Thanks for the good words mate.
We are considering further limitations to the map contacts. (Refinements by Rubini)
For myself, though I have grown to prefer the concept of "no contacts." However, I also consider the subject to be debatable enough that I will not penalize players whatever their decision.
IIRC, the biggest realism penalties a GWX user is given, are relative to the freecam and manual targetting.
At the end of the day, each player aiming at "hardcore simulation" as presented by the GWX mod, must make his own decision based on his convictions and interpretation and select their realism options accordingly.
The decision was made to settle some very old and very long debates.
