When it gets past 2020... - Page 4

Once you get to the use of lasers, EMP's and sonic type weapons on the battlefield at this scale I doubt the engine could handle it. At some point you reach the maximum capability of the existing code which numerous generations old in tech years.

My previous post was in jest and sarcasm

. Now I'm serious

.
I do not understand the problem of the game engine. It is obvious that this game is tactical, so that guns are more or less conventional. If you continue to update the database on conventional weapons this game would never end. Or am I wrong?

Sorry but I do not understand the focus of the topic

.
If someone asks for nuclear weapons or strategic missiles I think it is obvious that these weapons are not for this game.
If may be that the problem lies with the compatibility with new operating systems. If that is the problem personally will try to always have an xp. In fact I have xp

and not the scum of windws 7 lol

When it gets past 2020 all the or nearly all, the orbat work will have been done. Do you play SPWW2? World War 2 has been over for 66 years (in Europe at least) and that's still a good game.

Hell, I play Boer War scenarios in Age of Rifles, and that war has been over for more than a hundred years. I can't see that the passing of a year means diddle-um squat in gaming terms.

There are 92 OOBs in the game: many are third world or unpopular countries that have received little attention and would profit from overhauls. Also note that issues dating back to WW2, such as the armor quality of german AFVs, are still being debated decades later: things like the armor of the Abrams won't be publicized for quite a long time.

Not many if any 3rd world countries will get the most advanced MBT's,Abrams,Merkava ect.any time soon in the future, as in this uneasy politcal climate they could very well be used against NATO.
Any Arab nation (pakistan for one) and N.Korea especially!

That's completely besides the point, which is that a lot of minor OOBs are off mark in terms of presence or absence of certain weapons, availability dates, formations etc.
Have you seen the differences between the iraqi OOB of four years ago and the current one? Or how much the north korean one has changed in the last two years? It may well be that a lot of these issues in others OOBs will never be fixed for lack of time. And in 2050 we will be still discussing how much Abrams armor was capable in 1985, just like we are still discussing the metallurgy of King Tiger armor in 1945.

As for the rest Abrams are already assembled in Egypt and have been sold to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. None of which could use them against NATO without magic teleporting.

You might want to check your maps, Pakistan is not an Arab nation and not even located particularly close to them (the closest one seems to be Oman, on the other side of the Gulf of Oman, ie. several hundred kilometers away).

I probably missed it somewhere, but are there plans for a new SPMBT or is the current engine gonna be continuously updated?

I think Andy and Don will update it until they think it's the best that can be done, i've read more than once that they're not starting over.

These games(both WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT) are damn near perfect. The new support for any screen resolution makes this game pure gold. Now no matter what I kind of computer screen I buy I know that can always play WinSPMBT. 2020 is still almost a decade away, so I'm not worried too much.

I admit though, it's awesome play such a wide range countries and play them on the current date. I will still be satisfied if it never goes beyond 2020. IF they DO make a new game, if it doesn't have all the replayability or game options that the current game has for the sake of new graphics and eye candy then I don't want it.
