SP gun vs. Tank

[lansoar]

Hi,

I've noted with interest that the current developers have acknowledged on more than one occasion that SP guns in the game work far more efficiently as casemented guns on a mobile chasis vs. a turreted gun tank.

Obviously, if this was easily correctable, the talented team at Shrapnel would have fixed it so this is not a criticism. It is what it is.

I'm just curious as to any feedback on how this became a reality in the original versions of SP. On first thought, but of course with hindsight, it would seem to be a major oversight by Gary Grigsby.. From a coder's point of view, was there a logical reason for the current reality? And is there any idea on how it might be compensated for in a future version of the game?

Thanks as always for the support for one of the greatest war-games in computer history.
