newbie question about interface

Post by proflui »

In the airbase icon, what does rdy/tot mean? the airbase has a lot of ready aircraft so why it is only 59. Also is tot means total? Why is it shows as 0.

For the on map pop-up, what does det means?

Thanks for all the help!

One thing I hate is so many abbreviations - they should go through and where space allows get rid of them.

Incomplete answer.



det: detection level. Page 149 in the manual.

missing: Page 190 in the manual.

In the airbase, with a capacity of 200, there are the following planes: 29 Yak-9D, 92 IL-2M3 and 53 Pe-2. The two first 1 engine, while the last 2-engines planes.

29 + 92 + 2x53 = 227.

227-200 = 27, this is the missing capacity of the airbase for the number planes.

Resurrecting an older post here.

Anyone able to answer the original poster's questions?

- in the airbase icon on the right, the "rdy xx / tot x" numbers don't seem to match up with anything related to the actual number of aircraft stationed at the airfield (Sometimes it's lower or higher than the aircraft numbers, including adding up all ready, damaged and pool aircraft at the field) What does it actually mean?

- also the airbase info in the map popup window shows Airbase name followed by capaicty, Damage, something called "Det" and Fzn. The "Fzn" is obvioulsy related to whether the airbase is currently fronzen or not, but I can't find anything about "Det" in the manual. And it doesn't seem to have anything to do with detection levels. Most airfields have a "det" of 1 but some are at 2. What does it even refer to? Besides this information only shows for friendly airfields, which obviously would have a maximum detection level since they belong to me.

I also would add the game should try wherever possible to use fewer abbreviations in the interface and make generous use of tooltips.

Its a bug. I reported it a few months ago but its low priority so the devs havent gotten to it yet. Just ignore it.
