Shoot & Scoot

[Jason Petho]

Jason, that is my point too.
But, I've heard nothing but, "we've got to add "realism" to the game. When someone points out that the "realism" is not real you guys make "noise" like it will have to be done for the good of the game.
It's the same as with extreme assault and variable visibility, where I believe that both did not make things more real (yes, in my opinion, I know).

Yes, I know.

I appreciate all the work that the Matrix team has been doing to make the game better. I do not agree that all changes have been better for the game. And, I certainly do not feel that some of the new scenarios that came with version 1.04 were all that good either (yes, in my opinion, I know. And, from more than one scenario designer).

Duly noted.

The same with spotting for artillery. We'll do this all one way for the game engine and disregard what others might say about individual nation's artillery doctrine. The reality of it all would be an implimentation of a system that would not be "real".

I figured I was handling it pretty good... asking the players for opinions, suggestions, even offering a poll if it woud be worthy to put any effort into it.

We did learn from 1.04, or at least I thought we did.

It just lately seems that anyone with a "bubble headed" idea is given serious consideration.

Consideration, sure. Why not?

Does it mean anything that is given consideration will be implemented? No, not at all.

Even when faced with those who do have experience, or knowledge, in those areas. Even when others logically lay out counter arguments to the "different" ideas. Still somewhere along the way I fear those "real" ideas will creep into the game.

As noted above, we are listening.

The game does not need "hammer blows" of fundamental changes that will end up killing it for all but those who are making the changes?

Seems to be going OK thus far.
