Have WiTE 1 and also 2

[Edorf]

Hi, all

I initially bought WiTE 1 on GOG a long time ago but since they don’t provide the latest beta patch I put it on hold. Since then I also bought WiTE 2 but since there’s a run of patches and balancing yet on that one so I think I’m going to wait for a couple of patches before playing.

Because of the Holiday sale I’m thinking of maybe purchase WiTE here on Matrix and try the game out. In that regard I have a question;

Is version 1.11.03 more stable ( less bug ridden) than the latest 1.12.06 beta?

I never have has a bug with the 1.12.06 beta if that is any help to you--what types of bugs are you referring to? I am using it currently and all is well [:D]

Well, this one in 1.12.06 stands out: mech units fuel bug, https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4998967
Not totally gamebreaking, but…

Wow--I had not encountered this, but see that this would be a big problem. Thanks for pointing this out. I usually get to units cut off in pockets and eliminating them pretty fast and thus would minimize this effect on their resupply. However, I will on the lookout for it. Thanks!

I think the fuel bug is probably a bigger issue for opponents who are not evenly experienced/matched up. The issue is that in 1941 in particular you are never quite sure if a panzer is getting real fuel or extra fuel bug fuel and that can become a real problem. If you survive 1941 in good shape it's not as huge a concern from the Soviet perspective.

However, having played a few Axis games it can be easy to cheese.

Too bad a bug like this exists in the game ten years after the initial release. Well, at least we know it’s there…
