The Problem With this "reality" game

But so far, MoW has made the same mistake as others have, such as CoH. I love CoH but MoW can be so much better in regards to the realistic-ness and game play.

While one might easily get that idea, though Mow does not have any intention of beeing a simulation. Not even close to it. Letz face it Mow and Ass are still "arcade" real time strategy games. That doesnt mean they are bad or do not involve strategy. But they are far away from realism. There are many incorect features in the game which simply havnt been that way and I am not just talking about the things tweaked for gameplay. It starts with inacurate units and look. Well the last might be a bit nitpicking but when you see the standart Tiger 1 coming in its "gray" painting while that was changed very fast to yellow or some other colour pattern you know what I am talking about. Or the Panzer IV G beeing rather more the very rare Panzer IV F1 convereted to the F2 with its 50mm of armor when the Panzer IV G had in reality either 80mm or 50 + 30mm aplique armor. Just a few examples though.

I love simulations. But I doubt Mow would be a good one even if it tried to be such. The gameplay is simply made for fast gameplay and action. Simulations usualy require a different gameplay.
