BTW I see that we now have an alert for packed and unpacked LCUs but do we now also have an alert for LCUs(AG would be great too) unloaded from TFs?

Guys, I have always been amazed by the work and attention you put into this for us all. So take my next comment in the right spirit please...

The ship tracker just introduced....

1. Not sure how useful it is as it shows your own ships, singly. I hope I can recall where my own ships are and pretty closely where they have been - inso far as that matters.
2. Its massively clunky as when I select a ship I then have to scroll around the map to find it..... which assumes I know where it is in the first place
3. What someone in my HQ would be doing in real life is tracking the sightings and engagements with an enemy ship and using that to show the area it is operating in and possibly predict where its going and what its up to..... this info is in the combat reports so its available, but a bit of a pain to find as the sole commanders of every rust bucket and bean shipment in the theatre....

I may be missing something as to the usefulness of seeing my own ships manoeuvres..... I am sure if I am I will be educated pretty fast by others on the forum.

Is there any chance we can have the ability to look for known sightings of an enemy ship? The info exists.... its not affecting game security - its just reducing the number of brain cells I need to deploy.

That's a bit harder, since I'd have to check every ship that has the LCU loaded on it to see if it unloaded. Or I can just alert fragment-by-fragment. Either way, it's not clean. Unless you have a suggestion...

Running 15 turns just fine, now this:

It means that the previous save and the new save have a different number of bases. That's not supposed to happen.

Something was corrupted either in the database or the save file. Assuming the pwsdll.dll file didn't change and there was no database update between turns and you chose a save from the same scenario, I'm not sure what it could be... [&:]

All baeses waren't attached to a region anymore. So I wanted to add them new and found out that the regions folder was empty! It noe works - though I didn't have the chance to try it with a new turn, yet - but It shows me every single LCU that is in game as "arrived" or "delayed xxx turns"
Very annoying!

Any clue?

LCU IJA China-Type/Mtn Brigade TOE upgraded Information

ORIGINAL: DRF99

Hi,

I'm playing the Babes-lite as JPN against the AI; using Tracker 1.9.1 of course.

Under alerts I just got the following message that has me stumped:

LCU IJA China-Type/Mtn Brigade TOE upgraded Information

It looks like a TOE upgrade but how do I track down the units that are IJA China-Type/Mtn Brigade

Thanks in advance,
DRF [&o]

Not sure how it now works but aren't the locations of all LCUs compared with the previous turn to see if a unit moved?
Maybe here could be done something similar, in the game the LCUs on ships are listed with location "TF X" so maybe those could be checked and an alert could be given if that changes to none TF location(or if it disappears it could indicate a LCU destroyed on sea), alert like "Y unloading started at Z".
I don't mind if the alert triggers with the first piece just unloaded, that would give the player a chance to set a mod if the unit should stay at that location, if it should move especially by strategic movement an alert if a unit has finished unloading(again by comparing and recognizing that the LCU or a split part of it isn't on any TF anymore but on land) would also by useful as the players usually want to move the complete unit and not a part of it.

Looks like it's not easy. If you see the "TOE Up" column in the LCU Panel, you'll know when a unit's TOE gets upgraded.

I suppose I could add some window that shows the units using a TOE and/or show a TOE column in the LCU Panel... thoughts?

When I look at the LCU panel the earliest TOE Up is 376 days. I recall checking a few turns ago and it was similar. I've never seen text like, Type/Mtn Brigade before either. It looks like LCUs are categorized in some way internally. Perhaps if the LCU panel had an indicator for units that have upgraded or maybe something in the Alerts panel on a per unit basis.

The Ship Upgrade panel is also very useful. Could something similar be done for LCU's?

I'm just throwing out ideas. No idea was is possible or difficult, or not.
