    Third party antivirus tends to increase the threat surface area of whatever system it's installed on, ironically making them even more vulnerable. Plus the third party antivirus will also have their own vulnerabilities.

    There are also no protections against zero-day exploits. The system needs to be actively supported in order to close them, which windows 7 will not be since it's been abandoned by Microsoft.

    wrong .

    There are security issues that Win7 just isn't prepared for.  Especially CPU level.  And consumers are the absolute biggest problem in cybersecurity.  Most big malware and ransomware attacks are done from consumer PCs that the owner doesn't even know are compromised.  Win7 absolutely cannot begin to know how to protect itself from those chip-level attacks.  That has to be done  at the chip level in conjunction with the OS.  No third-party AV software or self-help site will fix that.  Cyber-criminals drool over unprotected thermostats and Win7 PCs still connected to the internet.

    Thats not even talking about GPU driver support completely going away and the lack of Win7 support for DX11 and DX12.

    Don't forget strong anti-viruses / network protections are available for Win7 still, so playing older games is still good. There are ways to play without the UI anyways. multiplayer can be risky possibly, but people who still use Vista and even XP for older single player games and programs have managed with no problems.

    In about 4 months, steam is no longer going to support Windows 7 users come January 2004. I don't know exactly if you can still play through the UI or how it will effect the play-ability of your games. I know there are still many users here with that system. Expect the worst. Many users extremely angry.

    Tank / gun special ammo selection

    in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg

    The tank crew keeps a shell in the barrel ready to fire

    The commander tells gunner which shell to keep loaded in breach for quick fire AT, smoke or HE ?

    road march to battle carry

    Imagine how difficult it was to pick which shell to keep in the breach.

    Do I carry a loaded a HE or AT? Then if you see a tank with HE in barrel he can you eject or have to fire that first? and load an AT round all while enemy tank is sighting you up.

     

    These things were excellently displayed in Close Combat series of games.

    It's all really skill level of crew.
