OK dmnt, but in my mind it goes back to what I respectfully suggested to another forum member. The point is, after all, to play Steel Panthers. Getting bogged down with minutiae like special weapons slots, "frozen" turrets and such that hardly (if at all) affect gameplay doesn't have any practical value.

While I won't presume to speak for them, it seems to me that Don and Andy don't pretend that SP is a perfectly accurate representation of combat. (It's doubtful that anything besides the real thing ever will.) What they've given us is a remarkably lifelike facsimile thereof, which we may use for pleasure, analysis, competition, or whatever. While suggestions have their place, it strikes me as impertinent--if not downright rude--to badger the designers incessantly about this or that minor feature that strikes one's fancy.

Agreed, best be polite. On the other hand, how to tell the forum equivalent of a barfly that most of us aren't terribly interested in his picayune concerns?
