Hi all,
I don't know if you're aware of the latest changes to this section (at least for the AFV/Armor).
On one hand I find them really successful on the other hand I don't understand how it works.
Let's explain what I mean : in the new organization, reviews are sorted out by category even sub categories (by country of origin and so on). The idea is great to help the search.
The problem is when looking at the country category it appears that the Russian section has only 6 reviews while in the USA one you'll find a lot of reviews about Russian/WarPac things. This complicates a bit the search.
BTW, I lost my review of the BMD2. I wanted to load it back as I accidentally erased it on my computer. I can't find it anymore.
What is your own feedback about the changes ?
For the staff, please don't take this post personnally nor offending. It is in no way my intent (but as I'm not a natural English speaker my writing may have gone farther than my mind)

That's because in the past the field "Country" was incorrectly used by some and home country of reviewer was being put there. Later Jim changed description of the field so now it is clear that the country of origin of the review subject should go there, NOT reviewer's homeland. This means that for old reviews sorting by this field will not give proper results. With time we may edit all old review to correct this information, but considering how many of them we have now it can take a long time...
