Various questions

Post by Chris21wen »

In the Commander's report

1. How do you know which groups are naval only
2. Under Type what does the pink colour indicate
3. Under name what does the purple/violet colour indicate or is that supposed to be turquoise


Relating to eligibility to fly naval patrol missions

How do you do this? There's nothing on the air group window to either give it eligibility or to say that it is. The only indication I've got is the violet/purple/turquoise or whatever colour it is on the commander's screen.


Finally what am I missing because I sure feel I missing something???

1. How do you know which groups are naval only

You can filter naval groups by selecting "Naval Only" filter under "Naval" at the bottom.
2. Under Type what does the pink colour indicate

It indicates selected AC type to be displayed.
3. Under name what does the purple/violet colour indicate or is that supposed to be turquoise

It marks all groups that are eligible to fly automatic naval patrols.

Manual p.160:
air group units not set to night only missions will
automatically fly naval patrol if they are not assigned
to any air directives and their HQ unit’s air doctrine for
Auto Patrol is set to yes.

I don't mean the filters at the bottom I mean the column 'Type'. When I looked this morning there appeared to be two colours, blue and pink. Now, at night, looks off white. But I've sorted it.

Thanks for the rest, my initial searches did not find what I was looking for, obviously not typing the correct phases.
