General
1 - In-game unit ratings
   Have been adjusted to reflect, as objectively as possible, the effectiveness of the squad in question vs. intended targets.
   Ratings are out of 10.
   Only some US and WM squads are currently coded; the rest will be done with R036.

2 - Skins
   New skins have been added to all variants of the vCoH model Sherman, the M10, the StuG, Puma, Tiger, P4, and Panther. These skins should not interfere with skinpacks; in fact skinpacks should be able to overwrite them without any trouble.

   The Tiger can have its skin toggled depending on whether the WM Mobility upgrade in the in-game reward menu is activated or not.
   The P4 and Panther can have their skins toggled depending on whether the WM Armor upgrade in the in-game reward menu is activated or not.

   For the time being, the IST and PE Panther will share skins with the WM variants--dedicated PE skins are planned for R036.

3 - All companies
   Have been wiped.

4 - All doctrine unlocks
   Costs equalized at 100 PP each across all factions.

Please give time for SQL work to be completed; I *think* that I've covered the majority of fancy SQL unit swaps that might mess up companies, but I'm not 100% certain--if I make any requests to delete a specific unit or somesuch, please comply with it--I'll only ask if I'm certain that it might end up breaking your company.

EDIT: Okay, I think the fancy SQL stuff is done. Huzzah.
