For some reason, the article says that the conversation is made up (I think this is a mistake). What is most interesting is this artwork, which I have never seen before. Will we get towed mortars in version 5.0? https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3miBLQLOVVlgwr9ItdL1R9MiGxKyk2uSgQYPn02xwnw3vkyanvH_2pQXJYnf4389xsZaVCO_UQE0ZWLqadBkP4c0jaR5C0v6RFlUwWALtVdq01sXlZYklIXZWQJzt5ImOm50TDWtaTKldmPKstsmiSG-pwRfP9YMJTAwcQHe_tlDp7JrHgA_c05MH9NE/s1280/Mortar.jpg

Seriously, up to this point all the things we did to improve performance basically resulted in customers making bigger maps (unless restricted, like the Personal Edition) with more units and more parties until performance dropped again to the point where they are dissatisfied again. Better AI as demanded will require more computational effort. Yes, we'll multithread a lot more in V5, and that alone will widen the neck of the CPU bottle considerably, but if we allow for four simultaneous threads to run everything instead of the current one thread, and the AI will then require twice as much CPU calculations as before, you'll get only twice as much perceived performance out of the new version. At which point you'll be tempted to add another party of combatants (plus layers of civilians) to your scenarios to make things more interesting.
Feels a bit like playing Diablo - you loot monsters for better weapons to help you kill more and better monsters that drop more and better weapons to loot, so you can kill even more and even better monsters that drop more and better weapons to loot. Progress!

Version 5.0 will have the option to order ATGM units to only target specific types of vehicles: https://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/4546-steel-beasts-content-wish-list/page/335/#comment-237637

--- Quote from: Ssnake ---On one hand I'd say that we're making progress about as quick as I expected and we're not lagging much behind the optimistic projections. On the other, for PE users it will still take at least three more years before there's a realistic chance for a release, and there's a non-zero chance that it'll take longer.
There will be at least one more major V4 release, possibly two, before we can offer a version 5 to the general public.
