Air Support 'List' - 9/2/2010 7:27:48 PM

Status: offline 		I saw a screen shot in which somebody was able to display a list of air units that had nice info in making a choice. When I click the 'list' option for air support I just get the nato icons Which is no better than clicking all and deselecting units since both give no information on the unit make-up.

Is this another screen zoom issue? Doesn't seem like it should be since it's just the text in the list that I'm not seeing.

Thanks

From the Case White air units it's a bit tricky to tell, although there are some ID to key off of to decide which units to select. Since we can't rename units and thus make some air units names more descriptive we need to live and understand the given names.

Not the same as in your detailed war room write-up (post #17 or #18).

Mine looks identical as well. Incidentally I hadn't thought twice about it, although I didn't know what each unit did initially.

R = Recon
D = Dive Bombers
B = Level Bombers

I don't see any data in that write-up that you can't get. To get the detail of the single flight of planes, he would have to click the flight with the entire unit selected. And not from the list screen.

Status: offline 		Well, in the war room write-up, Barthheart said that he clicked on "list" to bring up various units for the potential airstrike (either post #17 or #18). I just would like to see the same popup detail when I click on "list" as the writeup indicates.

Try right clicking to see what type of planes each unit consists if.

Not a big deal and doesn't affect gameplay. Just one of those nice to have things.

Status: offline 		yeah, I have not seen a reply from Braveheart yet. Guessing we have the same game version since there's only a 1.00b patch which I have.

So Braveheart please do tell how you got that list in your posting? I like it much better as a default for me would be great.

Don't be shy to tell us your secrets!
