In the LCU Production screen you list the manpower, armaments and vehicle needs for reinforcements and replacements. You also list what M/A/V you have on hand BUT there's no listing for how much you'll produce over the 30 days ( or whatever ) that you are viewing reinforcements for.

It would be helpful if a 4th column could be shown in which Tracker would calculate what M/A/V you will produce at current levels of production over the period of time being viewed.

Hi all,

I have another issue. Please let me know if you prefer I let you know by mail or here in this thread.
The issue is about bases that have been lost to the enemy.
It seems that I still can see their supply stock in the bases view.
But more important, it means that these stocks, the shipyard facilities and probably the same for ressources, Oil, industry and manpower are still counted in my Industry chart as mine. I discovered that by checking total given by the game and founding a difference in shipyard total which was simple to verify. Hong-Kong, lost long time ago is still counted in my witp chart in repair shipyard. The total stock difference for oil, ressources, supplies and Oil center, Ressources center and manpower center (the only one correct for me) can then be explained that way.
Hope it helps.

Do you see the base details (with supply) in the Bases panel? I just checked and bases lost do show as supply of 0 and no supply details in the panel at the bottom.

Ooops sorry, I just understand your question now.
I have just checked and the answer is No. I see an amount of supply in the column "supply" but I don't see the supply details in the base panel.

I would like to see a column added for the Aircraft data set to have what is the minimum AF size needed for a plane to carry max load. I'm playing Empire's Ablaze and with the different aircraft it would be nice to know this vs. trying to figure it out.

I there any way to get a global turn by turn readout of improvement in HI, Oil, Resources etc including a breakdown ( at the bottom of the page ) of which bases have increased their HI, resources, etc that turn ?

Do you know how this is worked out? I'm not sure without going to the infamous "roll the dice" Matrix search function.

Thesix is right about those numbers... Remember though single-engined level bombers ( the Japs have a few ) only need a Level 2 airfield to carry their full load. This makes the Ki-32 particularly valuable in the early war period in EA.

Minor problem
Tracker window cannot be resized horizontally below a fixed value.  It can be made bigger and Verticals OK.

Another sugestion

On the Leader screen filters that enable both active leaders and active units.  Currently you can only see assign/unassigned and no filter for active units.

Suggestions:

1. It'd be really handy to have the ability to remove columns we don't use. E.g. I never care about the "TOE Number" or ID Number in the LCU Production screen and it'd be nice to be able to devote that screen space to other columns I do use.

quote:


2. Float Platrol  do NOT show in the Air Production screen. H6Ks etc are listed as FLOAT not FLOAT PATROL so I think you need to fix this designation to get it to synch up properly.

quote:


3. The AIR UPGRADE screen works for the first model selected but then no longer works at all for me. No matter what model I select the information is the same as it was for the first model. It is like it is frozen at the first model.

quote:


4. When I look at some of the bases where the ALERTS are telling me supplies are less than required I find that same have negative modifiers in front of the tons of supply and some don't. Is this a bug?

quote:


5. It'd be great to be able to track supplies, fuel, oil and resources on a turn by turn basis on the SUMMARY screen.

quote:


Also when sorting it by HQ ALL of the HQs which have ARMY in their name do not work. I think this is because the name in the drop-down box is different than the name in the column ( column doesn't contain ARMY while drop-down box is ). So I think this is a typo bug and relatively easily fixed.

quote:


6. Any possibility of making it so that if we double-click on a base on the ALERT page ( or squadron leader) that the programme will take us to that base or pilot. It would just help me to quickly figure out just where this squadron leader who improved his stats was and WHY he improved his stats.

7. AIR GROUPS AND PILOTS screen. Would be great to add LEADERSHIP and AGGRESSION to the INSPIRATION and AIR ratings already there. I suggest Leadership, inspirations, air and aggression as the best order. This would help quickly see where bomber and fighter units had the wrong leaders.

Lastly, it would be really great if we could re-assign entire regions instead of having to go through base by base.

E.g. I have the Soviet Region, the Manchukuo Region, the Korean Region, the Northern China Region, Southern China and Siam Regions.

Now, I would like to link the Manchukuo and Korean and Northern China regions together so that for game purposes they are viewed as one "Super-Region" ( since the are all linked by rail and road nets) since that's how the game treats them in-game. Sure I can do this by re-assigning EACH BASE to this new super-region but that is tedious and quite buggy in that I have to delete old regions entirely to re-assign units.

This could be done quite simple by creating a "subordination page" and allowing players to flow-chart the relationships between regions. This change really is needed to get the most of the excellent economic data harvesting you have both done.

Wholesale customization is something we can consider, but I'd prefer to do it in a uniform manner and not ad-hoc (hint, hint, Damian...)

Maybe the perfect solution would be to provide a query manager tailored for the WitPTracker Database, something like the Query Manager in MS Access (or perhaps just something like IBM SPUFI from the DB2 environment, an interface to run user-written SQL query code against the database). Then everybody with the knowledge, time, motivation and energy could roll his own tailor made queries, output being displayed in a dynamically defined grid table. This would of course have to be strictly read-only. I confess I have no idea how difficult this would be to implement, but it would save you having to glue all kinds of knobs on to your datasets for people with special requirements.
