Yes, I am new. If you had looked at my registration date, you would have seen that.

"junk2drive" meant the overall debate which has been going on for 6 plus years now.

Regarding the armour combat system, SPWaW uses the actual armour thickness when calculating shot penetration, while SPMBT uses armour ratings, if I am not mistaken.

You are mistaken. WinSPMBT uses centimetres of armour not millimeters. That's not in any way a "rating system". Measuring in centemetres accomplishes the same thing as millimetres when the game calculate armour penetration and mixes in the penetration variables. Some people still think having the game report armour and penetration in millimetres is "more accurate" but it's not in game terms.

An option for the C2 system found in SPWaW would be cool, because I like being able to change the combat stance of my troops. For those who don't like it, they could just turn it off.

"Stance" is one of the least requested of the SP3/WaW features. Like " count on the fingers of one hand and have fingeres left over" requests. If your used to it from playing WaW then of course you will miss it but few do and we have no plans to add it.

I enjoy using opfire confirm because it allows me to choose wether to fire or not. Sometimes it is important not to fire yet, because you don't want to give away your position. The "special" and "return" opfires found in SPWaW are also very neat and should be considered for inclusion in SPMBT.

Can the AI use it against a human opponent? No, it cannot. Opfire confirm is a "cheat" against the AI. It puts the computer opponent at a further disadvantage because it does not have that option to exercise. I have tried it and can see why people like it but the fact remains it makes the game easier for the human opponent to beat the AI and that's why it isn't and won't be, included in our games
