[Bug?] UI: Impossible to view carrier fighter range if carrier unit still has some movement points

[ncc1701e]

I think there is a problem in the interface.

If you click or double click on a CV unit that has not moved completely, the hexagon where CV unit could move are shown.
If you click or double click on a CV unit that has no movement point left, the carrier fighter range are shown by the game if I understood well.

But now, how I could display the carrier fighter range on a CV unit that still have movement points?

Thanks

There is definitely something I do not understand with carrier. If a CV unit has no movement point left, the Set Mode options are greyed out. Is it intended?

[ncc1701e]

Also, sometimes unselecting a CV unit with no movement point left, it is possible to do a recon mission. Sometimes not, while they were still strikes before unselecting the CV unit.

I was so puzzled that I have restarted the game. So, it seems that:
. on the very first allied turn, unselecting/reselecting a CV unit with no movement point left: it is possible to launch a recon mission.
. on the subsequent allied turns, this is no more working.

I've noticed this also.

Could it be that they have launched an air mission?

Carriers and Escort Carriers can change mode after moving, but not after they launch any air missions, including acting as escort to friendly air attacks.

No, I have verified. No air mission was launched.

Another problem on the Set Mode menu, this time on Sub unit. The menu is greyed out but the selection is not seen.
By chance we have an indication on the unit counter.

By the way, I wish an indication on the unit counter if the unit is in sleep mode.

[BillRunacre]

With Subs, changing from Hunt to Silent mode or vice versa can only be done before the Sub moves or attacks.

I'll add this to the Essentials Guide as I can see it's not in that, only the Manual.

[ncc1701e]

Bill, this is just that:
. on one hand, CV unit, the Set Mode menu sub options are greyed-out.
. on the other hand, SS unit, the Set Mode menu is greyed-out and this is NOT possible to view the selected options.

The interface should be the same for all units.

And I prefer to have the Set Mode menu sub options greyed-out to SEE what is the selection even if this is not possible to change it.
I.e. I prefer to have the CV unit behaviour applicable to ALL units.

Thank you

Just about this one, do you have a possible solution?

Thanks

I'm not in the game at the moment, but I think if you hold down either Ctrl or Shift with the Carrier selected it should switch to showing the strike range.

I'll double check exactly what it is tomorrow and add that to the Essentials Guide too.

You are right Ctrl and Shift Left click is doing the job. Thanks [&o]

Great, I'm glad my memory was almost correct! [:)]
