No, that is not what THIS player wants. I want either my subordinates to assign specific targets for all mission types (and I hate that idea), or I want the ability to do so myself. There is no extension of game play time here. You have an enemy TF spotted. You alert your strike aircraft units that this will be their target. If it disappears, c'est la vie. If the strike is not executed, it is one of the frustrations we have come to expect from this game. If the strike goes in, well and good. End of story.


Hi, The TF you are going to target was there yesterday. It's not there when you plot. (unless it is unloading in a hex) Your looking at last turns map. Before you fly the next search you don't know if you will even find that TF. I don't think they plot strikes

"Yesterday a TF was here. We don't know where it moved the last 24 hours. Load up and go"

I'm not retreating, I'm attacking in a different direction!

ANyone who wants to target a specific TF is playing the wrong game. The beauty of UV/WITP is that it simulates the lack of sure information on naval sightings. What would be nice would be for the player to set PRIORITIES for his naval strikes, nothing more.
