This is a fair point and something I've been thinking about. We'll see though. As you point out, it's extremely easy to add this later if you prefer it. Then there is the issue of whether the dirt/dust should be tan (i.e. dirt) from the approach or gray (smashed concrete) from the city? My thinking is leave it black and let you decide later.
As I mentioned, we are playing with some ideas for advancing weathering. However, you've hit the nail on the head in that any advanced weathering will be done specific to a particular usage or battle that we're covering.
Fair enough and I can understand why you aren't enamored with my response (especially when you phrase it that way!). I just hope you understand in return that first and foremost we have to run a business. If we can add additional detailing without raising costs or raising sale price, we certainly will. The fact of is, we just don't know yet. We haven't had a chance to try it!
Please try and remember that we are totally new to this and have thus far created one vehicle in two variants so we have extremely little experience to draw on. For whatever reason, we also seem to have done this under a microscope of scrutiny. Personally, I think we've done an outstanding job considering we've never done this before. However, I also think we can do better. Once we get a few more vehicles under our belt, you'll see a continous cycle of improvement much the same as we've shown with our figures. We just need more time and experience and the only way to get it is to create more vehicles, figure out what works and what doesn't, what customers like and what they don't, and then incorporate that experience into future models. In our extremely brief history as a company I feel we've already shown that we operate with a philosophy of continous innovation and constantly push the boundaries of what can be achieved. You should expect nothing less from our AFV's.
