New locations and missions

Enduring Confrontation
All pillboxes in ground battles have been replaced with tanks.
Standardisation of tank types by BR and armour for different matchmaking ranks and nations.
Ground vehicles of rank VII have been added to the templates for ground battles and convoys.
AAA around bombing bases has been moved to a system of importing units from a rank based list - now each rank will have its own air defense and not 88mm AAA from WWII era.
The logic of bombing bases, airfields, port and sea convoy templates has been redesigned that allows the “saving” of about 100 units which should reduce the server load.
In events where aircraft AI glitches and sends AI bombers/Attackers over the playable map area, a mechanic has been introduced that checks if the AI aircraft are in the wrong place, checks if they have completed the task, resets the AI for the selected aircraft and if the task is completed hides the aircraft by marking the task as completed and if not looks for a new target for them.

Ground Vehicle model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes

VAB SANTAL - Comment for the vehicle: our players have provided extensive and useful information as a result of their analysis it was decided to further refine the model of the vehicle. The modifications will consist of changing and refining the model for launchers, aiming devices and the turret used but retaining the current chassis model. Since most of the changes are made to the appearance of the model and will not affect battle characteristics after making them, it was decided that the vehicle will be added in this update in the current form with the characteristics corresponding to the real model of the turret and fire control system. When the fixes for the vehicle will be ready they will be applied to it. Thank you for your consideration.
