A new feature that I liked very much in BiN was that in the tank and assault gun units, together with the unit name, the name of their main combat vehicles and a drawing of them is given. In the same way, for artillery units at least the caliber of the gun is given. I know it is a little feature, but it adds a lot to my enjoyment of the game. When I am playing I really like to have info to know where the attack and defend values of a unit come from.

However, checking the screenshots available from Battles in Italy, I have realized that this feature has been eliminated in BiI... Is this true? Why don´t you continue giving the name of the main combat vehicle in the tank and assault gun units??? Sincerely, I don´t know if I am going to buy BiI because I find it too expensive (I already own KP and BiN, and I think the price for BiI is too much for the improvements it gives when compared to KP and BiN). However the lack of information about the main combat vehicles in the units could be the final factor makes me NOT to but BiI...

Could you please confirm that this feature is not present in BiI? And if so, why have you eliminated it??

I wonder if you could point to a screen shot of the feature in BIN.

I don't seem to recall it.

Well, for example, in this screenshot:

I am referring to the designations:

- 902 Sturmgeschutza (StuGIV)
- 1346 Sturmgeschutz (StugIII)
- 205 Panzer (H35)

or in this one:

- 3 Panzer (MkV/MkIV)


As you can see the name of the unit is given together with the name of the main combat vehicle/s. Has this feature been eliminated in BiI? WHY??


Txema

The feature has been retained.

Here is a screen shot

Are you sure?

Following these screenshots it seems eliminated....
