That seems odd.

New feature of the game.. Since you always get the airfield and port size by simply placing the mouse over a base when ports or airfield increase you are now notified - both enemy improvements and your own.

It doesn't really matter that it's telling you that bases are upgrading (I'm pretty anal about checking the status of enemy bases anyways). It's most important that it's telling you that YOUR bases upgraded (which I check all the time also).

But I doubt they can separate it out, because if it's in the CombatReplay (like it probably is), that's a shared file, that you can can't hide info depending on side, as both players see the same thing.

This should all have been the resposibility of recon. No biggie but what IS a BIGGIE to me is when ships and aircraft are located atany enemy base,the port and AF icons come on. Any way to changethis so FOW and recon mean something a little more?

It doesn't gain you much, anyway. Let's leave it alone.

Ah, so. You talk good. So good I not know what you talk about.

Must be bad case of Zachary disease. Worst I ever see.

How is it a giveaway? In 1.3 I simply had to place the mouse cursor over a enemy base and it told me what size it was, and if I was taking copious notes I would see as they increase in size.

It's not like expanding facilities was all that easy to hide anyhow.

Status: offline 		I was referring to Ron's comment about the airfield and port icons appearing when the enemy has planes or ships at the base, even if you haven't observed the base (recon, search, etc.). That is a giveaway - you magically know that there are planes or ships there. And, by the absence of those icons, you magically know that there are not planes or ships there. In a given situation that could be a big tactical boost to you.
