Hey, sorry Elvis. Gotta let you know, he thinks different than you. And he is pretty much full of it.

I would have tore Steve a new as#hole in that thread. He can not read a drawing. He is a mathematical imbecile.The better, MUCH better, way to go about it is seen in this and many other threads. Someone finds what he believes to be a problem, he makes a case for it, others weigh in, a debate occurs, new facts/perspectives are introduced, the debate refines and until resolution. At which point the developer (in this case us) implements a fix to address the actual problem so that all customers get the correct fix to the correct problem. The one downside of this is the developer has to be willing and interested to make such fixes. Since we have a long history of being both willing and interested in getting things right, this method works fine for Combat Mission. Not so much for others
More and more frequently such debates have been resolved to show a major flaw in the original position and therefore no changes are needed. That's because the game system and the data within has had a chance to be pounded on by thousands of people over many years. Obvious problems have been long since discovered. But occasionally something does happen which causes us to implement a change or at least reexamine what we're doing. This is an example of that.
Having said that, this case also shows something that is fairly frequent. The Skwabie did apparently find something that needs attention, but the diagnosis was mostly flawed. Meaning, he made some good observations that appear to have merit, however his original position was based on some flawed understandings of both the real life tank and how Combat Mission works. Which is OK because we understand how the game works and therefore if someone can show us an end result that doesn't make sense we have the knowledge necessary to trace where the problem comes from. There's no need for end user forensics to be accurate.
