Don,
I remember quite a few months before asking for the first time for tandem HEAT warheads. Andy replied that the code was "such a spaghetti" that it was next to impossible to create a new weapon class and that the lack of difference between the single and tandem in RPGs as modelled in the game was to be lived by. This we did quite well. And you came up with V3 modelling this difference, even introducing for tank guns.
You've been introducing really many improvements since 1996. May be the next step is having the code "tweaked" to handle more than 256 different weapons, the way it handles way over 256 different units. I'm no programmer and have no hint on the difficulties that are to be faced. But what I'm slowly getting used to, and it is your fault after all
, is that reading a "impossible" in your replies means "not yet".
Cheers.
