Battle of the Seelow Heights!
This update includes the first version of the brand new "Seelow" map. It's the first map I built completely from ground up using satellite data. It's quite a large map where you have to defend against waves of Russian tanks. Reinforcements are limited so you have to be very careful what you order or build and try to survive as long as possible with what you have.
Some historical background:
The Battle of the Seelow Heights (German: Schlacht um die Seelower Höhen) was part of the Berlin Strategic Offensive Operation (16 April – 2 May 1945). A pitched battle, it was one of the last assaults on large entrenched defensive positions of the Second World War. It was fought over three days, from 16–19 April 1945. Close to 1,000,000 Soviet soldiers of the 1st Belorussian Front, commanded by Marshal Georgy Zhukov, attacked the position known as the "Gates of Berlin". They were opposed by about 110,000 soldiers of the German 9th Army,commanded by General Theodor Busse, as part of the Army Group Vistula.

- Fixed laggy movement when free looking from AT gun caused by animation optimization.
- Vehicle wheel dust doesn't have emissive color anymore which caused bright colorful dust at night.
