LWAMI4 Mod Poll #13: Readme Preference for Upcoming Release

I think with all the dramatic changes you're doing it would be great to have an on hands manual for the mod. That of course not only touches on the differences with respect to default 1.03 but also includes gameplay advices (tactics , etc,...) as to how to use the new features.

Half the point, in my opinion, is that "how to use" a particular feature should be figured out by the player.

I'm not so sure.
If the "how to use" becomes so frustating that a player just gives up whats the point ?
Always remember that although this mod is a "realistic" mod for die-hard players it should not exclude normal/ casual players.
In the end knowing howto use a feature doesn't mean you will become proficient with it.

Actually, both :p . It's a great task to make, but then updates to both versions should be relatively simple. And such complicated mod really would benefit from having both types of doc - detailed list of changes and a guide.
I would make them if only english was my native language...

Maybe I'll take updating the USNI reference entries, but currently I'm not sure yet what numbers and values will be finally used for various sensors and weapons...

on the other hand, updating is much easier than doing from scratch
