Thank you for your replys
Zovs66, It is nor a crime to write a long coherent detailed helpful post, but thats whats being said here, dont fall for it. My posts are exactly about errors in the OOBs and so its pretty hard not to use the word Error, again I remind you no one disputes that the errors I've identified are not correctly stated. I agree that it is the best game, Ive said so myself, otherwise why would I bother? you think its fun to read the angry replies I get? Its not about my language or shouldnt be, it should be about the errors I am identifying. I would point out to you that it is impossible for the community to give me an "honest answer" because my threads are shut down almost immediately, and I wonder why, isnt this forum for discussion? I never said the game is "broken and no good",Nor do I ignore their input. However the game is in fact full of errors, my last three posts in the TOE forum prove it. There are plenty of people here singing praises is it too much for just one person to be pointing out the errors in the OOBs, really!?

The point I am making is I don't know whats considered extreme or not. OK so looking at my ammunition post, sure who cares if a particular Italian feild peice has HEAT or not, but when 32 Italian feild peices are all missing their HEAT ammunition maybe that is exrtreme? only Don can judge, not me, so all I do is just identify the errors in the game and what Don does about that is up to him. I dont pretend to be able to identify Key Items either I just leave it up to Don. And I still think that removing the errors Identified in the OOBs qualifies as moving the game forward surely you dont disagree with that? Don't forget IMP I found and got two PBEM cheats removed from the game.

Please dont just say my errors are plainly wrong. Please tell me which errors are plainly wrong then we might be able to work something out. This is not "nitpicking" they are genuine errors, many are clearly extreme, and many can be easily fixed. The fact that my posts are pretty much immediatly shut down suggests to me that perhaps I am very right in what I say and a closed thread is a very good way of not facing up to that.
Take snipers as an example, putting the changes I suggest into place would easily qualify as extreme, the sniper is the most powerful infantry unit, better than a HMG, everyone gets them now, but if they are removed from the countries that didnt have them then thats a big change and a big disadvantage for those countries.

I can tell the designers how to implemant the sniper changes without buggering up every scenario in the game, but they have closed the thread. Would you like to hear how it can be done? anyone interested?

Without wishing to get into a protracted argument - I don't think that a sniper is the most "powerful infantry unit". A HMG has greater range, a higher HE kill and area effect... A HMG team is also more robust (if a little easier to find) and capable of creating a "beaten zone". The sniper is a very rare asset and infrequently crops up in games where a semblance of historical force composition is used.

The way snipers work currently is perfectly fine within the concept of the GAME. Your 10 levels of sniper was an over complication (and many OoBs don't have the room!). You also don't seem to grasp the knock on effect of changing weapons and units to EVERY scenario and the enormous amount of work and checking that would entail.

Simply making your point by saying something like " I believe x can be better simulated by.." rather than " X is wrong" can go a long way...
