nope, it just shows the value to Japan and the Allies. The word port or airfield do not show up on the roll over. If I click on the dot and the base screen comes up, for all of the dots it says 0(0) for the port and 0(0) for the airfield.

Oops! [:o] You're right, it doesn't. Sorry 'bout that.

Hi,
what i would like to have is a sort of diary with all intel reports listed chronologically.
This report could be searched for locations, units etc. Or these locations, units etc. would be highlighted and when clicked on i would get an abstract witk all info on this speciaö unit, location etc.
Also definite ship reports would be nice. e.g. CA Mogami is docked at Singapore.

But then, I'm probably dreamin'

This report diary is something that could be programmed externally. I'll have a look at it.

On the ship list/TF Creation screen, I'd like to see AA and ASW ratings so I could sort the list by that. It would save a lot of work from having to right click everything to find the right DD's for your TF

If it's possible(within the scope of this great game),I would like to see the inclusion of a new aerial unit:U.S.Navy BLIMPS!!!!!!(They were very common and used for ASW and Naval spotting on the U.S. coastlines.)..Thank you..[:D]

I'd like to be able to bring up a list of all LCU's embarked on ships which shows their TF and or location. As it stands now a unit embarked doesn’t show up anywhere. Not in the List All Land Units, and not when you look at the units at a base. It gets very confusing trying to track down that unit you know you loaded 3 turns ago along with 20 others and there are TF's all over the place.

Maybe this has already been asked but how about being able to set the objective for all LCUs in a TF right now to change it you have to go through every troops ship one at a time

Missing Nationalities

1) Currently in the game there is no distinction between the British Army, RAF, RN & RM, because of this the following happens:

Example 1: RN HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.
Example 2: RAF HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.
Example 3: Fleet Air Arm (RN) Air Groups are command by RAF Officers.
Example 4: RM units are commanded by army officers.

2) Currently in the game there is no distinction between the Australian Army, RAAF & RAN, because of this the following happens:
Example 1: RAN HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.
Example 2: RAAF HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.

3) Currently in the game there is no distinction between the Canadian Army, RCAF & RCN, because of this the following happens:
Example 1: RCN HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.
Example 2: RCAF HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.

4) Currently in the game there is no distinction between the New Zealand Army, RNZAF & RNZN, because of this the following happens:
Example 1: RNZN HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.
Example 2: RNZAF HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.

5)Currently in the game there is no distinction between the Indian Army, RIAF & RIAN, because of this the following happens:
Example 1: RAN HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.
Example 2: RAAF HQ’s, Base Forces, etc . . . are commanded by army officers.

6) Currently in the game there is no distinction between the Dutch Army/Army Air Force and the Royal Dutch Navy, because of this the following happens:
Example 1: Royal Dutch Navy Air Groups are command by Dutch Army Air Force Officers.

America has separate service branches (USA, USAAF, USN & USMC). Why shouldn’t Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India and the Netherlands? I know this is not really that big a deal but I find it annoying.

Could we put little Nationality flags or verbiage with the ships so one doesn't have to select each ship in a port to see what Nationality it is. I'd like to know if the DD is British or not since I don't have them memorized.
Maybe the name could say DD blahblah (B) where (B) is British, D for dutch, A for Aussie, U for US, C for Canada, Z for New Zealand F for French.

For routing transport TFs waypoints would be useful, but maybe it would be better to ensure that the AI will route such TFs well away from suspected enemy air bases. If this was done reliably, then auto TFs could be safely left to themslves without even having to set waypoints for each TF.
