An option for decimals would be best. I have learned to live without it, but there are times.

One thing I would like is a function key to highlight all units that could use replacements. It is burdensome to have to click down a long line each turn looking for damaged units. If someone knows an easier way to do this I would love to know it.

I would think that a socialist would deeply approve of rounding everything down.

We actually prefer to RAISE all levels to equality, but I recognise and accept that you've been fed propaganda and therfore have an incorrect perception.

I'm sure that that is what you prefer, but as with communism, what you'd like is not compatable with reality.

How about this?

Don't use a decimal point on the display.

Instead of showing 2.7 strength, or 2 strength rounded down...   Just show 27.  Problem solved.

I'd rather see a 27-6 unit  than the other options.   Just take the decimal out of the display part if it can be done without screwing anything else up.

That's all well and fine until numbers into the hundreds show up with German corps, especially armored corps, at higher levels.

IIRC, a typical armored corps with a leader, in my last game, had a strength in the low 30's thus showing up as the 300's if the decimal is removed. [X(]

Yes, this would be a bit problematic. Imagine trying to calculate figures of attacker's 431+54+188+12 divided by the defender's 67 in your head.

But frankly, I would rather have that than the decimals back.

In fact, tomorrow I will try using numbers by the hundreds, just to see how it looks.

Shall we have our cake and eat it too?

Options give us options!

Personally I prefer the cleaner no decimal look.

Still, If WI team chooses to walk the road less traveled.

Why not add one more degree of "zooming in" that shows a large enough unit to display the actual unit strength?

Now that would qualify as a bell and a whistle.

  Ration strengths and vehicle numbers both? [X(]
Certainly the latter for German ToEs would be highly variable, even when at full strength.[:D]

Just one more step of magnification will do, I'm not talkin' about Satellite Capabilities. Otherwise we'd have to disable FOW in preferences.

Just so long as we can check that all their buttons are done up properly! Not asking much, really.

Actually, if you were quickly dividing the previous numbers (with the decimals in them) then it'd be one step less by dropping the decimals. [;)]

Of course, rounded off, you're not getting any accuracy.



swatter555 -> RE: Love new patch but wish to keep decimal strength not rounded up/down version ..how to change this? (10/28/2009 1:30:04 AM)

The decimals hurt my artistic sensibilities. I would cry great rivers if they were changed back.

Down with decimals. you can see it on the side when the unit is hilighted. I do not think a game is going to come down to a single 0.? but if it did that is the game I would want to play.



Strategiusz -> RE: Love new patch but wish to keep decimal strength not rounded up/down version ..how to change this? (11/1/2009 8:47:10 AM)

Decimal system looks bad (system x 10 bit better), but has one advantage: you can see straight away inflicted losses without clicking.



JFalk68 -> RE: Love new patch but wish to keep decimal strength not rounded up/down version ..how to change this? (12/3/2009 3:03:11 AM)

I still would like to see a decimal or at least have the option to turn it on/off



Tomokatu -> RE: Love new patch but wish to keep decimal strength not rounded up/down version ..how to change this? (12/3/2009 6:31:14 AM)

Maybe Santa will bring you one.[:D]



Uxbridge -> RE: Love new patch but wish to keep decimal strength not rounded up/down version ..how to change this? (12/3/2009 6:57:46 PM)

Then Santa will be shot! [:)]

Here in Brooklyn you need to know where you stand and who’s got your back.  We want to see when you punch it, how much it can take.  Decimals are the way to go.

If he's coming over with the decimals, I believe we have to hit him with something bigger. A rocket of sort might do the trick.

Anyway, if we have the choice, everybody would be happy.

Works for me.

Yes, I prefer not to have the decimal rounded.

However I like the clean look on the counters.

I want to see the exact stats.
