Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !
A small but worth mentioning thing would be incorporating at least one of the icons made for the S-300 SAM family in the standard game inventory. The SA-2 or whatever is used in its place does not do it justice.

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !
Don't have all the posts read as there's too much stuff there, but having an individual "vision" rating for each weapon would be fantastic. Maybe it's hard/impossible to do... hopefully not.
As it's now, a unit that has TI equipment can fire all its weapons using the TI. As an example during night when Leo 2 gunner fire his L44 and MG3 using TIS, the loader will not fire his MG3 accurately into the darkness because he has no TIS in his weapon. And the gunner won't waste time and energy into "leading" the loaders fire into the target... Same with a recce section with a handheld Thermal Imager - using that the section can see in the dark - but not fire their weapons accurately, if they got image intensifiers on their rifles, as the TI is not a sight, just like a guy with binoculars is not a sniper. Mainly because a unit has one TI rating for all weapons, it's now an über unit. Using the recce section as an example, having section visibility as 40 (TI) the unit can do its work, recon, even in the lowest visibilty. But the section's Assault Rifle has vision of 15 (II sight) which enables him to fire only 15 hexes. And as the M72 LAW has no night sight, it means the LAW cannot fire more than the vision setting currently (which can be less than LAW effective range). Zip |

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !
There is NO WAY you will see individual "vision" ratings for each weapon without tearing the entire game code apart and starting over.
IF we were to do that then all development of these games would cease, all support for the existing games would end and maybe in 5 years you would see another game but there wouldn't be anything "free" about it and it wouldn't really look anything like what we have now We are at the stage of game development where many "ideas" on now to make the game "better" would mean tossing out hugh chunks of code and starting over. I can tell you this..... everytime we make a change to this code there are always knock off effects in areas we didn't expect partly because of the complexity of the code and partly because it has been cobbled together over 10+ years and it does things now people only dreamt about 10 years ago . However, feel free to continue bringing up new ideas. Who knows...... one of them might actually be doable http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Don |

To make possible addition of the sounds in WinSP.
But at game with "Full Security" there would be no prevention about broken ООВ. |
Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !
You might want to try explaining this again. IF you modify OOB's in any way and play full security PBEM you will get a game failure. IF you modify the sound files alone there will not be a game failure as long as the OOB's themselves are not modified IF you are suggesting we allow sound mods to the OOB's that don't trip the PBEM security that is not possible.

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !
If to replace sounds in folder WinSP-> Game Data-> Sounds.
It will not be failure game at " Full Securiy "? I guess, that the answer will be - YES. |
Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !
Just a little excript from the US Army manual on Snipers: TO&E for standard 2 Man Sniper Team from FM 23-10 Sniper Training Manual
Sniper 1 M24 Sniper Rifle w/100 rounds 1 M9 9mm pistol w/45 rounds 8 Grenades (Urban Ops) 1 M18A1 Claymore Mine Observer 1 M16A1/A2 + M203 with Scope W/ 210+ rounds of 5.56mm and 9 40mm GL rounds. M9 9mm Pistol 8 Grenades (Urban Ops) I recommend the following layout for a two man team: W1 None W2 Sniper Rifle W3 M16 or M4 W4 M203 or Hand Grenades I recommend the following layout for a three man team (Mentioned in the Battalion Field Manual FM 3-31-20): W1 M16 or M4 W2 Sniper Rifle W3 M203 W4 Claymore or Hand Grenades Well thats all I really have to contribute on the subject. Let me know if you want the manuals for refrence and can't find them online. |

OK ? You can change the sounds that play in the game all you want and not have a secure PBEM failure unless you make changes to the game OOB's. I explained this in the last post on this subject. The sounds themselves are just WAV's and the game doesn't really care which sound you have in the sound folder. The security only cares about altered OOB's. Don |
