It has special order buttons for both single ships or the fleet formations, as well as formation manouvres such as line abreast turns, simultaneous turns, parallel turns etc... Maybe a similar quick order interface for these formations would help to control them during formation changes or have more manual control over the fleet OH! I like this thought. Drop down action commands for formations on screen.. YES PLEASE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall99 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I think within one week we will receive an announcement about the arriving patch. I think in this weekend. Than in 1-2 weeks later we will receive the next patch. If I tip this correctly, I will go and buy a Lottery ticket Edited October 14, 2020 by Marshall99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just me quads, and fat 19-20 inch guns. Too bad L4D3 got cancelled. Played the second one alot when i was a kid. Never fully understood the half life hype. But i guess you needed to play the older games when they got released to understand how it innovated gaming. Which was before my time. anyway. Another thing they could add is the ability to lift up sunken ships from the sea bottom to restore them like the americans did at pearl harbour. This would only be possible in very shallow water. But i guess this is way to obscure a mechanic to implement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i guess this is way to obscure a mechanic to implement. It would be nice if we would connect it with possibility to attack opponents ports. (by submarines for example) I don't think that it would be neccesarily hard to implement if we would make this the same way as submarines will work (without actual battle but only with calculation) Here's how I imagine it: You would assign a new task to one of your submarines - attack the enemy port *insert name here* and maybe you could choose the level of risk this submarine should take (like in Hearts of Iron) After the submarine arrives to the port it would Attack the next turn. By the stats of your submarine, stats of the port and it's defences And by the risk you attached to your sub the outcome of the attack would be calculated. If you manage to sink one of the ships in the port the enemy could decide to raise the ship (which would cost certain amount of money). And this could also be calculated (for example based on the resistance of the ship's hull). By the way: It might also be possible to raise the attackers ship if it's lost during the attack (like it happened to Curie in Pola).

I guess in the way you describe it, it won't be that difficult to add it then. I would add on top of this the possibility to also raise ships after a plane attack on ports. this only makes sense IF CV's are added however.
