No fuel indicator

[adek670]

Guys,

I'm playing 'duelists' on build 479

Why can't I see the fuel indicator for the sea harriers flying CAP?

See picture

Because they are in a group.

You can switch to unit-view, select any of the aircraft and see its fuel status.

thanks.

that makes sense

[:-]It makes sense from a unit point of view, but not from a group point of view.
As the guy in command (that's what CMANO is about, isnt'it ?) you want to know where they can go as a group.
I would suggest displaying the worst case (shortest range or time left for example).
Especially for a group of 12 or 20 aircraft, which you do not want to check one by one.

(PS. seeing the range on the map can help also)

[Blu3wolf]

well which one do you want to see? best range? best endurance?

I think fuel over home plate would be most applicable really.

[YaSchi]

Well, about the range it's more important for short-legged fighters than for ling endurance support A/C (AEW etc.).
So, range at cruise speed for example (I expect it's close to "best range").

Sorry I do not get what you mean by "fuel over home plate",
but it should take into account the fuel required to get back home + margin, yes.

There's also the question of refuelling, how is it taken into account ?
In fact, the internal working of CMANO might give clues
(how does it decide that an A/C can/should refuel rather than RTB, etc .)

However, a simple range indication even without refuelling might help.
