1.00.081 - Enhancement request for PT ship icon

Post by ncc1701e »

Would it be possible to enhance the display of PT boats in relation of detection level?

I am the Allies in these games. And despite my reconnaissance level has not identified a Patrol Grp, just one ship, the ship icon is telling me the truth already.

Would it be possible to put a generic ship icon in this case?

Here, for example, the reconnaissance level is clearly indicating a Patrol Grp. So, I can understand the ship icon is showing it.

Another example here. I have used a COMINT and despite the reconnaissance level is saying "Unknown Ships", I can see directly that there are only PT boats in Yap and in Ulithi...

It would be great to see nothing to guess there is something else. A carrier maybe? :lol:

The distinction is specific and on purpose so players don't use it as some sort of decoy.

3 PT boats repping an entire battle fleet kind of deal.

Yes but this is entertaining for the fog of war. And, for example, here is one case that you have perhaps not anticipated.
I have a PT boat in this harbor.

The Allies is indeed seeing a PT boat.

Now I am moving a submarine, just one submarine. And the generic ship icon is working fine.

See, the Allies are seeing two ships. Which ship? Hey, fog of war. Don't you think this is better? I do.
