My priority would be Bugs/gameplay issues
blatant oob mistakes
make aircraft less deadly
make arty more deadly
make two oobs pre 42 germans and post 42

Status: offline 		I would say make the 75mm/76mm arty more deadly
not ALL arty tho, as most of it is pretty deadly

Make a new movement speed in between 0 and 1
on my PC its either super fast on setting 0 or jerky on setting 1.

look over the rarity codes. some things ALWAYS unavailable with rarity on.

correct blatant oob errors

Look over countries morale experience numbers, maybe make some adjustments

cant think of anything else...

just wondering your reason for 2 german oobs?

If the Italians has a single "cappoccino bomb" in their arsenal that would spill hot coffee on everyone within a 7 hex area, should it be a 300 pt unit because it was so rare? Or, should it cost 1 point because it is a silly weapon?

Status: offline 		JUst one request.... RETURN to using proven verifable information for equipment. This attempt to make it "feel right" is hogwash. I wont be playing SP:WaW anymore if the trend is to make equipment "feel right" by changeing verified information into fantasy land stats. What feels right to you doesnt necassarily feel right to me..... use correct data.

Status: offline 		I'd love some more units in the game that we have not seen so far.

Personally, I'm pretty happy with it as it is. As a scenario designer in the game from the very original Steel Panthers, I must say that this one gives me more tools than I ever thought possible. I love this game. It will be a perennial in my garden of wargaming always.

Status: offline 		I agree with the 75mm assesment. I like using the 75mm onboard a lot. But it would not hurt if they were able to kill something once in a while. Right now i use them for the smoke more then anything because of this.

Also about the icons getting lost. Put bells are something on the small mortors please. I have a heck of time trying to find them. They do not move as fast as the infantry. This cause me to forget to move them up. And then i lose them.

Status: offline 		I can't really think of 5 realistic requests actually.

It would be nice if the AI was the ghost of Zhukov Patton Rommel all wrapped up together though :)

It would be nice if I was not told squat about my combat effects. ie I shoot at a tank and it doesn't blow up. Ok shoot again. I don't want to be told 23% chance.
I don't want to know 3 men killed when an artillery round lands. In real life I wouldn't know, so why tell me in the game.
I want the god status toned down. So don't tell me anything I should not know ie stop letting planes spill the beans suddenly just cause the flew by once.
I would like C&C fixed so it is realistic and not an option but mandatory.

Les, come on! Why would you wish to make something mandatory? It's a game after all. If I want to play with C&C Off, (and I do!), what business is it of yours? Having it as an option should make both of us happy. Why do you give a rat's ass about how I want to play the game? Variety/Variation is what makes this game great.

Amen. Or we could fix it so you CAN'T play with it on.

Yep, that would be very cool. I use a second monitor for Flight Simming, as well as for use in graphics and video editing.

I also would like to see the icons for certain units that were already mentioned changed.

As for the oob's et all... yada, yada, obviously, yada yada
