Shift-y: I don't get it

Post by MarkShot »

I have tried this both in WITW and WITE2 (beta).

It is suppose to allow showing ADs on the map/edit in the Air Phase, and after the Air Phase showing the results summarized.

Three key or button options:

Off
Show only ground
Show all

In both games, I have created every possible mission type, and don't see any difference between the two display modes.

Thanks.

I have a gut feeling that this was actually working in some of the previous versions? But now that I checked it, "All Targets" and "Ground Targets Only" doesn't seem to make any difference.

I see the rollover and the manual talks about filtering to just those aimed at ground targets. What it really does though is either show you all directives, or just those that are checked on (unchecked air directives in the right menu have been deactivated). This is how it works in WitW and is my memory of what this is. If at some point we intended to change what it does, we clearly didn't (or it went back to the way it was). AFAIK, this is an issue with the rollover and the documentation as the game is functioning as it was in WitW. I'll ask Roger if he knows if this was ever working differently.
All understanding comes after the fact.

Joel,

I am in WITW at the moment, but I really does as you said. I will post link for Loki about this for the living manuals. Thanks.
