What Changes in the CD Version

I didnt fired at them, it is just target lock propability. I use that metod becouse there are some other things that interfere with fire propability. Vision was set to 80, to have clear 4000m field of view

FC + stabilizers enter into the equations a bit more when targeting moving targets. With a stationary firer and a stationary target you could almost bore sight most guns. FC acts a little like a rangefinder, and also allows for better shooting on moving targets.

Accuracy is only the *basic* starting point. You need to take Stab, RF, FC, and crew Exp into account, plus target size, move status, own move status, own suppression state,target dug in or hull down, target in woods etc. etc. etc.

However Andy and I are experimenting with a code change that should boost the tanks with higher FC and RF so that they are a bit more likely gain more to-hit % within a three shot average than the EXE you have now

Now THAT is interesting!

Thank you!

I have 2 questions:

1st: Could there be an online game feature in WinSPMBT like there is in SpWaW?

2nd: When loading units into vehicles the screen does not allow scrolling. This coplicates loading especially on deployment phase. Could the scrolling be enabled?

*****There are no plans to do that at this time

If you click on the mini map you can move to any point on the map that way and it's generally a lot quicker than scrolling. However, scrolling did work while loading in the past so we'll investigate this

Now fixed. When the patch is released that screen will scroll

Don and Andy,

I would like to thank you for listening to us and altering the code to give the MBT's with better FC and RF more hit to kill probability. I really think that this is the kind of attitude that makes the difference.

There is another thing that I discovered we (specially the scenario/campaign designers) really need, and it is the capability of changing the experience, moral, armor, infantry and artillery levels of all units of a given scenario. It's really a pain to go from unit A0 to the last unit of a scenario changing each value for every unit, uint leader, and formation leader.

The clone feature is really great, but it is only related to the hardware items such as weapon ammo modification. Perhaps it could also include the other values also, but what I would like to suggest is an application like the WAWed that Fred Chlanda developed for SPWAW. That, if possible in any way, would be a most useful tool.

Again, thank you guys for a fantastic game. I really love WinSPMBT and apologize for my rants on the accuracy issue, but please understand that my previous experience with game developers was not exactly with the kind of people that actually listen to us and (this is too good to be true...) bother to alter the code to accommodate our needs.

Finally, I want to say that the Armorsite is at your disposal, if there is anything you want me to do to help your efforts (besides buying the CD, which I already did) via my web site, just drop me a note : fprado@fprado.com.

Well, this is it.

Best regards,

Fabio Prado

Would it be possible to make the arrow keys able to scroll the map?

I'm just so used to it from other games.
