Suggestion: hiding air units

Post by Billy_Yank »

Hi

I have a little mess in south England preparing Overlord. The area is plenty of units, and it's difficult to identify and move the land units as most of them are covered by aircrafts.

Would it be possible to add a button to hide the air units?

Thank you

Or a button that would reorder which units are "top most"

I believe it is Air, Sea, Land

And a click would switch it to Sea, Air, Land
Next click Land, Air, Sea
And so on until you wrap around.

Hide would be okay too...but would need one for all types...Hide air, or sea or land so you can find all the units you want.

Maybe I have to see how complex that is to do.

As long as it doesn't make them invisible to the enemy

Agreed, the ability of displaying ONLY Land or Air or Sea would be a sweet feature .... Would be same request for WPP as well ......

Don't worry, you can imagine the number of things that were backported from WPP to WPE.

Maybe something like that wouldn't be so complicated.
