What happens in 2025? / new tactics- new technologies

Another reason for the overlarge "boxy" look may be signature reduction (they already have the barrel shrouds) designed to defeat different types of sensors -- if you have a cluttered tank, all the clashing antennas, boxes, etc provide nice high contrast aimpoints for automatic target tracking systems.

[early automatic optical tracking systems from the SA-2 onwards were responsible for the elimination of color insignia and markings from USAF aircraft over the decades]

WinSPWW2 "ends" in 1946 it is still updated and played nearly 80 years later...

WinSPMBT has a while to go yet!

Scorpio is right, the time frame might end in 2025 but like SPWW2 will be played for a long time after.

What about doing something as they have done with certain nations that change flags, aka new governments, so things hit the 2026 mark, new OOBs are in place that pushed out the older Cold War legacy stuff for those nations that are going full bore forward to the new age using that same method like how Rhoodesia's OOB vanishes post 1980 and is replaced with Zimbabwe.

Nothing saying it's an easy or simple idea, just an idea.

Why don't we let Andy and Don say what they will do?

CHATGPT! ..well maybe not. . hopefully the dedicated will remain.

we all want a WinSPMBT with ai Drones connected to Amazon.com and remote MBT's with alien armor alloys.

New stuff just dropped, babe:

Ukrainian military used a UGV and drove it 4 km (2.5 miles) behind enemy lines to deliver a KZ-4 demolition charge to drop a bridge:

The KZ-4 used here as a warhead is designed to disable roads and reinforced concrete structures.

The KZ-4 packs a substantial 49kg of TG-50 explosive (weighing 63kg in total).

It's quite impressive that the UGV managed to drive 4km with that much weight without falling over.

And elsewhere, you have further use of UGVs to deploy TM-62 mines

But what's new is that both sides apparently now are using UAVs to deploy mines from the air silently:

The [RUSSIAN] enemy continues to mine [UKRANIAN] our positions with anti-personnel mines at night using drones 😡

So be careful & watch your step, especially in the morning when you leave your dugout or shelter.

FORTUNATELY it is possible to hit the mute button for this vid..... you WILL want to before the earworm burrows too deep!

I like the idea of Future MBT type of third Steel Panthers game. As in, keeping the WinSPMBT as it is with no new modern add ons, and create an entire new game to be updated (for example starting at date 2025).

That would make things simpler, and possibly even preserve the old WinSPMBT from any possible malfunctioning it can have because of new added features, and only add the new features to entirely new platform, updating it as the time goes on (by whoever is up for that task).

Wanted to post something like that myself. Personally I would fully support a third game like "WinSP2k" or similar.

I would let it start in the year 2000 and have an overlap of the database with WinSPMBT. The new game could have (if possible from the code) new features not available in the older engines to make all this UAV centric warfare possible.
