Okay, don't yell at me guys. I just thought of some things that would love to see in a future update.

1. Some kind of M1A2 hybrid with a hunter-killer secondary infrared sight for the TC.

2. 3D interior for M1A1 gunner with touchable panels for ammunition selection.

3. 3D interior gun animation.

4. MPAT audible acknowledgement

5. Some US Army command vehicles and antennaed tent complexes.

6. Contrastable FLIR controls for better visibility.

7. Loaders MG that works.

8. Reloadable smoke grenades.

9. Moving wheel suspension (does NOT have to be 100% realistic... close enough is fine with me).

10. Faster Immediate Suppression Arty.

11. More arty patterns

12. Crewable TOW Humvee

13. Smarter M901 crews.

14. Smarter TC in target prioritizing.

Don't know how. I thought it was going to be implemented with the CV90 update.

Ok, what is the big deal about a loader's 240 that works? What are you going to do with it? :)

That's a good list, all or any of which would make me happy.

Regarding the loader's gun? So we can "shoot 'em up" from atop the turret - HMMWV/.50 style. Which also means more guns can be more fun.

Hand-cranking the TC's .50 in the vertical axis can be slow - slewing the loader's MG, as we currently do now with the HMMWV/M113/ASLAV-PC .50 can be much faster once you get the hang of it.

It can mean the difference between taking an RPG or not in my experience with SB Pro PE.

Anyway, that's what I would do with the loader's 240. Plus, if I were on the loader's 240, wouldn't the AI TC continue to also use the .50? I guess we'd get even more fire on enemy dismounts if this were the case.

It's a menu item from the same place that you reload KE, HEAT, etc.

16. 3d interiors for the other Leopard models.

17. Distructable buildings.

Besides use it as an extra way to kill infantry on my flank?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?!"

The primary armor weapon used in urban environments IS the machine gun.

plus....

it would be really cool.
LOL!!

The technical problem with the loader MG is that it is a new crew station.

That's a whole lot of new programming overhead to implement.

That effectively makes it last on the list to get done - you'd see crewable T72 long before, because it is "just" another instance of a tank object with different parameters.

I downloaded and updated to the 2.73 version of the sim... still don't see the ability to oad smoke grenades. What are you guys talking about? Am I missing something?

At the bottom of your screen there is a set of icons, wich show a representation of your platoon. You can click on those and "Jump to" but you can also click on those and give them a reload order, including smoke. Hope this helps.

I wanted to add :
#32 a way to add a specific skin for an unit (different skins for a same kind of tanks). in the same way, the tank the player can chose the skin he wants
#33 being able to give a name for a specific unit (instead of "11/A is under fire", we would get "BlackDeath is under fire").
