I need a fix....

[Hard Sarge]

nice opening moves, then my Recons got hammered , I then tried to slip in northern forces, and the English in 13 group went to work

but looks like it is time for me to get to work, I found some of the English AFs it is using

but, most of my Fighter units need some rest

[Hard Sarge]

I really need some rest now

plans work out, I caught 10 Canes sitting on the runways, and now got 85% clouds, so I can rest

[Hard Sarge]

nice plan, good idea, very bad weather, caught me by surprise !

[Hard Sarge]

and very happy with this result, look at the last raid, that is the Norway group, they got there head handed to them, but did some good damage in return (but target was damaged beforehand)

[Hard Sarge]

this turn may not look too good, but I am very happy with it (I caught a lot of planes on the ground)

[Hard Sarge]

ahhhh, the AI can still pull off a surprise or two

my Ju 87s slipped in with out any damage, only trouble was, they didn't slip out

the Fummars had a day to dream about, the bugger AI slipped in a few Squadrons where they shouldn't of been (won't last long)

ahhh, my fighters got pounded, my bombers got pounded, at least I left my recon birds in the hanger

but the score climbed to 10 during the day, (got to get the score fixed)

[Hard Sarge]

battle is getting a little bloody now

[Hard Sarge]

but as with the Defaints, the Fummers find out that they are not front line fighters

but, I don't know where they keep comeing from, I am sure they need a rest more then I do, or I should hope so

[Hard Sarge]

wellll, I was doing good until the Norway units came in, oh, they took it on the chin

Hey Hard...



I think getting rid of that side artwork would massively improve the game, e.g. allow you to see a lot more of the map, and open up far more map area than the shift from 800x600 to 1024x768 would do at first glance.

Ryan - that is the "not so obvious" bug that I mentioned.

with Eagle Day the fully UNzoomed map is the width of what you see there - there just isn't any more map to paint. When you zoom in, that panel is not drawn, and the map paints right across the page. Obviosuly it's not working correctly, it's one of the warts Ron was referring to. I had a go at him about posting screenies with programming errors in them, but I know why he posted them, so we're cool...

[Hard Sarge]

that is also only in the BoB game with the game on full zoom out mode, once you zoom in, you get the full map, look at the screen shots of BTR for that the game looks like

A rather small display error: It looks like the Italian designation "bis" is used in lower case and without a space behind the model number. G.50bis instead of G.50 Bis.

And it's CR.42 Falco not Cr.42

those are easy to change

okay,
it is now
CR.42
and
G.50bis

(at least I had the RO57bis right:)

[Hard Sarge]

oklay been adding some stuff and reporting things I would like changed or fixed, but my Programmers, don't want me showing off anything that may not be ready to be shown, so, I can still cut out bits and pieces

the English had a quote about louse lips

how is this for some radio Chatter ?

I think somebody may be in for a long day

[Hard Sarge]

Sorry, had to doctor that a big, think that was one of the areas, they didn't want me showing
 
hmmm
 
these guys are getting to be a pain
 
OH well, what I wanted to show, there a lot of planes getting ready to come a calling on England
 
 

[Hard Sarge]

hmm I would like to talk about that turn, but since it was a test of weapons, wouldn't be fair [:-]

what was odd though, JG 54 took it on the chin big time, it was like the Whole RAF was hunting that group, of course, that means somebody else was having a field day

which bear in mind, it was a test to see what it could do, not what it will do, but it is pretty none the less

@Hard Sarge
I checked some older screenshosts and saw that the symbols in the lower right corner are new.
Can every unit have its own symbol?
Would be a nice job for a mod to give every unit the original emblem.

[Hard Sarge]

right now, it is set up for the unit Nat, to show there
 
if I had the time and the Artist, what I would like is to get the unit eblems onto the page also, but that is more of a dream, or a down the road deal
 
it could be modded, but only down to the Nat level, not the group or squadron level
 
(IE, you could mod the Dutch eblem, but you couldn't mod the Dutch Squadron eblems)
 
(ahhh, this may be another one of those, I understand what I am saying, but not sure if anybody else will)

I know what you're saying

Basically, those emblems are directly tied to the nationality of the unit. There are only a finite set, so you change it and it affects all units of that ilk.

When you guys buy a hundred-million copies of the game we might be able to petition TPtB for some funding to paint up the 2000 odd emblems, insignias and crests for every unit represented, then I'd happily do the code and DB structure to use it. That would be super cool.
