Questions about the unit view in HCE...
When an enemy unit shows up, I find it troubling that I have to go to the group view to make an attack or intercept rather than from the unit view. Sometimes, when the battle is intense, it is too slow to move between the views for commands.
How do you guys over come this? or is it just me?
This group/unit view drives me crazy quite a few times. Enemy that I can see on the unit group (helicopters) but not group view. How could my staff group the enemy units when they shouldn't even know if they should be grouped.

Also, any way to change color to views? Say, I want to change the view to look like Aegis system (such as what the Harpoon ANW could do).

Thank you : )

Group vs Unit window
I normally play with IDs turned on so it is easy to associate a platform in the Unit window with the corresponding group, then a push of the Tab key flips me back to the Group window from the Unit window. You might find VitP's work in progress command card at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.ph ... st&p=12087 helpful. Personally I don't have a problem flipping back and forth but I do understand the gripe.

There is no (easy) way to change the colors of the views at this time. By getting out PhotoShop you can manipulate the colors in BS Builder created battlesets but it takes a fair bit of effort. To confuse matters further, at some point you'll see a wholesale change to a different map view looking something like http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.ph ... ost&p=9937

Hit the 'I' key, or alternatively, 'Alt+I'. Good hunting. [:)]
