What about both games made into one, WinSPWW2, and WinSPMBT, in one game?

What do you say?

Eh... what's a logic in there? Aren't they good games as they are now? Separate as MBT/WW2. It's more clearer to play which era (WW2/post-WW2) you want...

I don't see what this could achieve, there has even been discussion about splitting the "modern" era...

To do this it would require a *total* rewrite of the game engine, or at least a lot of coding.

Why?

There are only 249 weapons slots; and they're pretty much full in certain OOBs (German WW2 OOB, MBT US and Russian OOBs).

Theoretically, it's possible to increase this to 999 weapon slots; but AFAIK, it was tried experimentally, and it broke a lot of code in the game all over the place -- those are my recollections from when this was explained years ago.

What would be the gain? The code with new functionality or fixes is merged to both games at once, and the change would require a lot of hard work with revision of OOB functionality.
