However Andy and I are experimenting with a code change that should boost the tanks with higher FC and RF so that they are a bit more likely gain more to-hit % within a three shot average than the EXE you have now

Don

Now THAT is interesting!

Thank you!

I have 2 questions:

1st: Could there be an online game feature in WinSPMBT like there is in SpWaW?

2nd: When loading units into vehicles the screen does not allow scrolling. This coplicates loading especially on deployment phase. Could the scrolling be enabled?

*****There are no plans to do that at this time

If you click on the mini map you can move to any point on the map that way and it's generally a lot quicker than scrolling. However, scrolling did work while loading in the past so we'll investigate this

Now fixed. When the patch is released that screen will scroll

Don and Andy,

I would like to thank you for listening to us and altering the code to give the MBT's with better FC and RF more hit to kill probability. I really think that this is the kind of attitude that makes the difference.

There is another thing that I discovered we (specially the scenario/campaign designers) really need, and it is the capability of changing the experience, moral, armor, infantry and artillery levels of all units of a given scenario. It's really a pain to go from unit A0 to the last unit of a scenario changing each value for every unit, uint leader, and formation leader.

The clone feature is really great, but it is only related to the hardware items such as weapon ammo modification. Perhaps it could also include the other values also, but what I would like to suggest is an application like the WAWed that Fred Chlanda developed for SPWAW. That, if possible in any way, would be a most useful tool.

Again, thank you guys for a fantastic game. I really love WinSPMBT and apologize for my rants on the accuracy issue, but please understand that my previous experience with game developers was not exactly with the kind of people that actually listen to us and (this is too good to be true...) bother to alter the code to accommodate our needs.

Finally, I want to say that the Armorsite is at your disposal, if there is anything you want me to do to help your efforts (besides buying the CD, which I already did) via my web site, just drop me a note : fprado@fprado.com.

Well, this is it.

Best regards,

Fabio Prado

Would it be possible to make the arrow keys able to scroll the map?

I'm just so used to it from other games.

OK, you've got it.

51) The game maps can now be scrolled in all directions using the up, down, left and right arrow keys. If accessed from the numeric keyboard Numlock must be OFF

If we get a complaint or concern that we consider valid we will deal with it but only if we consider it valid. We are not changing anything we feel changes things in ways we disagree with or "dumbs down" the game at all. FC and RF accuracy has been tweaked slightly and we are looking at a couple of issues involving high vision number spotting ATM. All combine, ever so slightly, to fine tune accuracy for the "high end" equipment

If you know about WAWed then you also know there is a WW2ed. if you ask Fred nicely maybe he'll build you a winMBTed

Actually you may be able to use WW2ed with WinSPMBT. I just tried to modify moral and experience in winspmbt with ww2ed and it *appears* to work. This is NOT a full recomendation. You would need to do some SERIOUS testing with WW2ed before issuing a scenario altered by it but it appears to do what you want it to do. You may still want to contact Fred for a proper version built for winspmbt
