######## Patch 1.15.4 - Checksum 3889 #########
################################################################
##################################
# Balance
##################################
- Reworked the Infantry Tank MIO to now apply modifiers to all tank classes rather than on a per-class basis. This means that each tank class now has more than 4-5 relevant nodes.
- Added and tweaked the amount of war support and stability gained through focuses through the alt-history branches for Germany. Also modified Wilhelm II's country leader trait
- It is now possible to seize Turkey's Gold Reserves as Germany, and a country can now capitulate to a German faction member (so not just Germany or one of its subjects) for Germany to be able to seize the Gold reserve of the territory they're holding of said nation.
- AI should be more interested in constructing Land Cruisers, if they have the chance.
- Tweaking the German AI to behave more historically by wanting and producing more submarines and strengthening it overall by making it focus its pp on upgrade conscription laws and such.
- Fleet Submarines Special Project now require 1940 Submarine / 1940 Submarine Hull to be researched instead of their 1936 Variant.
- AIP Engine Unique Reward - Option A, now provides -5% Visibility instead of -10%.
- The Return of the Kaiser focus now checks if the controller of Friesland is at war with Germany as a requirement, instead of checking if the Dutch specifically is at war with Germany. If Germany or one of its puppets control the state, Wilhelm II will automatically get reinstated as the Kaiser.
- Tweaked values for Land Cruisers.
- Specialized Helicopter Support Companies can not be combined with Helicopter Brigade (Generalist Helicopter Brigade).
