Can't really play games like Combat Mission in single player. Beating a script is not a good time.

Spinning disk drives for your operating system are obsolete, you might as well be using floppy drives. Time to upgrade to SSDs.

Ha, I saw the patch notes being the last response and thought, "new patch, they fixed it!", but now I see the context. Silly of me to expect such a serious but simple issue could be resolved in 8 months...

Yet in CMBS T-90s are left without front armour since the last patch 8+ months ago. If the game was easier to mod, maybe the community could pick up on some of Battlefront's slack, and that would do more for the game's "integrity" than avoiding silly mods. Maybe we could get the Porsche Kingtiger back in CMBN, 32 months after it disappeared, or correct some of the very silly point values in quickbattle.
 
Combat Mission has more to worry about than its "soul".

In this case the design decision is "prevent users from modifying software", which would include user created fixes for these problems. Anyone who has ever played a Paradox grand strategy game is aware of the concept of user created "patch" mods, because Paradox can often drag its feet for months and months on simple typos in scripts that break features.

It is frustrating. Battlefront is a small company but it seems to have the agility of a developer 100x its size. It can be pretty slow to respond.

Hopefully a fix for the T-90 issue can be snuck into this schedule. Not having front hull armour for T-90s significantly reduces choice in multiplayer and breaks a whole bunch of scenarios.

Not enough T-80s though.

Pfft, whatever. It's a monument to one of the most genocidal regimes the world has seen. The sooner it's torn down the better. 

The T-72B3M is not in the game.

The same way people can deny that a thing happened, while also bragging about that same thing happening.
People are ****ing idiots.

The T-90A front armour seems to have a bug. Any weapon can penetrate the glacis on the front of the tank, with the modifier "Hit:Opening" appearing. The lower front hull does not appear to be effected. It's the Steam version, if that makes any difference.
Video evidence below. You can see the front hull of the T-90A being penetrated through the front armour and the kontakt-5 with the BMP-2's cannon, the KPVT on the BRDM-2, and the 73mm grom off the BRM-1k. Pretty sure this should not happen, especially since it pops up "Hit:Opening" when it occurs.

I've been really disappointed with CAS in the few multiplayer quickbattles I've played. Aircraft cost rather a lot in terms of points, but even if limited AA doesn't destroy it or convince it to leave accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, with an F4 making multiple passes dropping only 1 bomb giving AA extra opportunities to shoot it down. Even without AA interference they are kinda anemic.
