Patch 2.24.13 Applied:
This was done last night, but just getting around to making the post today. Details of what's included are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where performing a search on Alpha Strike damage values would sometimes cause the processing dialog to hang.

Changes
  • Changed how information related to structure and communications (type, technology, and model), are stored in the database for easier, more consistent, retrieval.
  • Changed the Source field (available to Admins only) to be a lookup instead of a dropdown.
  • Added the Minesweeper as equipment now available to combat vehicles.
  • Added a '#' button just to the right of the 'Add Equipment' button during design of units. This will allow you to quickly add a user-specified quantity of the equipment currently selected. This is particularly useful when wanting to add many shots of ammo on ProtoMechs.

NOTE: Any forces or units impacted by the above fixes and/or changes have had their stats recalculated to ensure accuracy.

================================================================================================
Overview:
    As the DCMS called for a new calvary tank in 3025 Scarborough Manufacturers answered with
    their first non-hover vehicle: the tracked Wild Weasel Light Tank.

Capabilities:
    Scarborough made the uncommon decision to use a rare fusion engine to design a light and
    fast tank with a heavy weapon.
    Due to that fusion engine the 25 ton tank can achieve a maximum speed of 97 kph in open
    terrain and 119 kph on roads.
    The Wild Weasel carries an unexpected heavy type of weapon: a single
    turret mounted PPC. The minimum range can pose a problem but the designers thought it fast
    enough to keep its distance.
    The armor isn't that massive but was considered sufficient.

Variants:
    Some vehicles that survived the 4th Succession War were modified with new technology.
    An ER large laser and two heat sinks replaces the PPC to gain range and negate the minimum
    range  at the cost of some firepower.
    The turret was lightened and 5 tons of the new ferro-fibrous armor now protect its frame.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Scarborough only delivered a small series of 40 vehicles to the DCMS and some mercenaries
    deemed worth it.
