I can concur with the above stated idea's/suggestion's. What I would like to see changed would be an aspect of tech as applied to units.
As it currently stands, when a tech is advanced, the already existing unit(s) recieves the advantages of said tech advancement. Example: One has a tech level 1 and it upgrades/advances to tech level 2...The unit is then given the 'increases', etc. for receiving said tech advancement.
The angle I am coming at is that just because one has the tech level to build say, a King Tiger, would that necessarily carry to my CURRENT tank units, prior to the ability or tech level to build said King Tiger? I don't think so. If one has gained the ability to build a better tank unit (ie: King Tigers), should it also not mean that to be able to fully gain the tech level advantages that one would need to build a tank unit under that current tech level, instead of it applying 'across the board' so to speak? I think it would make the game more realistic.
Germany had the tech level to build a King Tiger, but because of internal material reason's and feasiability and costs, they built few units. COuld not this apply to SC? Instead of ALL units being given the advancements of said increase in a tech, would it not be more realistic to not have that happen and have one/player/nation have to build new unit(s) to gain said benefits? This would change play style's, some strates that rely on one gaining tech advancements in particular areas, etc.
I think this should apply to TANKS and AIRCRAFT. SImply 'upgrading' the unit would aply to ships, troops, etc. but in the case of tanks and airplanes...no. If one disagree's, remember, history speaks for itself. Again, Germany had the tech level to build King Tigers, but did this effect ALL current German tanks that existed prior to said ability? Did the German's simply upgrade those existing tanks and aircraft to current tech levels? Or did they actually have to build new units incorporating said increase in that particular tech level and area?
So, what you all think? I am a simple gamer, not a 'professional' as many here are. :eek:
