I think Command PE still runs on the CMNAO engine. So parts of it are fairly behind CMO. It also looks like CMO gets updated quite a bit more frequently than CPE. How often should CMO be updated to make people feel like the work they put into it is worth it? It had a fairly significant update about four months ago, including a big database update. Should they do that every other month? I'm just curious what is worth the work that some players are putting into it. And I agree on the CPE money the devs get is a good thing for us players. Its the same reason I hold no grudges against eSim and Steel Beasts. The players get whipped around based on government contracts and needs, but it funds continued development. This game has been out for almost eight years and I think there have been only two updates that required any payment. And required is probably not the right word. Those updates were for a few of the features from CoW in CMNAO and then the upgrade to CMO. And the CoW features got added into the upgrade for CMO. Every other database update and functional addition has been free. The scope of those changes are in the back of the manual. And they put out a beta to address any new issues about every month or two. So they announce an upgrade for their military customers and instead of a congrats or great job, they get crapped on for not bringing new features into the game fast enough. Games like Combat Mission and Steel Beasts take literally years to put out fixes and they charge for any updates. So I'm a little lost on where the hate comes from. btw, this type of announcement isn't new, they have done it on CPE updates before. Why are people who've been on the forum for years suddenly unaware of that?
