291st Engineers (US Armor) repair speed is 50hp per tick
Other balance changes/bug fixes:

Luftwaffe AT gun lg-40 cost has been changed from 250mp 75 mun to 100mp 70 mun
(Bug fix) Sherman smoke upgrade was unintentionally locked behind tech tree unlock. Now all Sherman variants can purchase smoke upgrade regardless of tech tree unlocks

Luftwaffe tech tree unlock changed from Panther to free Paznzerfausts for Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 squads

Troops have a much greater chance of escaping a destroyed building.

Nerfed height advantage of small arms weapons. The old value was if your squad was 3.5m higher than your opponent, then the weapon would ignore any cover and do full damage. 3.5m has been changed to 6m.
For example, the Garand does 14 damage per shot and will only do 7 damage per shot to an enemy in heavy cover. With the height advantage of 3.5m, the Garand will do the full 14 damage to troops in heavy cover.
Part of the reason for the change is that it's not exactly clear sometimes when this advantage is hurting/helping you. Due to the lower TTK of Wikinger, it can take too long to figure out when this is happening. This especially true if you are facing a garrisoned enemy...as the icon for cover doesn't change even though your garrisoned opponent is getting the "negate_cover" advantage. (Relic bug I think).
