How are spreadsheets better than the official Vehicle program?
Spreadsheets allow you to handle things -- especially performance formulas - in non-standard wars. For example, VE2 will not correctly give performance numbers for autogyros but a user can't "fix" the top speed and stall formulas for them in the official program, but he can in a spreadsheet. Also, the program didn't handle component armor correctly in the earlier versions and I don't know if it was ever fixed.
