RE: 320mm rocket carrying pioneers
I just add it into the pre-game negotiation.
It's a banned unit IMO. Totally unrealistic.
There are plenty of other Pioneer and Engineer units that can be used instead.
They can all deal with mines and obstacles, and will have all sorts of flame throwers (the non-rocket kind) and satchel charges etc. and will do the required job just fine.
At this point all I want SPCAMO to do is fix the bloody Op-fire filter.
Screwing that up ion the last patch and then refusing to fix it straight away is bad form IMO.
That's a crucial tool for playing PBEM and against the AI too I would imagine.
I do my best to back those guys up, always have since before i used to game test for them back in the day...just ask Weasel! But it's getting harder and harder these days.
I have also given up trying to deal with them direct. All I get is angry old man responses "Get off my lawn!", It's a bit sad as I have championed this game for near 20 years and it's a great game, mostly it gets better and better.
I appreciate all the work Andy and Don have done, and all the other testers too, but sometimes it feels like the PBEM guys have become the enemy.
IMHO PBEM should be the pinnacle of this games achievements.
Playing against the AI is just practice for PBEM as far as I see it.
Yet we seem to be treated as 2nd class citizens. It's quite sad.
