Combat Routines

[Stirling]

These things aren't new to this version of SP. There have always been combat results that are absurdly unrealistic due to the abstraction of the game (every computer game is an abstraction, at best--even simulations).

I quit playing SPWAW because I got sick and tired of 76mm rounds routinely bouncing off of halftracks. SPMBT and SPWW2 seem to be much better in this respect. If an outcome is especially egregious, I just assume something happened that the UI isn't refined enough to tell me (i.e. a missile was a dud when all the game can tell me is that it didn't penetrate).

Still, there are some results that I just have to hold my nose and try to ignore. Fortunately these are pretty rare.
