This update is a major expansion of the mod, focused on smarter combat, improved faction behavior, better visuals, and optional compatibility with Superb Warfare.

New Features

  • Soldiers can now recognize and use a much wider range of external weapons
  • Added dynamic weapon classification for rifles, SMGs, shotguns, marksman rifles, snipers, machine guns, and launchers

AI Improvements

Squad Behavior

  • Added lightweight squad context logic
  • Nearby allies now behave more like a coordinated group instead of isolated individuals
  • Soldiers can take practical squad roles such as anchor, pressure, flanker, and support
  • Reduced clumping and overcrowding during combat

Visual and Combat Polish

  • Improved combat readability with cleaner tracer and muzzle flash behavior

Stability and Compatibility
