Improvement proposal I - OP fire draining

[Thexder]

I have to say that I'm with Artur on this one. It's annoying to play against a player that drains the OP-fire with jeeps or cheap APC's. Although most players wont do this (well, maybe they regard it unchivalry) and this can be countered by, for example, reducing the amount of jeeps etc. But the fact that these kind of rules must be made in order to achieve the best possible gaming experience is telling that there's something wrong.

If its achievable within the code, I would gladly accept that one could have the option of setting units to fire only some unit classes ignoring others. This could be combined by some kind of distance option within which the unit would fire anything that moves. These options would greatly improve the use of especially tanks and ATGM's. It would also be nice to use it with infantry that has AT-weapons.

As for being "unrealistic", this is not true. It's only realistic that wellhidden tank doesn't waste the element of surprise to a worthless jeep. Of course, if it's possible in code, some randomness can be added to simulate cracking nerves etc. But all in all the "Commander God" -element of the game is in itself so unrealistic that it's useless to even try to make the game one to one to real life. And the arguments that suggests that current situation is only realistic are, IMHO, pretty weird.

WinSPMBT is a great game and with honest (chivalrous) opponents this problem is much smaller than it is against the opponents whose only goal is to win without any style. But even so the suggestion that Artur made has my support.

Cheers,
