As for game improvements of the attack helos, I would like to be able to have the game return the hit percentage of the weapon selected instead of the weapon in slot #1. With the attack helos, inactivating all weapons save the missiles, the game returns the hit chance of weapon slot #1, normally the cannon.

I am not sure how it could be done, however, selecting weapons using the "W" key maybe a start. When a weapon in selected using that key, the game will return the selected weapon's hit percentage to target. This saves the player from having to calculate using pencil and paper the hit percentage taken as a ratio of weapons max range and range to target.

??

Those calcs are and will remain a general estimation of overall hit chance to give the player a rough idea if they are wasting their shots or if there is some chance of a hit and you could get a report back of 100% but that is only based on the targeting unit---it does not take into account what the target might do based on it's experience, morale, damage etc etc....that isn't taken into account until the shot is fired.

I never take it at face value, in it's current state as a guideline it works fine.

I like using it mostly with less experienced tank/or any other anti tank component. Reason for this is simple, I want to build up those units experience level as fast as possible, especially for a previously badly damaged unit/or a replacement to one of my core units. The driver here for me is the length of my campaigns as discussed already. I will use my more experienced core units to deal the bigger threat T-80's lurking amongst the T-55's. It's simply an aid that I'm not totally bound by as each situation is different, but still probably use around ~75% of the time for the above situation. I find if my core units are intact it's not as big a deal but, either way, I find little to no difference in time savings maybe because like I play Chess, I'm looking 2-4 moves ahead. And I like "overlapping" my units during the initial deployment phase for the above stated purpose and use as well.

I guess that makes me a "technical" player going back to my many years of die cut board playing wargames from Avalon Hill and SPI mostly I guess with many over nighters included. Couple of my favorites from SPI...

I used to have 'Air Assault on Crete' when I was at school, by Avalon Hill (published late 1970's?)If I remember rightly it had a invasion of Malta game too. If only I knew then what I know now...
