What do you mean by this? Like a pre-packaged number of units that can be loaded on, instead of having to research marine OOBs, and then add each piece of equipment/personnel one by one?

I'd like to assign mixed aircraft to a mission, and have the 1/3 rule apply to the whole instead of separately to each type.

This would include maintaining aircraft on station.

I think he's also talking about LoS on mountainous terrain. It's hard to know how much the radar could see if it's set on an uneven terrain. Plus it would be also helpful as an attacker if you plan on doing NoE flights or cruise missile strikes as you can direct them to the blind spots easier.

Status: offline 		Reference Point Editor -

One thing I would really like to help manage complex scenarios is a central place to manipulate reference points. When running a scenario I sometimes find it useful to decorate it with reference points with meaningful names (such as 'Primary Target #1' etc..). However, it's a right pain when I have to rename one because you have to de-select everything, rename it, then remember which ones to re-select etc... This is especially tedious, if like me, you like to have a nice clean view with only the useful RP's selected and/or when the scenario maker has also added a gazillion RP's for their own use.

So my idea would be as follows:
A simple list window which enumerates all current editable RP's which would allow rename/select/deselect. Nothing fancy, just a list control of all RP's.

Display empty capacity in aircraft fuel tank.

This would make it easier to work out how many planes can be refuelled by a tanker with known Bingo-free fuel on board.

Status: offline 		This is a big ask: GNSS Jamming

This would require two key elements 1) A method to create GNSS Jamming and 2) An CEP effect on GNSS guided weapons.

I think there are two ways to implement GNSS jamming: 1) A unit flag that indicates that GNSS is Jammed, or 2) GNSS Jammer ground units. 1) Would be controllable via the Editor or via lua. With area triggers it would be fairly easy to model GNSS Jamming. 2) Would need several "Generic" jamming vehicles (and people will undoubtedly request specific units) with a variety of effect ranges. Using units has the added benefit of allowing easy modeling of HOJ options that are included on SDB-II.

CEP Effects should impact all weapons that have the property "INS w/GPS Navigation" and lack a terminal seeker. For weapons that have lost GNSS signal for the entire TOF, CEP should expand by 500% (based on stated JDAM performance), scaling linearly if signal is not lost for the entire TOF.

I understand if this a feature that the devs want to keep reserved for the Professional edition, but even the lua implementation would add a realistic complicating factor for modern operations.

I know this has been suggested before but I wanted to add the yield selection part.

This allows you to go back and read things like orders and other scen editor's messages without worrying about losing them due to mis-clicks. Just open the .html file for <scen_name}MSG.html and you see everything that's been been sent, including time stamp, for the current game.

In the commercial category if we could have maybe three ships with a cargo capacity.
We do not need a lot: maybe one small, one medium, one large.

If this has already been asked for, please forgive me...

The cargo ships should all have cargo capacity, it shouldn't only be three of them. They are cargo ships after all...

Adding cargo capability for cargo ships doesn't have to come all at once. They could start with the dry bulk carriers, and then every now and then add it for other ships.

Status: offline 		I've mentioned this one before, and it has now listed as a choice (thank you), but I would again like to mention having the ability to tow other ships.

Quite often, I encounter a situation where an otherwise-good ship becomes disabled in the water. I do realize that the time restraints on the scenario would not usually be conducive to tow another ship, but there are times when it could happen. For example, if a Task Force was damaged in battle and found it necessary to withdraw from the area (rather than advance), I'm certain that they wouldn't just leave a disabled ship that has engine trouble behind, while all the others flee.

Not being a programmer, I'm not sure how difficult that this would be to create, so I couldn't begin to tell anyone how it could be done. I do realize that this topic is way down on the list of priorities, but I do find it interesting that the first topic on this list is "downed pilot", so you would think that if a rescue effort was important enough to save one guy, then certainly rescuing a whole ship must rank pretty high up there, as well.

In any case, this is just me throwing in my two cents for a topic that personally interests me. Truthfully, however, there are many other things that are on the list that I would vote for before I voted for long before I voted for my own suggestion. <G>

Thanks for taking the suggestion under consideration.

That could make for some pretty cool scenarios... like towing a carrier out of the gulf...
Or towing a carrier through a submarine threat...
Or even convoy duty...

Status: offline 		In many conflict situations, something happens to disable a ship (or plane--like in China with EP-3 Aries in 2001 in the South China Sea) and a political/military crisis develops as a result.

The USS Pueblo was a spy ship in 1968 and was captured by North Korea. (As a side note, the USS Pueblo is still being held in Pyongyang as a trophy, and it is still listed as a Commissioned Vessel of the USN.) While the real vessel did not suffer any propulsion damage, a disabled propulsion system could make for a good backdrop for a scenario.

In fact, in Tom Clancy's latest book, a US spy vessel does become disabled and has to be rescued. A race-against-time situation develops which could also make for a good scenario starter backdrop.

In any case, in my opinion, it is a worthwhile back-burner endeavor that could be useful.

Malfunctioning missiles/bombs/shells is already a thing I think.

Over penetration would be nice though.
