Is there any way in BTR to find out what phase of the moon it is?

Reading Martin Middlebrooks' books on RAF Bomber Command; Bomber Command took days off when the moon was full, and bombed when the moon was dark.

Is there anyway we can see an indicator during the planning session telling us what phase the moon is?

over all it is there, look at the snap

the 14 is how bright the Moon light will be when the moon rises

before that, it will be Dark if it is night time :)

the bottom of the screen shows when the moon will rise and when it will set

no hassle

I wonder how many people know or use all of the little features in the game, don't know how many even use the full map view

HS,

Could you adjust the he night bombing plotting screen to ensure that this information about moon rise, set and phase of the moon is displayed. I forgot sometimes to check that before I start plotting missions.

Also are you adjusting jow the Estimated Time on Target is calculated and displayed? I like to have intruders follow BC in as a sort of an escort. The ETA indicated that they should arrive over the target about the same time as the the bombers bust this never seems to happen.

yea, i know

when you click to plot, that info goes away, we can look to see how it is put in, to see if it can be kept on screen somewhere

when plot a raid, it does not figure out the ToT tight in the plot screen, but it is right in the reveiw mission

after I get most of my raids in, I go there and then check to see if I want to adjust anything for timeing

nothing like having 30 raids all hit at the same minute :)

but I do like to have a new raid coming in, before the old raid is coming back, to keep the interceptors busy

we look into it
