winSPWW2 v4.0 -- 3 CORRECTED OOBs

I have no file to pass along at this stage as I have no issues so far, but I have fielded a lot of complaints.

Has anyone else had any OOB error / security type error messages when playing PBEM with v4.0 + OOB fix?

We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. I could have just let this pass for a year but decided it was better to fix this. Do people want LaGG-3's carrying 6 1000 pound bombs or worse, a R-Z carrying 24 ??? THAT is why we issued the fix so we wouldn't get complaints of unfair advantage do to a simple OOB error.

Now that everyone is aware there can be conflict I would suggest a notice be posted informing people there have been corrected OOB's posted , with a link to the files, and that players are responsible for letting their opponents know if they have installed it or not.

Also, lets be clear on this, this fixed only involved THREE OOB's not the entire set

Poland
Russia
USMC

If anyone is PBEMing and the battles involve one or more of those OOB's then the players need to ask the simple question.... "have you installed the corrected OOB's ?"

And NO we are not going to furth compound the problem by issuing a 4.01 EXE and a patch for three OOB's
