Ahh wasn't aware of that, don't own BoX myself. Still average player numbers being up by 100% is not bad.SOW Reddog wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 9:43 am100% of clod uses steam. That's not true of BoX. So the numbers aren't necessarily reflective.

Sure its probably a pipe dream, but man i think it really would be a hit if they did a bomber module with a b17 or lancaster in the quality they have. I guess the map would be the hard part to make big enough to make sense but it really would be excellent and there is literally nothing else remotely like that... thats the dream.
agreed mate, don't think I'll ever understand the logic of writing a negative steam review quickly after release and recommending that people dont buy a game, then complaining that not enough people are playing the game for your liking... all the while playing the game regularly and checking the steam charts every single day....... huh?......ATAG Pattle wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 10:21 pmI respect both sides of that one. Been there, done that. What I don't get, and this is the joy of the social media space we have now is that some people go out of their way to be negative about a product (any product) for reasons outside of the product itself, potentially hurting sales. Then jump on a soapbox and bang on about how player numbers or sales figures are not what they were expecting.
But the reality is this:Updates for Core and Blitz 5.0

*** AI: Vehicle spacing increased. The BestSpace value for all ground vehicles was too small (two lengths) and has been doubled. This results in fewer collisions and less accordioning. Also code to maneuver around obstacles etc. now works correctly.
*** AI: Vehicles now staying on roads and crossing bridges. Please read the FMB manual’s guidelines on how to set vehicles’ paths correctly. Also note: Now that vehicles behave correctly, problems surface we did not have when they behaved incorrectly. Especially with bridges. Many bridges on the Channel Map were broken originally and never repaired.

Bonus fact: OnBuildingDestroyed() isn't even a valid function in the game. OnBuildingKilled() is the actual function. They clarified the correct code in the feature notes thread...just never bothered to update the feature notes. Not that it matters since it doesn't work.OnBuildingDestroyed() is now correctly called in multiplayer when a building is destroyed.
Some people are a lot less diplomatic about their annoyance. Reddog and others clearly aren't looking to make nice about it and if you had more of the story you'd understand more about why they have an axe to grind, but you don't have to know it. If you are at all objective about this, the above two examples don't look good on TFS and ignoring stuff like that or washing it away, well, I don't think I'll ever understand the logic behind that.Public Overridable Sub OnBuildingKilled
I can imagine that is frustrating but on the flip side I see quite a few of the positive reviews on Steam are from TF and ATAG members, who are hardly going to be objective based on the quality of the product.ATAG Pattle wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 10:21 pm
