Thank you for such a detailed and well-considered suggestion. We've passed this to our development team for consideration. 🙏

I often thought about this, especially for Hanger Showdown. Good idea.

I second this suggestion. It's hard to believe we don't have this already

hey, thats my idea! ;) just kidding. Great idea!

We certainly need a "Battle Replay" option in Mech Arena. It will help improve my playstyle and team-coordination abilities. I'm eager to test the feature and waiting for its release.

"I'm eager to test the feature and waiting for its release"

Sadly, realistically speaking, even if Plarium decides to implement the feature (which itself may never happen), it could take months running into years before they do so. It's just not a hot topic in the community AFAIK, so there's no huge motivation for Plarium to prioritize it.

Keeping this thread alive is one way to make it a hot topic :-).

Let's hope it'd become one. I am giving full support for it

Would be great to have a Replay option. Do you think they will actually provide us with in game tools that we can use to prove the game cheats at times? The internet would be flooded with videos. Their reputation isn't doing well as it is.

The two biggest "cheats" (aka complaints) are imbalanced matchmaking among humans and imbalanced loadouts among bots. Neither of those need complex tools to demonstrate, and you can get by with a few screenshots. Plus both of those are well known, and the former is even acknowledged by Plarium as being a problem (but one they claim is too complex to fix).

So, I would hope such a tool would not be rejected on the grounds that it can reveal these issues, because these issues are already well revealed quite easily :-). 

Moreover, it has huge other value which I've mentioned in the OP - game sharing for fun or for events, or an extra data point for support when raising bugs.

dont tell them why they shouldnt implement it :) 

That's what I was trying to say without making it obvious ;-). But I feel I made such a good alternate argument that I even convinced myself :-).

Seriously though, I think the more realistic reason to not implement such a feature is estimated longevity. If a game maker isn't certain their game will last a long time, such features are hard to invest in. I don't know their financials but there is clearly investment in it.. hopefully the game is doing well enough that such a feature can make the cut some time.
