[YAK-R]

Fixed kit reservation system allowing you to have 2 medics in your squad without deselecting the class.

I figured that was a feature, rather than a bug..

nice patch notes overall, great work!

Added ammo indicator to show the approximate amount of bullets left in the magazine.

I was fully used to not having an ammo indicator too...

Really cool update!
Will we see Boxer and Fennek for Germans too in the future?
I think the Dutch are now the most high tech faction in game (even hk 416, oh god!)
