I have version 1.5.1. for the cow sprite. I guess it should be fine in next version.

I always recommend updating from https://github.com/SolariusScorch/XComFiles - it should be 100% functional most of the time and really helps with catching bugs. (Also has all the new stuff added after the last official release.)

On the Moon core assult mission, using an avenger, the equipment pile spawned on the bottom floor as well as some people

Interesting... Can't see why and how.

If I can replicate it would you like a screenshot?

I tried to launch the mission again and everything was fine, maybe it was a one time thing?

My favorite kind of bugs. We had one that reproduces after 10000 restarts in my works once (that was on an car instrumental cluster).

Anyway, the 7.62 ammo should also be NATO - "7.62 NATO". It is also a standard NATO ammo like the 5.56.

Also shouldn't the M-14, FN-FAL and Galil, that use it, require "Cult Arms Dealers" researched?

Yeah, this is why the name is "7.62x51 ammo". Do you think "7.62 NATO ammo" would be better?

It's a conundrum. When there weren't as many guns, it was easy to assign weapons to various cults, but later I started adding side pats for alternate weapons. I guess I should rethink this system.

You have 5.56 NATO and the WP for the standard Warsaw Pact ammo. The 7.62 is the one that lacks NATO, even though it is a standard NATO ammo. So I think it would be better to be inline with the other designations.

OK, but "7.62 NATO Ammo" or "7.62x51 NATO Ammo"?

Both are fine. May be the second to further differentiate it from the WP 7.62x39.

Dossier: Sakamori Motoko

Says Japanese Defense Force, should be Japanese Self-Defence Force. That is their official name, but maybe something completely different is meant here. In which case sorry to bother you.

According to Wikipedia, both forms are acceptable, so I chose the shorter one. In my personal opinion, the original 自衛隊 can be translated as both with no change in meaning.
