Suggestion - Need turret arc displays during battle

Recommended Posts

When you're angling the ship to maximize your armor, you often have to ride on the edge of turret's arc limits, and it is often hard to tell whether the targets are in the arc of every turret or not. I would like to suggest that there be some kind of indicator on the ship status display, of whether the designated target is in the arc of each turret. So that you know if you need to relax on the ship angling to bring more turrets to bear 

Also I would like a display of what the turret arcs are on the ship model itself during battle or the ship's status display. Ideally the arc display is hidden until you mouse over a weapon group, to reduce visual clutter.

To keep in minimalistic, maybe add a circle around each selected ship which is colour coded according to how many main guns can fire in any given direction (eg yellow at the bow and stern for 2 and green on the broadside for 4). That way, you could very accurately depict how many guns can fire in any given direction without overcrowding the UI.

Also, weapon arc display is especially important when you have ships you did not build for yourself, also especially true for torpedoes. It's often hard to tell which torpedoes are functional, and which ones are destroyed, making it hard to maneuver the ship to line up for a torpedo shot.
