PR:BF2 v1.7.0.0 Changelog

[[R-DEV]Mineral]

With this update we conclude the year 2021. Including in this release we finally implemented one of the most requested features: Ballistics. The v1.7 update includes authentic drop on ballistic projectiles fired from vehicles as well as proper ways to account for the drop. Infantry weapons currently are not affected.
Additionally we also expand the WW2 theatre. Not only do we include the first 4km map on the west front, but we also added planes and anti-air vehicles for both the Wehrmacht and US Army in this theatre of war. Last but not least the People's Liberation Army received with the ZBL-08 a long needed modern IFV. read the changelog below for the full list of changes, quality of life changes and bug fixes coming with v1.7.
