No changes.
However the original SSI behaviour in buying was fixed way back. our code decides on
one type of a class for an
entire formation buy - the old code "rolled the dice" on each sub-formation and again if the template unit changed, so you often ended up with mixed platoons in the same company, or even different units of the same class in a platoon, if the templates differed, as well as polyglot companies.
The new code now decides on meeting the first of a class that the one it selects will be used till the next completely new formation buy (A company buy being one buy operation). So if it selects unit #123, then the company (or single platoon if it is only buying the one) will be homogenous. i.e no more Soviet tank coys with 1 T-26 M1933s as co. HQ, a T34 platoon as platoon 1, a T-26 M1933 platoon 2 and a T-26 M1937s platoon 3.
Mixed formations are now done solely by the unit class, or by a scenario designer manually changing individual units of the same class within a formation to represent it.
The X3 radio code has also really been depreciated to usage as a "not for AI use" flag.
