--- Quote from: Ssnake ---Steel Beasts explicitly does not simulate night combat to a degree that we would consider it adequate. We do have day/night cycles, and there's some approximation in place for scenarios starting at dawn or to be completed by dusk. But we never claimed that all vehicles would behave adequately at full night conditions because a lot of other stuff would need to be in place, like illumination fire missions, flare traps, flare guns, active searchlights (NIR and white light), and the associated AI. In fact, when we introduced day/night cycles in version 3.0 and 4.0, I explicitly pointed out such limitations. Guess it's about time to remind everybody about this.
I wouldn't mind at all to see all such elements in place one day, but that will require a new render and simulation engine.

--- Quote from: Ssnake ---Well, the decision to develop a new render and simulation engine has been made a good while ago, for good reasons (and night combat capability was not the center of our justification for that approach). Still, if we're doing this anyway we might just as well attempt to make things pretty and add more functionality. :)

--- Quote from: Ssnake ---Improvements of AI and user interface are definitely on the agenda for our future V5 development. Suppressing on the move is definitely desirable.

--- Quote from: Ssnake ---No, version 5 is still a good distance out. But given that there's been an unbroken rythm of a three-year release cycle since version 3.0 (2013; 2016 (4.0), 2019 (4.1), 2022 (4.3)), the assumption that there might be a version 4.4 or 4.5 in 2025 is not entirely unfounded. I also wouldn't rule out a 4.7 and 4.9 PE release, as a PE 5.x release can only happen after all version 4 content has been converted (you wouldn't want to give up on established (major) features, I suppose, though some functional loss might be tolerable if restored later).
For our military customers, we'll follow a hybrid transitional strategy where they will use late version 4 and early version 5 applications in a mixed environment where V5 gradually replaces V4 usage as one by one the existing features get migrated (or new applications get added).

--- Quote from: TSe419E ---The two things I wish would happen sooner rather than later is to let there be platoon sizes larger than six and to let the creator of the mission assign the symbology to a unit.
