Platoons revamp
Bravo, Charlie and Delta platoons were not widely used and so they have been completely revised. Each now offers a unique bonus that adds a layer of strategy to the mission.
- Bravo: Can call a medevac at anytime to end the mission.
- Charlie: Add a recruit as a reserve; they join a platoon if a comrade dies or flees.
- Delta: A recruit can be promoted to Elite before going to mission (+Damage and always in cover).
Those platoons were moved to the second tier of the skill tree. The Head and Kitchen locations have been moved down to the first tier.
(The purchase of previous platoons has been reset. Prestige will be refunded and the new platoons can be bought again)
