We need more intel - part two

Post by ncc1701e »

Would it be possible to introduce in the Turn Report some small reports about enemy naval activity?

One thing I love about WITP is indeed these enemy activity reports.

I miss them in Warplan Pacific to try to assess where the enemy naval units are and where they are going without necessarily using a COMINT on key ports.

For example, when I am moving an enemy fleet next to an island owned by my land/air units. I would expect a chance of detection (spotting planes).

But, not only a chance of detection but also a chance of identification with some levels.

Examples of lines that would be cool to see in the Turn Report:

Enemy surface fleet spotted at hex 23, 34, composition unknown, heading south west
Enemy surface fleet spotted at hex 18, 52, composition 2 CV, 1 BB and transports, heading north
Enemy surface fleet spotted at hex 56, 35, composition Akagi CV, Yamato BB plus escorts, heading south
Enemy submarine fleet spotted at hex 56, 35, composition 2 Subs, heading north east

I am keeping the scouting information as is. It provides the information it needs to already.
