This update deepens the simulation and sharpens the feedback. Enemy forces now recover and react over time, missions and events are more varied and can overlap, and outcomes clearly show their consequences. Weather, audio, visuals, and desk details are more cohesive, while clarity improvements make it easier to understand why things go wrong. The war pushes harder but intuitively.
