RE: The Russian halftrack debate
I think the new "hidden ATR feature" makes the Soviet ATR platoons priceless.
It's the only unit, along with the Allied Piat Squads, that can even create a bit of parity with all those pesky German ATR squads that have the same ability to spot and direct artillery, as the Allied ones do?
Though the German ATR's sure carry a heck of a bit more wallop?

The Soviet ATR platoons were still mobilized until the end of the war. They were integral parts of every Army formation. Taking them away or penalizing them more than the other countries ATR units would not be a good start. They are manpower that was there, for those who like realism. They are also very good at taking out lightly armored vehicles. And, they can tie up the enemy in it's advance.

What do you want to do, write the game developers and have them add a burst of "realism" by taking away the spotting abilities of all ATR units?
I'm for that.

Let's just "nit pick" every thing that we personally don't like about the game and get it to be so "real" that we all just stop playing it altogether?
