warspite1 -> RE: What is Your Favorite Form/Display Feature? (2/26/2016 9:02:38 AM)

I think the game is a work of art [&o] (with one exception).
The map is beautiful, the zoom-in levels are perfect and the readability of the various forms and displays is excellent (so often overlooked - AEGOD take note - but so important for us older folks).
Could one or two forms be improved in terms of operation and display? Probably. But even where that is the case, we are talking about fine tuning what is perfectly workable and more than fit for purpose.
The game forms are packed full of all the information required and set out well for ease of reading.
The one exception? I dislike the convoy system intensely and, if I'm honest, does affect my desire to play more.
A recent example was a PBEM where my opponent told me to use 13 Japanese build points. The display said 11 available. After ages mucking around I managed to reduce the available points to 10 [8|], before getting back to where I started. I needed my opponent to tell me what to do to get 13 available. This is a computer game - it should not be like that. Now don't get me wrong, this example probably confirms I'm a bit of a thicky - but that is not the point. If 13 points are available I should not need to spend ages (and ultimately be unsuccessful too!) in trying to get the program do what the rules state is possible.
If this problem could be fixed the game forms and display features would be a 9.5/10 - note not 10/10 because, after all, 'perfection is an elusive goal' as a wise man once said [:)].
