We had nothing to do with WaW.

The problems we have had in the past working with multiple contributors revolved around not having any really effective way to ensure the weapon and unit databases for each nation matched what other nations used and that's how we ended up with weapons and units that should have been the same all across the board having different values because so many people were working on them. ( and there will always be simple typos ) We now have software that allows us to check across all the OOB's and since only two of us are making any changes now we ensure that in the event a major change is done we try to ensure it's done for all units concerned but there's still the problem with the same weapon or vehicle being named different ways in different OOB's and knowing what problems to ask the software to look for.

The main problem we inherited with SP was each nation having it's own weapons database instead of one central weapons database that every OOB could draw from. That would eliminate the need to have 10 of the same weapon that may have two of three different stats becasue different OOB designers had their own ideas on what they should have been.

For MBT especially we rarely have the time to look for specific problems as the to-do list of reported problems ends up at 80+ pages but we are making headway in that regard as every release we end up focusing on various problem reported in one OOB then start cross checking other units or weapons that are similar
