Cancel Apply To All Units of Same Type

Post by actrade »

In the Big Red One campaign, when setting up SOPs, the game has the ACR cav rgt Bradley units listed as the same type as my Kiowas scout helos. When setting SOPs for either and then hitting the "apply to all units of the same type" I realized this and decided I didn't want my scout helos to have the same SOP as my Bradleys. However, there is apparently no way to undo this (no cancel). Once we see the units that the game decides are the same (even if they aren't), we should have the ability to cancel before implementing. FWIW, hitting the escape key will get rid of the window with the listed units, but the changes have been made even if you don't hit the proceed button.

They Apply when the Apply button is hit, and then the dialog shows who was "changed". We will have to see if we can show who will be affected and then allow selection and cancel options, but that will be a while as that code is complex with the per order per unit impacts.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Ok thanks. Even if it takes some time I think it would be worth it as Bradley units and Kiowas are hardly the same, yet if you choose "all of units of same type" the sim assumes they are. I don't think most would make that assumption.

The "Apply SOP to same Type" option for me as well resulted in unexpected units receiving updates. I initially considered this will apply changes for example to all M3 Bradleys.
