WP - Update to v19

AIM OF THIS WIKI PROJECT
Update the entire Squad Wiki to the current version B19 of Squad.

See all Release Versions.

WORKFLOW

 * 1) If you find changelog line that do no have any effect on the wiki, move it from section #Not yet finished to section #No Wiki Change Necessary. Ideally, we do this clean-up process first to then focus on actual work for the wiki.
 * 2) From section #Not yet finished, pick a changelog line you want to work on. Update the wiki according to the changelog. Maybe more than one page will be affected by one changelog line - so you have to know the wiki pages to find all the places that might need updating. If unsure, ask Usgu. some suggestions where changelogs should go on the wiki have been added. Also, apply some thought how and where to best include the new information on the wiki.
 * 3) When you are done, move the changelog line to section #Already finished. Please also list the wiki pages you have updated for this changelog - this makes it easier for other editors to see what you have done.

NEW SYSTEMS

 * Upgraded Squad to Unreal Engine 4.23. This upgrade comes with a lot of performance improvement potential that we have started to work with, and will be further utilizing in upcoming patches.
 * Added the ability to drag incapacitated players. This will allow players to pull downed squad mates out of danger areas such as roads and open fields to a safe triage point, to await a safe revival from a teammate or medic. A drag UI icon will be displayed on the player’s HUD when a friendly incapacitated body is within 10 meters. To Drag an incapacitated body, press the Use button (Default: F) on the shoulders, neck, or feet of an incapacitated body while crouching. When a player is dragging a body, their speed will be reduced and they will have to drop the body to fire their weapon.
 * Added the ability to destroy helicopter tail rotor components with projectiles. This will cause a loss of control of the helicopter. This will increase the vulnerability of Helicopters.
 * Added Nvidia Highlights System. When enabled, this system allows a player to have short video clips automatically save based on certain events that happen in-game. Initial trigger events include: destroying a helicopter with an AT Launcher, triggering an IED, and knifing an enemy. More trigger events will be added in future releases.

OPTIMIZATION

 * Optimization and maintenance pass on Lighting FX: Improved FX for Ambient FX, weapons, vehicles, explosions, bullet impacts.
 * Optimization and maintenance pass on various VFX including: FOB destruction, UGL Smoke, muzzle flashes, projectile tracers, tank shell blasts, vehicle exhaust, ricochets, armor impacts, and sandstorm FX.
 * Optimized Vehicle Wheel VFX for trucks, tracked vehicles, bikes, and APCs to include new parameters for better performance optimization.
 * Optimized T72B3 woodland turret textures to 2k. (Previously 4k).
 * Optimized environment texture sizes, which aids in reducing memory space usage.
 * Updated the map markers to use a new system that should be much more efficient on the network for clients and servers.

GAME MODES

 * Updated CP Capture Logic. Only infantry will be able to capture CPs (flags); previously vehicle drivers were also contributed. The intent is for Infantry to be the only class to influence CP capture status with “Boots on the Ground.”
 * Updated Insurgency Caches to have a 3-meter no-deploy zone around them to emove the possibility of “entombing” a Cache in deployable walls.
 * Updated Insurgency and Destruction Objective Caches: they can now be destroyed both by Incendiary grenades and player-deployed timed explosives such as IED, TNT, and C4.
 * Updated Artillery, Heavy Mortars, Mortars, and CAS to no longer damage Caches.
