Default Re: Rarity suggestion

This is not going to happen for two very important reasons

1- The game as it's set up now allows a great deal of flexibility. If you want to buy more tanks for a nation that they possibly could in reality and play a game, you can. It's your choice. Or, if you are that interested in reality you can do the research and only buy what would be fielded by that nation and no more but the choice is yours. There are very few people who would appreciate a game "nanny". The AI already has one to a certain degree. If the second digit in the radio code is 1 the vehicle is rarely picked but a human player can pick as many as he wants. I support that freedom of choice, anyone wanting to put their own restrictions on either in a generated battle or PBEM can do so

2- Even if I did support the idea of some kind of rarity code that would restrict the number of a particular unit based on how many they may have ( and that would always be a moving target with current weapons systems which would require constant updating ) there are currently 34,581 units represented in all the OOB's in MBT ( and another 12006 in SPWW2 ) and there is NO WAY anyone is going to go through 46587 OOB entries adding another rarity code that most people would scream about anyway because we stopped them from buying that extra company of tanks because "we" say they shouldn't have any more. As well, none of that takes into account the reams of code that would need to be written to accomodate this.

So..no. This is not ever going to happen
