Re: More Constructive Crtiticism
And that is one of those things that has been there since SP2, since an ATGM is a weapon, and a cannon is too - but there is no such thing as an ATGM round for a cannon. Cannons have AP, sabot and HEAT.
So in the SP universe each is a distinct weapon and so has a separate weapon slot.
And that is not going to change since its part of the basic SSI Steel Panthers game architecture. Which was designed in the days of DOS and when machines were lucky to have 1MB of RAM (which is likely why things were done the way they were with so many fields being re-used for several things).
And the players know this and happily get by with the SSI method of representing tube launched ATGM. As you can tell from the sheer lack of posts from people clamouring for cannon ATGM rounds to be handled as an ammo type.
Changing the architecture requires a new game engine. Which means a new game.
