I reserve my judgment and give the title idiot sparingly and in this case the person is truly an idiot (and no, he's had 10+ years of dev experience). If you had seen the code he wrote you would agree too. "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." - Thomas Jefferson "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin Edbert Sydney, Australia

that's just too funny. I guess he's a bit cranky. I happen to be a bit of an armor historian buff, and the big, bad German tanks of ww2 were mostly junk. Credit to the 88 and the high velocity 75, but reliability is everything. The Tiger 2 and Panther broke down at horrendous rates. The panther's armor was spotty at best with mediocre quality of the armor plate, etc. Kelly's Heroes Tiger Tank - YouTube[^] Reliability was key. So, I appreciate the comment on the complexity of the arty pieces. I just wish some of the defense contractors in the US would learn.

I found out! It works when I load the assemblies using LoadFrom instead of LoadFile (it is in a function that I have not provided).
