Fuel status of a group

Post by Krupinski »

How can i see the fuel status of a selected group (of its members).

I only got a fuel-bar on the right side when i have a single aircraft...

Unfortunately you cannot see it for a group. You have to check it by individual units.

Indeed. Perhaps it would be useful, if the game showed the fuel status of the unit with least fuel in the group ?

Just an idea.

I thought the grey bar under the groupsymbol was the fuelstatus of the group...

We could have one bar for each plane in group when selecting the group. Just make the bar thinner and there will be space for all.

If and when we address this need to show more than one bar as the units all have discrete fuel values. I think the challenge is real estate in the dialog. Anyways...Its on our list. We'll get to it one day.

Thanks!

Maybe just a color dot for each unit, fading from green/ltgreen/yellow/orange/red/bingo(asterisk?) by fuel percentage.

Another idea is a percentage next to the units or in the pane somewhere. This is definitely a chore to check for something often important.

Btw 9 on the numpad is switch to individual unit view mode.

In addition, and possibly more so than just the fuel status, I would be very interested in being able to see the other figures such as endurance, fuel left before bingo etc. Displaying the figures for the unit in a group with the least fuel would be satisfactory (only other options are an average, which would be less useful, or displaying figures for all aircraft, which would be impractical).

Having to zoom in and toggle individual unit view on/off is a pain [:'(]

+1 to request. I think fuel status bar for unit with least fuel level in grup would be helpfull. For now, You have to press 9 to change group display, deselect group, and select each unit one by one to check fuel.

Just putting in another plug for a doctrine to disable RTB Bingo at the side/group/unit level.

Enthusiastic +1 (sorry for the thread jacking). With aerial refueling resolved as it has been the need for a "master bingo override per sortie" is admittedly less needed. But, my desire to fire off one more missile happens often enough. Bingo is still the kiss of sortie death. :/

Many thanks for even giving this 1/2 a thought, devs.
