Combat Mission BLACK SEA can be pre-ordered now!

[Steiner14]

Modern is not my cup of tea, but disappointing to me is that the old 3.0 engine will be used.

No improvement of the user interface (clickable movment paths)?
No solution to the old bugs (anti-aliasing not working in movie mode, bunkers sinking into terrain mesh)?
No Franko "true combat"-mode?
No AI plan branches?
No 2vs2 PBEM mode?

The progress of the engine has been already extremely slow and now they even release a new family game with an old engine?

Honestly I don't understand why so many CM-players are raving about new vehicles and equipment on their forums, for example the vehicle pack idiocy.
I couldn't care less, because the interesting thing to me is tactics. If it's the tenth variant of a Sherman or StuG I couldn't care less, but that I can use smoke to drive tanks into position and the oponent's vehicle's AI is not paying any increased attention to the smoke areas, I see as important.
Or that I can see the undulations in the terrain where the oponent has placed his fortifications fromt he very beginning.
Or that there is no "true combat" mode which is the only mode that makes playing the AI challenging.
