The Victory Screen and Player Losses

Post by Adam Parker »

In the Victory screen is there any way for a player to see the damage/losses to his units by ship/TG name? The enemy's damage/losses pop up when the mouse scrolls over the enemy section of the screen but not the player's unless I've missed it. It would be great to have this information to contemplate.

I must admit, the problem I had with this game at the start was not having owned CaW prior. I now understand exactly what Gregor meant when he talked about mourning the loss of a prized ship.

And it was really painful to see the Japs find my solitary flat top Yorktown just 4 hours before the scen's end! She fought off wave after wave and steamed on untouched by sloppy Japanese aiming. And then the last waves came in with 6 or 7 hits. She was afloat with one green bar and I thought I'd end the scen with her. But shortly before dusk, despite the game being at speed 9, her icon turned from flat top to cruiser and I knew...

Adam, 
You certainly sound like you have gotten into the game!  It's great to see you made the effort to get past your initial impression of the game and that your effort to do so was rewarded.  You have been assimilated.
