Update 4 sierpnia 2021

In this update we continue to grow mission variety for all our campaigns, including the new Invasion for the German side - counter attack from the Reichstag.

We have also worked on the lighting, and excluded excessively dark versions of missions, especially on the Berlin map, or have added some extra light sources there.

Combat interface and navigation in the Lone Fighters mode has been improved, and capture points are now marked with smoke signals!
