additional clarification of the interface would be nice - they could do something like they did for aircraft replacement - state what the condition is currently, and then have the button next to it to change the condition.

I.e. - TF is currently docked
button - "undock".

Unit is currently accepting replacment
button - "turn replacements off"
(Right now, for LCUs the button reads replacements ON when there are replacements arriving.)

(Currently, as in example above sometimes clicking a button means to UNDO something, and at other times it means to DO something.)

Show me a decent Ai...and I will show you the colour of my money... this game and its mods are superb!!! now its been around for so long you would expect a decent Ai to have been worked on..by the delveloper...So maybe a Witp GOLD!!! or 2 but i would pay a decent amount even full price[:D] if there was a version 2 in the pipe line....

No one ever seems to ask this!!! You would think with the amount of traffic on this board that it shows the interest is there in enough numbers to work on it...PLEASE....
Me for one would give it a go at playtesting....

I would also pay for a WITP 2.
A nice AI would be nice, but I am just as happy playing PBEM.
A different land combat model would be a must.

For WiTP 2.0 (which I would pay a premium for), I would like to have:

1. An AI that doesn't interfere (much) when there is a real player for the side in question.
2. Better ground combat modelling--see the Gamers OCS system for what I mean. Probably key here is partial hex occupation, since the game mesh combines big 60 mile hexes with short 1 day turns.
3. Air operations defined in terms of number of sorties, not squadrons/groups launching as a whole.
4. Way points for naval movements. And three moves per day.
5. Timing taken more explicitly into account during air operations. I can provide sample C++ code for managing an event list.
6. A better map.

Add new option to CS Convoy orders

A big "Click Count Reducer" would be a modification of the CS Convoy orders. A 'CS' convoys is where you form a transport TF, set a destination, then click on the 'Human Controlled' toggle, and it switches to 'CS Convoy' (or 'CS Controlled' or something). The TF will then robotically:

1 load supplies on AK's and fuel on TK's
2 take them to the destination
3 unload them
4 return to the home port
5 start over at #1

These types of convoys are great helpers in reducing the repetitive work load on the player (hence 'click count reducer'). The problem is that they cannot move oil or resources. And players must move a lot of oil and resources.

Please add an option so that a CS convoy can be told to either load "Supplies/Fuel" or "Oil/Resources".


For clarification please note that I am not referring to the auto convoy system.

[:)] How about the ability to priorize targeting , for task forces as well as aircraft? It seems like quite often a surface or air attack will concentrate on escorts and ignore high value targets (like carriers).  Maybe a system wide priority arrangement if nothing else.[:)]
