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.

"we" are not thinking that far ahead ATM.

Well, I think something needs to be done, because both Steel Panthers titles combined together include all, or almost all the wars fought from 1930 to the near future. If WinSPMBT isn't updated or replaced by a new Steel Panthers title, Steel Panthers just won't be the great wargaming system that it is today. It will probably fade away and become one of those games we played "back in the day".

1911 to present (I am pretty sure I designed a 1911 scenario, for sure a 1914 one). It won’t fade away trust me.

I played the "Broken Arrow" demo and was impressed by it's ability to model vehicles and weapons systems. BUT since it was a demo there were several issues with the weapons systems (types and numbers) the USMC fielded.

My major ... and it is MAJOR ... problem is that it's an RTS.

If you're expected to command/fight a company/battalion/brigade size formation I DEMAND the game be turn based. Because you can't see and be everywhere at once.

So while I'll probably buy/play "Broken Arrow" it can never replace WinSPMBT.
