I 100% see where your frustration comes from, and agree with it, but at the same time, I did kinda enjoy super tank duels. And you can very easily avoid that simply by limiting the ERA to be played (there are not really super tanks in a restricted '70's deck for example)I don't want to see dumb duels between supertanks again or cv sniping or all that crap from wargame. That's what made me stop RD.
I think a cool, potential future wargame could be one set in the current era, BUT, all the expensive programs that fundamentally went nowhere/were cancelled were allowed to be fully functional in game
(US Comanche, for example)
