OK Dimitry, how about this. The upgrade to winSPMBTv3 is all the major coding to MBT we are doing this year. The V3.5 patch that will be released next month has a few code changes for issues we discovered and dealt with while working on WinSPww2v2 but that is all and we will not be adding anything further. Most of what makes up V3.5 is OOB corrections and Icon upgrades and originally neither Andy nor I were even going to start THINKING about that until the fall but you and everyone else are getting it early and then we are both taking time off

Andy and I are the ones you have to convince and I'm telling you that even if you did convince us ( you haven't BTW ) we STILL wouldn't be changing the game code any more than we already have. However your "proof"... "veryfying it by links and examples" consists of one link that provides an example of how specialized Bispectral smoke blocks lasers RF and another that ONLY says... "the laser range finder shall be appropriately degraded due to smoke" but nowhere is there ANYTHING to suggest just what "appropriately" is supposed to represent. The only percentages that have been discussed are the ones YOU presented based on assumptions. No hard evidence at all. Just what *you* think might be appropriate. Right now, *WE* think that the thick smoke that blocks LOS with TI and therefore any range finding is "appropriate" for a game of this scale and we don't have to "prove" anything. YOU are the one with the issues with the way it works now. "We" are quite happy with the way it works now

(QUOTE) "I just think that 50%-60% accuracy reduce will be enough."

But then... you also thought at the start that...

(QUOTE) " in the game - vehicles with thermal imagers are indifferent to smoke.

and that was dead wrong. They are not "indifferent" to smoke if you put down enough smoke and if you cannot see it you cannot lase it and that's the way the game works
