Update: Jan 1, 2024 @ 1:40pm

• Updated scenario to DB503.
• Various order of battle updates.
• Various event and special action fixes.
• Various Lua fixes.
• Added additional random Iranian SAM and Radar upgrade options.
• The number of USAF fighter squadrons deployed no longer influences Iranian readiness.
• Special Actions Overhaul: Special Actions are now "gated" to help improve usability.
• Special Actions Overhaul: Consolidated the USAF deployment actions. There is now a single action per aircraft type. To deploy units, select a friendly airbase and execute the desired action.
• Special Actions Overhaul: Due to the nature of the revised changes and Command Lua API limitations, all scenario setup actions must be completed before saving and exiting the scenario.
• Added Israel Special Action: Request US Missile Strike. Unlocks SSN and SSGN 'Missile Strike special actions. Select target(s) you wish to strike, execute the desired action. A dialog box will appear asking how many missiles you wish to fire at each target. Random chance to be approved by default, but can be guaranteed if you use Remove Randomization option.
• Added Special Action: Iran Strike, 2024. Post Israel-Hamas War strike in early 2024. Minor updates to the IAF. Replaces the Truman CSG with the combined Ford/Eisenhower CSGs. Reduces the number of available USAF KC-135s, removes all KC-10s and E-8Cs (no longer flying combat missions). Unlocks option to deploy a limited number of KC-46A Pegasus tankers to replace KC-10s.
• Added Special Action: Enable Search and Rescue. This is an optional feature. When enabled downed aircrews have a chance to be created when aircraft are destroyed. Aircrews can be rescued by moving a rescue capable helicopter or ship close and executing the "Conduct CSAR" special action. Rescue capable forces will automatically be added when SAR is enabled.
• Added Special Action: Setup Forward Refueling Point. Enabled when SAR is activated. Allows the creation of FARPs to refuel rescue forces. Can be created by selecting a Israel C-130J or USAF MC-130J Commando II and executing the special action.
• Added Special Action: Conduct Cyberattack Against Iranian Command and Control. Affected Iranian units will become autodetectable. Aircraft will eventually be restored to normal, while facilities will remain autodetected.
• Added Special Action: Conduct Cyberattack Against Iranian Communications. Affected Iranian units will be cut off from the Iranian common operating picture (set to no comms).
• Added Conduct Cyberattack Against Iranian Sensor Network special action. Generates false contacts/decoys around a selected electronic warfare aircraft. False contacts will patrol around Iranian airspace. False contacts will disappear if identified, destroyed, or after a period of time.
• Added False Missile Strike special actions. Fires a false missile strike (decoys) at selected target. Decoys will disappear within 5nm of target.

Each cyberattack will reduce the chance of success for succeeding actions. Effects will only last for a limited period of time. After the reset increment, there is a chance units will be reset to normal. The time between reset attempts will be reduced, and the chance of reset success will be increased. This will continue until all units have been reset.
