Battle of Britain

Post by JudgeDredd »

You know, I did fire up Battle of Britain and played a one day scenario, but I was finding there were shortfalls, specifically
  • Wanting to see, at a glance, what aircraft are available. There is a screen which shows you types of aircraft, but that doesn't list how many you have
  • There are other examples of where the display falls short of what you may want to see "at a glance"
  • Targeting - not being able to filter enough...like, there's a button to show industries, but you can't "specifically" highlight oil refineries...or radar - you can't specifically highlight low radar
In the end, it was turning out too hard to make an AAR for it...I started, but I was starting to write more and more "...but I wish..."

So I can only hope things have progressed with this new version. To be fair, they may have been addressed in Bombing of the Reich (I never had that one).

If I do fire up Battle of Britain again, I may try and write AAR...but the game doesn't take too kindly to ALT-TABBING either which is a must for writing an AAR.

also from old game

you can click on Target List and it brings up a list of all target types, then click on the type you want and it brings up a 2nd list of detail targets of that kind ?

also on the target list, it shows only that type on the map while that screen is up
 
Radar, yea, here I got to agree, it only shows Radar, it does not really know High or Low, as far as target type is concerned, the game knows the difference between the two
 
if I misunderstood your statments, please correct me, and I will see what I can see ?
