ORIGINAL: KG Erwin Harlekwin, you have predetermined that no matter what we do, it must be wrong, since you didn't do it yourself. You didn't volunteer to help on the latest updates, yet you love to complain it isn't right, in your view. All of this just invalidates your arguments. You're just like the guy who didn't vote but yet gripes about the choice that was made. You were there, back in "the good old days", and what was right then must be right now. Now, if that's the case, then we should all still be playing with SPWaW 1.0. No, your "go-back to the old way" argument doesn't wash. I'll agree with you on one thing--the so-called "play balance" issue for PBEM play. This is the number one bugaboo in the whole process. I do NOT play SPWaW except vs the AI--now, 8.2 does have improved AI force choices. This is a definite improvement. The OOB team has gone around and around on the Sherman-Panther cost vs effectiveness issue. The final result was weighed for the PBEM players, for better or worse. We're also gone round about the captured T34s, the bazookas vs infantry, the MG track-disabling issue, and a host of other matters. We've gotten these resolved, but of course, not everyone will be happy. You were there, at one time, so you know how these things go. Bryan will be addressing the changes we made very soon. The team exchanged a voluminous amount of research & test material, and we're close to submitting the final results to Matrix. There is much more involved in the 8.2 patch, but I'm not at liberty to discuss that at present. However, despite all the criticisms, justified or not, the suggestions, which we listened to, and the database errors, which we corrected, I will give a kudos to every member of the team. For long-time and new fans of SPWaW, this will indeed be the best OOB set ever offered, naysayers be damned. We will stand by our work, and will respond to your comments once they are publically released. quote:

For long-time and ne so essentially, rather than answer why "some pigs are more equal than others" you feel it better to attack the fact that I understood better than you can hope to the perils of fanboyhood? Your choice......but oddly KG we had full disclosure of sources and did not casually dismiss any critique out of hand...must be a new fangled notions trumping old outdated instructions. I'll ask again.....why did the USMC OOB get "special preference" for ex-TO&E mission outlays? What were the universal standards applied to requirements for inclusion in the OOBs? I mean hey guy it is your show? but like I posted elsewhere on this site..... why not a simple proof, and move on to CL/CA....you can try to morph this into a total "nyet" on my part to the new 8.2 oobs until you are blue in the face it does not hold water..... the only thing I say 'nyet' to out of hand is total arbitrariness..... having individual benchmarks for what is being represented inthe OOBs leads to games becoming apples and oranges..... or do all of the infantry units now get multiple weapon volleys?
