Anybody else ever feel this way?

Weapon effectiveness is my major gripe with SB. Oh I love the series but no longer play it because certain mechanics juts don't work well and can end up being a game breaker for me. Weapon effectiveness is one. A game at this scale with individual weapons and soldiers should have proper ammo counts and be able to set ROF and have ammo dumps,ammo carriers and extra ammo in halftracks etc. AT the moment an MG42 can end up being a pea shooter because it is at half effectiveness which is supposed to signify ammo loss...just doesn't work well.

Sad really. If JT invested just abit..got rid of effectiveness..and brought in proper ammo count and RoF settings, plus added a wounded soldier mechanic, multi level buildings and enhance armour a touch the game would be the greatest Squad level game made on the PC and would be very very hard to beat.

At the moment though the effectiveness mechanic is it's biggest failing and in the end I became to frustrated. If I knew SB was going to have some significant investment in the future it wouldn't be too bad..but that is never going to be the case. That fact alone makes the whole thing even more frustrating because the game is so near to perfect yet falls down badly on this point.
