No, I just don't believe in nagging about something like this.....It'll be ready when it's ready, or it won't.  Nothing we type here will make the slightest difference. 

Given that you only joined the forum on Saturday, how would you know?

Optionally fake up a demo, hire Keanu Reeves and call it a good 'un! 

How many armored vehicles should be expected under Lend-Lease, will there be a Churchill tank ?

Maybe not weird, but when I target a Bradley at a building, it launches a Tow, then starts to reload TOW and doesn't fire cannon. Before TOW reloads, which takes an age, often get an RPG that takes it out. Maddening. I would much prefer TOW not to reload, and fire cannon instead (unless targeting a target against which cannon would have no effect, but even then, may prefer cannon if it strips off external systems and shocks crew). 

Would be nice.
^^This!
It would be interesting to see something like this. It is a big architecture issue for sure so really only on the table for a major product rework. They made the choice they have been operating on with the development of CM2. By now they can see the upside and downsides of that choice. I'll be looking forward to Steve talking about he and Charles choice for CM3 at some point.

Sure isn't perfect. And indeed CMx3 with new graphics would be very welcomed!
Personally I don't have much issue with the 'paid upgrade policy'. Basically it's a choice between BFC not putting work into upgrading old titles, or they do work upgrading old title and work needs payment unless people volunteer.
What I do hope is that in the future CMx3 will be 'one family', instead of many different ones each with their own patches etc.
I regularly took breaks from CM due to Real Life or just wanting to play something new. But always come back to it and like you during corona PBEM is ideal for a lunchbreak. 
Only thing is that if work is busy and my head is full of work, PBEMs can be too 'active' for a break. Overload 🤣

I'm trying not to visualize those.

Each game has it's own merits. As you say, it's all good.

I don't think there's much benefit to pre-order.  And I will pre-order the very minute it opens.  😀

its a shame we can't have some way of saving that status of the battle once its over, like condition and status of all units etc, and the status of the map, so if you wish to keep on fighting or making multiple scenarios with a cascade affect etc without having to make a campaign.
 
and a list to some degree of the casualties per unit etc. is always something i like to see in detail. in similar fashion as done by close combat games.

Yes, Bubba.

🤣

Wego because of what Mike Churchmoor just wrote. He hit each of the reasons quite well. If I want an RTS, there are a lot out there. If I want a carefully researched, high fidelity combat simulation game, there's CM.

1. WeGo because I'm used to it.

2. WeGo because winning the game is not related to my reflexes in any way.

3. WeGo because of replay possibility.

4. WeGo because my multiplaying sessions are pbem only (lack of free time :mad:).

I've heard several people saying they miss all the action in rt. They like the cinematic quality. Sometimes it's nice to sit back and see how your plan worked.

How? 
It doesn't cost any more and if it means Steve & Co. have a bit of 'fluidity' to make things happen, I'm all for it.....Christ I pre-ordered that POS Cyberpunk 2077 so whingeing about Battlefront's pre-orders would be downright churlish.

Speculatively, it would not surprise me if a detailed data output tool feature was implemented for the MoD version (given the requirement for post evaluation & analysis in mil training exercises). Does not mean the community will get it though - rather sounds like the very thing Steve refers to in his OP:
 
 

I just remember those huge wheatfields in CM:BB.....On fire from end to end!
