For some reason, the large building with the tank on is rotated 180 degrees when put into an actual mission. Therefore, I've just spun it around to counter this.
DCS features a massive range of aircraft and land vehicles, and not all of them make their role(s) clear just from the name alone. What this commit does is add an "information" button (and resultant window) to the recruitment section. This should allow new players to understand what each unit is/does.
Current state - every aircraft has a country of origin and an introduction date for that variant. Some also have a small placeholder description, taken from ED's store page for that aircraft. There is also a placeholder picture (taken from a rejected image from my own personal photography) that will, in time, show a banner image of each unit.
Todo - add appropriate screenshots for each aircraft's banner, replace the placeholder text for each aircraft (this will take a while...) and add more data points for each unit type, such as a unit role (i.e. "air-superiority fighter", "multirole fighter", etc) or perhaps a list of weapons carried. I also haven't made a start on the huge number of ground units yet.
They definitely feel too much like placeholders at this point.
They should be removed until they're in a better state.

This makes the names of the aircraft displayed to the player in the UI more verbose and readable.
It allows allows specific countries to display an aircraft's name differently. An example of this would be the JF-17 Thunder, which is known in China as the FC-1 Fierce Dragon - this now displays correctly in the Liberation UI.
The SU-17M4 represents the remaining Su-22s that Poland still flies.
I've used the Stryker as a replacement for the KTO Rosomak, which was in service as far back as 2007.
There were a few Molniyas still in service as of 2010, namely the Metalowiec and Rolnik, as well as a singular Kilo class.
