I liked many things about SPWW2 over SPWaW. The bigggest is that the game engine is based on the 50 metre hex size and not a 200 metre hex size inherited from SP3 that SPaW is based on. I like VCR in SPwaw better than the one in SPWW2 and have mixed feelings about the * and #. SPWW2 tended to be more historically accurate IMHO than SPWaW. Combat was more fair it seemed. I get frustrated that a tank in the same hex with an enemy tank at 0 range has a hit chance of 8% because it doesn't have the moral or experience to do better.

As for 8.1 or 8.2. Well, honestly, and I hate say it but I'm dissappointed that it wasn't a finished product. The fact that there is an 8.2 after only a month or two is reason enough to doubt the accuracy of the changes. I know its free and I'm grateful that someone has given their time and efforts that I might enjoy some fun. Its just that....well, have you ever tried to play basketball with a brand new Christmas present ball that doesn't enough air in it? Yep , you'll get the air, but should you have to?

SPWW2 have many good things. Tough SPWAW is more good from distance. MANY TIMES I speak that if the team guys of SPWAW import some features of SPWW2, the game will be at least 50% more good.
The SPWW2 have more good and accurate OOB's. That's true.
Other thing which I remark good in SPWW2 is that the hitting chance for an AA unit is more flexible and accurate. For example, SPWAW have an incredible bad implementation of the AA units, all have almost fixed percent hiting chance (this is aprox. 8%), no matter the planes is aproaching, no matter the quality of the AA crew, no matter the firing unit, etc. Not long ago I gave an airplane which was fired by 2 units from the same hex, an infantry unit and an 37 mm AA, and both have 8% hit chance ! It's wrong. Something had to be changed here.


On the other way, SPWW2 have more unit categories (aprox. 200), and all are implemented. For example, SPWAW have categories which are present and not (good)implemented. An example, is the helicopter category. In SPWW2 an helicopter can be fired with only the AA weapons, but in SPWAW it can be fired with all wepons, even grenades and assaultings !!?
Other extremely good points for SPWW2 is the more rooms for units in OOB's. They have now 600 slots, and SPWAW only 255, which is not enough. I think even 1500 isn't enough because to develop the game in the good direction, on german side we need more than 1500 free slots to
input all types of weapons/units/ammo. The most visible example, is the german OOB and the airplane section which is a great shame.
I work personally for Romania OOB, airplane section, and until now I have at least 30 slot ocupied (excluded the level bombers, the recon, observers, etc.).

Now Rune be nice. Remf is a good guy who is a little frustrated at the "critical acclaim" 8.x+ is getting. Also he likely has dealt with more of Gavris' "Breakthrows" than we have lately.

So I guess you are also disappointed that windows isn't a finished product? After all they are on which revision of windows now?

And Cars, they keep coming out with new models each year, you would figure after 100 years of making cars they could finally get it right and sell the same car from then on.



Honestly, I like v8.1, I like v7.1, I liked v4.3b, v2.3, and v1.0. There hasn't been a version of SPWAW that I haven't liked. I guess the concept of a labor of love is lost on you, remember they don't even get paid for all this work. If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out.
