My two cents, if possible:
1) Trade window that indicates how many resources reach a country over the expected number. This way, it's easy to see which resources are lost from sub or raiders and where.
2) Clickable hexes on the map that shut down portions or branches of a particular route. This allows you have a little more control over which resources need to be shipped especially if you have limited MMs.

The ability to turn unit upgrades off and on.
Currently we can turn off upgrades and reinforcements, but not just upgrades.
Basically, want more control over what units get upgraded versus reinforcements.

Can army groups be XXXXX, per NATO symbology? I am ignorant of any reason China's army groups would only be XXXX. Mainly this would help differentiate between small and large armies for merging purposes.

A single screen like the one I attach, and that by clicking on one of the flags you can buy units in different countries.

That's a pretty good screen. But I am not rewriting the UI as it will be high;y subject to bugs and be very time consuming.

But I will use what I learned for WP2 UI.

I already imagined that for a patch it would be too much, but for WP2 it would be very good, it becomes somewhat tedious to click flag by flag every turn for production, construction ...

If you also make room for the production queue, we have everything in one screen.

Hello I am new to the Warplan games and just want to say they are really great. Warplan Pacific is the Pacific theatre game I have been waiting for a long time. Since Pacific War by Victory Games. Very in-depth but does not take years to play. My one wish is the production screen not be static but able to move it anywhere on your screen. Or have the option to place it in center vs upper left. My eyes aren't what the used to be. Yes I do wear glasses.

Thanks. Use the [ and ] keys to increase or decrease the UI.

Use the ? key on the far right side to look at the help tabs that have a lot of useful information.

Don't forget to update to 1.00.01

Reviving this thread. It would be nice if after deploying a unit, it went to the next unit on the queue instead of the beginning. I have airfields in storage that make deploying a real hassle.

Ability to "mark/skip" a unit as done when using the unit cycle arrows, instead of it just repeating over and over. I may have missed the way to do this, if it is doable.
