The fact that the game is getting all this constructive criticism is really a positive. Especially as we have very well-versed users here that are obviously spending time with the game and looking to have certain areas polished up a bit more.

As for those who will not buy the game due to the current Unit/OOB naming, it makes perfect sense that they wait until modders like Oberst Klink, or the devs themselves, address the issues. No point in buying something that might annoy you. As for me, I am having a great time with the game and experimenting with the editors!

Best wished to all.

I am not a English native speaker myself, but as far as I understood the wording and the meaning of all the comments, I cannot find any bashing of game or person.
We are here, because we have interest in the game and would like to see it being a winner.
I am sure, that everybody involved in the creation of the game worked with passion, but because the game is sim-like, these additional corrections should be made.

Davide, hanno ragione. To avoid misspellings, player confusion, gripes and inconsistencies, I suggest that you use the English language nomenclature, even for the German units.
However, be aware that the British Army and the US Army have different systems. In your answer, for example, you mention Royal Armoured Batallions for the UK.
There is no such thing. The British Armoured units were and are either descendants of Cavalry regiments or belong to one of the Royal Tank Regiments. In all cases, they do not use the term batallion. So what would be a British armored batallion is in fact a regiment - with the equivalent manpower of a batallion - called something like 11th Hussars or Royal Scots Greys or 2 RTR (2nd Royal Tank Regiment). On the other hand, the equivalent in the infantry would be 2 KRRC (2ND Batallion of a regiment called the King's Royal Rifle Corps, formerly the Royal Americans, by the way). So a British Armored Brigade would probably include, for example, the Blues and Royals and the Royal Dragoon Guards for the tanks, and the 4th Batallion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers as mechanized infantry. Administratively, all British armored units, both cavalry regiments and RTR, belong to the Royal Armored Corps. Finally, the British spell armored as armoured.
I have no idea what the German system was in detail, but my instict tells me to avoid complications and take the line of least resistance.

As mentioned earier, I am working on it. I am thinking of creating slides like I did for TOAW IV, see below.

Thanks again for reporting !

As you can see our priority is for the technical issue.
Sorry but the "team" working in this game is of two men, me and Vic, and both have also a daily work and family

That's great to hear, thank you for taking this into consideration.

Well, that will be a lot of work but
you can at lest remove 1st, 2nd etc numbers from German units and put those DOTS there like 1. Regiment, 2. Regiment with spaces between dot and name

I also tend to add numbers to battalions in same regiment as I don't like different units with the same names, but that's different story

With the last open beta patch (100_05) i fixed many issue but as you know all the units on the maps must be fixed one by one and for each scenarios!
Thanks for the feedback, hope asap to fine tune all !

I'll try to have the German-US military glossary/dictionary ready by the 16th. The day, I do kid you not, I'll yet again be in uniform, but not for Wacht am Rhein; COVID19 support with the Army Reserves.

I thought I'd have more time; but because the covid19 situ, it's yet another call. I'll have my laptop with me tough. I try my best to fix a PDF with the abbreviations I used in my localized trooptype library etc.

I'd add reece values for the motorcycle, jeep | Kübelwagen, M8 and British Humber armoured car, too.

Still experimenting with it, until Vic provides us with some sorta formula what the values do.

The standard recon value is 1, so adding 5 or 10 is already a big step !
I think Yes for all armored cars, bmw75 and sdkfz250 , but no for jeep and kubel, too many units had jeep or kubelwagen !
