Wow that's a pretty huge update!

Glad to see that you're still working on the game, looking forward to checking out all these new changes.

Any eta? Curious especially about the 'redesigned interface in tank mode'.

Good news indeed andrey12345, thanks again for your continued "unofficial" support for SABoW, it's greatly appreciated

# 8 is the best ONE.

Good to see things are still rolling... and to the right direction! So many good things listed there.

+ Finally we get rid of that know-everything-minimap.

@Andrey
Would it be possible to change the appearance of enemies on the tactical map too? I find it weird to have an exact knowledge and location of the enemy on the map. How about just showing a general area of spotted enemies, their type and approximate number?

Turn off markers.... this info present from begining: time, direction, spot place and enemy type

Markers cannot be turned off from the tactical map, and even if it would be possible, only enemy markers should be turned off. Friendly markers should stay. Also - in addition to time, direction, spot and enemy type - showing spotted enemy strenght would be very important.

At least for me this would be a good step towards increasing simulation value of the game. There wasn't a GPS map back then.

Some other additions would also be nice regarding to this markers removal. Here's a few suggestions / ideas:

1) Player (as a commander) could request an update of enemy information / movements => all the enemy contacts (time, direction, spot, enemy type, strenght) seen by friendly forces could be updated on the tactical map with a slight delay.

2) On the tactical map, friendly units engaged in combat could be visualized.
