildings; tanks used to reinforce garrisons at strongpoints
• Convoys – retargeting en routeConvoys dynamically retarget to next objective when current target is no longer viable.static→re-select target if original destroyed, captured, or filled
• Supply convoys – depot targetingSupply convoys now choose among the three nearest depots by fill level rather than targeting the far side.depots on opposite side→least filled of three nearest depots
• Tank convoy speed when enemies nearbyTank convoys no longer slow by 80% when an enemy is nearby, improving capture likelihood.slows to 20%→no slowdown due to enemy proximity percent
• Self-propelled guns – random target selectionConvoys with self-propelled guns now pick a random nearby enemy building to engage and take a firing position.deterministic→random among nearest enemy buildings
