Improvements to QB?

[Exel]

The quick battle force selection algorithm still causes some immense frustration at times. How high is this on the priority list of things to be fixed for the next patch(es)? I'm tired of getting forward observers without artillery, jeeps when I ask for armor, and only tanks when I ask for infantry.

I'd also appreciate for more direct control over what units we get in QBs, but I guess that's a useless wish..

I absolutely loved the old CM QB point system. Too bad.

Fixing that would be nice, also would like to be able to the map I want to play on, this random map generation is for the birds, imho.

Well AFAIK both aren't going to change, so you'd better wonder off to the pet shop.

You could of course address both by just creating a scenario (editing a map to make it the way you want and selecting the forces you want) rather than just selecting a QB (I guess that removes the "Q" though).

Sorry the above post assumes that:

If not, then maybe I have it wrong.

I think he means select the map.

Sorry, add pick the map to play on. Never was good at typing and talking on the phone at the same time.

QB in CMSF wasn't even going to be included originaly, and was added as an afterthought. Strange, seeing how this was one of the best features of the old CM.

What we have for QB now is a half-baked add on/mod they tacked on at the end.
