Performance:

• faction data collection on first boot of OPCOM should be faster now, especially with lots of factions loaded
  
• possible gameplay performance boost, due to script optimization and bug fixes

Version: 0.0.211121.1

This is a small update to fix some annoying bugs and problems. For usability, I've tweaked the faction settings to make it more intentional on how to change commander, infantry, vehicles etc.

I've also started reworking the AI settings. They now have their own category in the settings. You can set skills per faction and for your squad. If you use other mods that set skills, or if you want to keep everything from your Arma profile settings, skills can now be disabled and they are disabled by default. You can also make your squad invulnerable, if you don't want them to die.

Sorry for not having more at the moment, but this week I've had a few issues and found out, that I'll need a small surgery, next week. Nothing concerning, but painful, which holds me back from scripting.

In the second half of December I should be back in the saddle and be able to script and deliver more. Meanwhile I do what I can. :)

**CREATING A NEW GAME IS RECOMMENDED!**
I cannot guarantee, that this update will work with saves including the previous version of this mod.
