Hey Guys,

Just been playing a little and I have 2 suggestions -:

1. Is there anyway in the database that the ship/aircraft/weapon images are clickable so that they can be enlarged?
I noticed a couple of images that have a lot of info/detail and would be good to be able to expand them and read that detail.
Add to this the ability to add multiple images and I think it would be great!

2. Would it be worth adding a Wikopedia link alongside each weapon/ship/aircraft/radar/sonoboy etc.
Some of the items have details but would be good to read more information without having to type out the names of each item.

Also (I know this is number 3 ;) ) when the game first came out I request the addition of putting targeting information in the top right that shows target name, time to target, range to target etc against each weapon or aircraft. I know it was added to the register, just was wondering if we will see it any time soon?

Cheers
Gecks

As for number 2, not 100% but I don't think you can link to wiki in a commercial product, and I doubt there is a wiki entry for every component, plus it adds another level of data entry for the DB guys. Just minimize and type it into Google. Problem solved. Though, I would like to see a copy function allowed in the DB viewer for ease of that process, but I think I understand why there isn't one.

Some of the players are slowly adding information to the database so it appears when you click on an entry. If you go to
http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=1876
you can download the most recent descriptions. However, there are still many gaps. If any players are interested in participating in a project to write some of these descriptions, PM me, and I'll set you up!

You can link to wiki in a commercial product, why not?
Paradox Interactive does it all the time - I have their Crusader Kings 2 where they link to wikis from medieval kings etc.
