Rainer, has BlackBean though of ways to encourage younger gamers who dont have the trackheads passion for WW2 AFV sims, to play this game? I know it sounds strange, but we are a small bread of warriors and it would be nice to inject new blood into this type of game. Also it may help sales and thus encourage more sims. My only suggestion is to make real effort with the MP game. I was for short time involved with RO . Alot of younger players were exposed to the thrill ( if somewhat less sim like) of Tank v Tank. In the end we were creating Tank only Maps with little or no infantry. These became very popular and even to the point where we would take on mass assults of AI AFV's versus Players with a command structure and voice over IP commands. Also Player Versus PLayer. Yes agreed RO was limited and not at all a "SIM" but it was excellent fun and the 2 servers we rented for the custom maps where always full.
All Im saying is that if you can tweak the MP game in such away that you dont have to read enless manuals to play or know 50 key combo's to get the tank to go backwards.. then those players of online shoot 'um' up/ sims as in R0 may wnat to take the step to a game like your team are producing.
