We need a "Select All" button

Post by dicedtomato »

Instead of having to click 20 or 50 times to select ships for a large TF, could we have a "Select All" button that would assign every ship in the TF Formation Screen to the TF? More often than not, I assign every ship in a port to the same TF. But if there's 20 transports and 5 escorts, I have to click 25 times. It makes the game much longer and more painful.

Yep, that would be nice. Although you can have the computer automatically choose TF members for you, that doesn't necessarily select all of them for you.

I woudl like to see a Scroll select type of thing. you know Hold down Shift and the mouse and you get all you highlight. The CTRL Mouse woudl be nice as well. I do nto choose all the ships in a port often but I do select all of half of the 30 AK's/TK's/AP's etc. I am not looking at auto convoy but purpose built convoys with a mission. As it is I think I will wear out my moue button very soon.

I'll second that motion, takes way to long when you get AK/Tankers to assign them all, especially since I just received 100 of each as the allies .....time that could be sending moving individual subs around [X(]

I agree. Same as large stacks in LCU and you only move a portion like China often. Have a CTRL and Shift type select function.
