Status: offline 		I know the devs are probably up to their ears with suggestions and wish lists at this point but I'll add this one anyway. Could we get a list of Aircraft Destroyed and Ships Sunk upon capturing an enemy Airfield/Port?

I love seeing the havoc taking an enemy base has caused and it's also something my troops should be able to verify rather easily!

What, no Mark VII Scuttling Charge? No Type 69 Limpet mine?

Status: offline 		I encountered a bug when playing UV and posted it there, but perhaps one of the testers should check that it is not occuring in WITP. When I captured Rabaul there were a half dozen badly damaged Japanese ships that were in port and unable to escape. There was no listing of ships sunk anywhere and no change in points to suggest FOW. I went to head-to-head mode and lo and behold, all the damaged ships had been repaired and returned to the ship pool in Japan and were listed as available. In my case they were only DDs and PCs but it would be really aggravating to have the enemy get a brand new BB or CV when you had thought you'd captured a hulk.

Not a bug in UV, ships in port get sent home

They will show up in xxx turns again at Truk or Noumea.

I then checked the sunk list - no listing......I also went and checked from the Japanese side (head to head) & it was not listed on the sunk list there or on the available ship list.....its like it just disappeared.....

There is a chance they can get away.

Look at Nik vs Pry thread and you can see it in action.

Yes, I realise I can look on the intel screen but I won't know what types of aircraft I destroyed and it's a lot more convenient to have all the battle results in one spot. Another problem with this work around, is that if two ports/airfields are taken on the same turn you won't be able to differentiate which base they were destroyed at.

This isn't a huge problem but would be a very nice enhancement and has been on my wish list while playing UV.

Thanks! That's exactly what I had imagined (or close enough! ;) ) For aircraft something like the following would be great!

23 X A6M3 Zero destroyed on the field at Lunga!

Yes, and they look pretty too, new artwork really looks much better then UV.

Just wanted to bump this one up and see if there were any takers.

True but at least you can differentiate the airframe types....in WitP you can click aircraft losses and it will list each specific plane type for # lost on that day and in total, and how they were destroyed.....so if Rabaul is taken and 60 aircraft are listed as destroyed, the aircraft losses screen would display the indiv types as (for example) 30 A6M and 30 G4M destroyed on the ground.

Believe the aircraft destroyed on base capture/combat report is on da list
