• Italy gains their correct unused steel capacity
• Split Factory Coal Consumption, Coal is now split into:
• 2 Coal passive Factory consumption
• 1,75 Coal Variable Civillian Consumption

• Update German Trained Personnel Spirit
  • Penalty did not scale up fast enough and decayed too fast

  • Was throwing off equipment and manpower calculations, since garrisons would start with massive amounts of manpower and equipment that could then be easily reclaimed by just changing the template
  • Instead all significant countries now start with a generic cavalry garrison template
  • Some room for improvement for specific nations, but will be decent for all countries
• Increased Air Superiority Required For Paradrop

• Now requires Soviet and Germany to not be at war
• Adjusted Korean Compliance to the intended level
• Was 75, should have been 90, adjusted accordingly
• Fix Carrier Targeting
  • Carrier targeting was set to make it so that carriers would actively de-prioritise enemy ships as they damaged them, preventing carriers from ever dealing decisive damage to an enemy fleet
  • Corrected, now the more damaged a ship becomes the more likely carrier wings are to target them
