1 of the reasons why its been taken out as it takes up space in the installer, which makes the mod a much bigger download and its also being replaced with better quility maps.

If you have a tank commander give hi binocs an the ability to use them atop a tank, or make alt fire on the tank mg binocs view instead of zoom, but you cant shoot with binos obviously. If theres a squad leader pickup will only squad leaders be able to pick them up?

I'm begging you guys, release the 0.32 patch now. We need new maps.

With POE2 having been released and the BF2 1.4 patch indefinitely delayed for release if ever, I'm finding server participation dwindling. Even I'm getting a bit bored with the same old maps.

Stuff waiting for the 1.4 patch. You're going to do more harm by waiting. Please, release it soon.

BF2 has no randomization engine, so I wouldnt think so...

Yeah I hear ya waiting on the BF2 1.4 patch has uh.. well.... not been according to the schedule we expected. It's expected that PoE would see a lot of people checking it out, but you are right .. we need a PR release soon.

We've made a ton of progress on v0.4 and I'd like to get v0.32 done so we can put that behind us and completely focus on v0.4, including releasing some updates about where we are at. Big pain in the arse for us is releasing v0.32 and then having to release a v0.33 patch because of some odd issue in BF2 1.4. Additionally we want to add AAS support for Road to Jalalabad, so need to wait on the patch release for that.

I completely agree that PRMM v0.31 has gotten *very* old. Between the scope of v0.4 and the effort required there (when we release it you will know what I mean .. there's a lot of changes) and the delays around BF2 1.4, the time between major releases has simply been far too long.

I'm not liking this long delay in between major releases at all. Originally I thought we could get to a 45 day release cycle, like DC eventually got to. Maybe 60 days is more releastic, but certainly we need a shorter release cycle than what we have between v0.3x and v0.4x.

I will say that with v0.4 we've implemented one of the most difficult things we felt a realism mod needed which was the Infantry classes & a reasonable kit limiting system. So with that in place, and a few of the Brit items that don't make v 0.4, I'm hoping we can get to a shorter cycle in between releases.

@ Pence: the closest yet hehe.

Hey, no pressure with 0.4 release, that's new development and a major change. It sounds fantastic and great effort there guys.

I'm simply saying we need new maps in the meantime and I've evaluated your prtmp1_1001_setup.exe map pack and am impressed with the quality and quantity available. So I was hoping it's not that hard to release a map pack alone, due to what's available.

Stuff supporting Road to Jalalabad, it's not a very good map anyway - nobody's waiting to play that. Leave it out and just support several new maps all before 0.4. Worry about BF2 1.4 and Jalalabad, if and when it's released.

Keep it simple. The lack of new maps is harmful to our health. :-D
