Did anyone seriously think we went through, one by one, and checked the ranges of each and every weapon in the game, then tried to make sure they were correct??? My God we would still be working on it!!! The OOB project actually more or less Turned into "Enhanced" I guarantee 99% of what was voted on in there is in Enhanced. We corrected tons of inconsistencies, fixed what we knew about, Fixed what got voted on, and fixed what we stumbled across. We certainly did not have the time or the resources to check each and every weapon in the frickin game, that have been messed with for 10 years by countless numbers of OOB teams and others. over the years it appears things got changed in one oob, but corresponding units in other oobs did not get the same changes. we found this kind of thing hundreds of times and fixed them. Plus, everyone over the years tried to input thier own take on how they thought some unit or weapon should work, as opposed to knowing how the game code was meant to work with them. things like increasing Fire control values all over the place because they thought that Tank 'A' should be getting more hits, than Tank 'B', or some such nonsense. We were fortunate enough to have Mike Wood help us, because he too had become frustrated at how the OObs over the years had been tweaked and tweaked until they had become a mess. Look folks, we busted our asses on this thing, sometimes 16 hours a day, for months and months. and are still fixing things here and there that we find or someone points out. We think we came up with the cleanest set of oobs since Version 1 of SPWAW came out!! None of you really knows how screwed up the oobs really were when we started on this, unless you have spent about 6 months to a year going through them for hours upon hours everyday. Hell I think Flash counted over 1000 emails from me while this was going on. Plus we also dealt with the ratings for months as well. I sure dont mind the "hey I noticed such and such looks wrong" , or " Could you take a look at..." but showing up once every few months to complain and act like some error you found is something we did, or something we just blatantly ignored or missed because we are stupid is just too much.... Happy Holidays
