Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !

Probably I was mistaken about SAM "Patriot", but not about other modern SAM.

We have a reserve officer of air defence, it speaks that SAM "Patriot" shoots one rocket on one target.

Marek_Tucan,

this is slightly off topic but a problem that always bothered me... I saw that you posted above that the problem of nations always using the same side of the map in specific country pairings can be circumvented by using the allied puchase option...

Sounds good - however, I guess that means the experience + morale ratings of the 'master' nation apply to the allied nation as well - therefore, a good solution, I never thought of it - as long as you consider to manually adjust these ratings appropriately. But in the preferences options, this is - as I understand it - summarized under the option 'troop quality' and cannot be adjusted individually - am I right?

Other downsides, I guess, would be that the leader names don't change, etc.

The side of the map does not matter in the slightest really as there is no indication of North on the maps at all. There are 4 directions - top, left, right, and bottom. Where north is, you can decide for yourself (some scenario designers have indicated it with a text marker, for example).

Therefore, one side is set up along one edge, and the other on the opposite. Just like a tabletop wargame - you have your side of the table and your opponent the other.

As to Allied forces - please read up on the use of the "Captured" option in the game help. Try a purchase using both allied and captured (With ID tags on to help the experiment) and examine the leader names and ratings.


Cheers

It is necessary to increase quantity of letters in a line of the name units.
Now often there is no place for a writing of the full name units.
For example, Mi-28N " Night Hunter " (the name of the Russian manufacturer new attack the helicopter).
It is necessary not only Russian, and all.

It is desirable that machine guns in section shot on greater range, as at realities (now range MG in infantry section = 12 hex).

Longer unit or weapon names will not happen. Legacy game code limitation.

I disagree. 12 hexes is 600meters in real life. 600meters is a long range for open sights in non-tripod mounted weapons. Our PKM SAW seldom shot over 500meters with any accuracy at normal, half upper torso sized targets. With rifles, under simulated combat, so no soft cushions and clear lines of fire, it was very difficult to shoot with any accuracy past 300meters. So I think 400m for rifles and 600m for SAWs is the upper limit of effective fire.
