I suggest to all to try SPWAWH2H, Panzer leos MOD for SPWAW
The OOBS have been worked on alot as well as alot of other issues.
I would consider it an upgrade to SPWAW ver 7.1

Now that I think of it, does feature damage (armament, optics, etc) still occur in v7.1?

all of you who have asked about H2H, there are quite a few threads on the subject, do a search.
One that comes to mind is in the Hall of Fame sub forum.
H2h is SPWAW, just with much improved oobs, and alot of other improvements.
It will be available once again soon. The website it was on(fabios) ran into some tevchnical problems.
Look for it over at Blitz ops.

You'd have to ask my Tiger II in one of my Fights, but I coulda sworn I saw "Optics Destroyed" when that shell impacted.

So I'd say yes, but I'm not 110% sure like I'd like to be.

That is good to know. In more than 10 battles I have not seen a single one.

Well Penetrator, consider yourself lucky. I had it happen to all three of my Centurion Mk II's in a PBEM I'm playing a the moment.

One's Main Gun is gone. The other two have no toolboxes, one of those two has no optics either, the other has a blown tread.

The only real 'bug' is see is in the MC's - they all seem to suffer from the scoring bug ( save the game and score isn't saved)

This is a bug, but it is a _MC_ bug.

This does wreak the game - no matter how hard you try, if you save you are going to end up with a series of D Losses, get (wrongly) sent down the 'bad commander' campaign path, have no fun and never win....

I have had this is Desert fox ( Luckily there are only a few battles which have per turn vhex's and/or exit hexes)
This happends very frequently in Lost Victories....
It happened in WT - (Take the whole field, wipe the enemy) and get zero points for a D. Loss

However,...at worst, the scenarios could be editted to remove per turn and exit hexs, this should fix the problems.....(but who has the time:-)

Lost-scores-due-to-save Bug

The lost-scores-due-to-save bug in the MCs is not a minor issue. For the reasons stated above and partially requoted here
This does wreak the game - no matter how hard you try, if you save you are going to end up with a series of D Losses, get (wrongly) sent down the 'bad commander' campaign path, have no fun and never win....
it goes right to the heart of a semi-role playing game with decision nodes based on the results of preceeding actions. It is extremely disappointing. It does "wreck the game". Due to this bug, it is not possible to realize the full potential of the MCs. In support of those who put nearly USD 100 into three MCs, it deserves attention.
