Well, as ML already pointed out - namecalling is childish. Further on - there is nothing and nobody who would stop you from diggin into the DW database as well as all the relevant doctrines and make the changes you desire so much. Feel free to even share your work with others as Lw and Amizaur have done. Of course this would mean actual work on your end to understand how doctrines work, what you can change or not change with them and of course what the database is for.

I understand thats a lot of work and its of course a lot easier to call up some open sources who may or may not be right (or even in the ballpark) and request that everything be made to your liking ... STAT. And of course if those changes are not made or the whole thing doesnt work your way from the beginning then it must be "unreal" or just for "childish fun". Its always fascinating to see people who dig up some sources, preferably (in case of all the russian weapons and platforms) some shiny brochures or data directly from the manufacturer - intended to be published and given to the buyers of those weapons and actually take them for real and as undisposable facts. Now thats one hell of a scientific approach.

Bottom Line .. if you don't like what the LwAmi Mod is offering .. do your own mod. If you find questionable behaviour ... post it in an objective way and wait for the response. The possible responses include :

- Oops ... thats a bug, thanks for bringing that up it will be fixed
- Thats not a bug, its a feature (a Microsoft favourite)
- Its not a bug, it works as designed
- Thats how it should work and this was broken in the stock game
- ...

If the answer doesnt satisfy you, you still have options ...

- bring hard data to support your statements (Wikipedia for example isnt scientifically wise - hard data)
- make the changes yourself
- make do with what you have
- simply revert to Stock DW
- ...

Certainly not an option is being obnoxious and childish (name calling comes to mind). Btw. here is a link how you shouldn't participate in technical discussions (http://www.simhq.com/_air9/air_282a.html).
