A good patch overall, but AA again seems to be more effective, so tank guns need to be toned down a bit against aircraft again, imo.

But, the rest isn't bad.

Blood is good.
The Bazooka smoke looks good.
More info on the hud is good.
Hangar/Tank fix is good.
Friendly mine indicator is good.

Doubt it very much. But Ive never tried it. The game in general is awsome so why dont ya get it anyways. They already released an expansion for it and another coming this fall. Plus with all the mods out there it seems that this game is neverending.
