In addition to changes to classes, special units, and infantry combat, the patch makes huge changes to the dodge mechanic, Heroes & Villains, location design, bug fixes, and more. You can read the full, lengthy list of patch notes here.
Different to previous lists of patch notes, DICE has gone into extreme detail about not only every specific change, but also the reasoning behind the tweaks and improvements. It’s like the developer actually wants players to understand why things are happening, which may help lessen the friction between player and the creators. I think this is a wise move, and we’ve seen it work well for other developers, such as Blizzard with Overwatch and Hearthstone.
