This may be a dumb question, but here goes anyway.

When I load SP-WAW it says 8.0 at the bottom. Will it/should it say 8.01 if I have installed the patch? I thought that I had downloaded the full 8.01 when I first got it but maybe I was wrong.

thanks

Yes there should still read 8.0 since the 8.01 update only changes OOB files and one shp file. This was discussed before forum crash andwas verified by staff also.

Is there a new version for correction of the OOB previous discussed? like the production of the 12 DBT or the Panzer IVD?

[Jamminji]

Thanks, I had missed that with the attack and all.

Is this the same as the 'MG patch'?

[Cirrus]

This is the "MG patch".

ORIGINAL: Cirrus

This is the "MG patch".

Looks like I've found a few more oddities (not sure if they are actually "errors")...


*"No Weapon" can actually kill [:D]


* The ANZAC Crewmen still has the Misc Small Arms in slot 1. [:D]

* Italy: Weapon #222 and 224 ("8mm (2) BMG/TMG") have a Pen AP value of 1. These are the MG's on M11/39 and M13/40. They appear in the OOBs of multiple countries and is even "corrected" (i.e. Pen AP set to zero) in some of the countries, but not Italy itself for some reason.

(Why would you want a Pen AP value of only 1 when a rifle is enough to destroy unarmored jeeps and trucks ? [:)] )


* Belgium: Weapon #184 ("30 Browning FN") has a Pen AP value of 1 (same reason as above.


* Communist China: Weapon #227 ("7.5cm Krupp M08") has a Pen HE value of zero and a warhead size of 1. This is the weapon used on a howitzer (Unit #44).

Tested in the game-- the howitzer bombards with small arms fire! [:D]

(The weapon with the same name in the Nationalist China OOB is actually a medium gun with a Pen HE value, though.)


* Nationalist China: Weapon #122 ("7.92 mm Type 26") has a Pen AP value of 7 and a Pen HE value of 6. This one was used on an HMG Squad (unit #35). I thought all MG's smaller than .50 cal/12.7mm (except the ones on aircrafts) were supposed to have 0 Pen, but this one clearly wasn't fixed.


* Finland: Weapon #157 ("7.92mm MG37 CMG") has a Pen AP value of 8 and a Pen HE value of 6.


* France: Weapon #176 ("7.92mm MG64 TMG") has a Pen AP value of 2. Weapon #177 ("30 cal CMG") has a Pen AP value of 7 and a Pen HE value of 5. Weapon #142 ("Twin 7.5mm TMG") and Weapon #112 ("7.5mm FM24/29x2") both have a Pen HE value of 1.


* Free France: Weapon #111 (the same weapon as France #112) also has a Pen HE value of 1.


* Nationalist Spain: Weapon #148 (".303 Bren AAMG") has a Pen AP value of 3 and a Pen HE value of 2. (Fixed in Republican Spain.)

Maybe a bit off topic, but are there still plans for us to buy a CD with the new Mega Campaign and 8.0/1? I don't know how much of this might have been covered prior to the crash. Thanks
