The PATCH! What do you think?

If you can recreate the situation where your game crashed make a save and attach it to your post.

As for the T-90+ vs M1A2's there was nothing done to the T-90's that would make them a lesser tank that before and all that was done to the M1A2's was a trifling gun accuracy increase and cost increases for high tech equipment. The T-90 was not downgraded so I really do not understand how you could see that big a change in the game. Does anyone else see this?

Nope, Don.

The 2.0 patch, as you stated, only dealt with the accuracy
problem that the 120mm L/44 smoothbore tank guns and similar ones had when compared to *older* Soviet tanks...

A little comment on this "Western vs. Eastern" equipment issue:

WinSPMBT is clearly optimized for an even game balance, nobody can argue about that. For instance, as Don wrote, that was the reason of the cost increases for the higher end equipment. Of course, it's impossible to satisfy everybody's subjective feelings on comparisons such as "M1A2 vs. T-90+"...

In the real world, pound for pound, Western tanks *are* superior to Eastern tanks (regardless of individual tastes). They *were designed to be so*, as it was expected they would have to deal with a much superior number of enemy tanks... Eastern tanks *were designed to be cheaper*, and to be used in great numbers.

That said, it's plainly inadequate to compare WinSPMBT to "Shoot Em Up Video Games" (to put it mildly)...

Don, congratulations on a most terrific job - WinSPMBT 2.0 ROCKS!

EDIT: I set up an hypotetical tank battle between the US and Russia, timeframe year 2000. T-90+, and T-80UM1 Bars vs. M1A2 Abrams. The T-80UM1 Bars tanks (not the T-90+) took various direct hits at 1,500 meters from the M1A2, with no damage to them (one took FOUR consecutive rounds)...
Likewise, the T-90+... These can even render the TOW 2B ATGM innefective, with their advanced ERA...
