What types of commands/controls do you wish you could have?

"Go to cabin"
A cabin like in sh3 but running on time compression.
So you could be in your bunk while traveling long uninteresting parts.
Maybe with a little map on the desk showwing your position.

There is already a command to concentrate fire.. from the bridge set your binocs on the target and on the command bar there is [Fire at selected target] looks like a DG wit a crossair to the top right...

As for a wish list, it'd be nice to be able (once you have them sighted) to call in positions for coastal artilery/aircraft to bombard, I know the game does this automatically, but it's annoying when you have a nice solution only to have the target take evasive action or to even be destroyed...

Also, to be able to radio **specific** messages to COMSUBPAC such as "no targets sighted during XX days of patrol" also, I know back in the days of SH2, you could radio for a weather report so you could prepare before hand your approach..

With Regards,

Really? I'm going to have to try this out. Does it have the AA and deck gun fire at it? Since later on, if you have a Balao you can have 2 40mm AA guns, and 2 5" deck guns with AA shells; it would be useful to focus-fire on aircraft or to wreck smaller ships in surface action.

Actually I believe its only for the Deck gun, however this will need to be confirmed.. usually when confronted by AC i tend to dive..

I'd love to have someone other than myself calculate range, speed and AOB IF I wanted the assistance while in the manual targeting mode.

Like maybe get these to work:

[Cmd335]
Name=Set_TDC_target_range
Ctxt=1

[Cmd336]
Name=Set_TDC_angle_on_bow
Ctxt=1

[Cmd337]
Name=Set_TDC_target_speed
Ctxt=1

[Cmd344]
Name=WP_Solution_to_target
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F130003
Str=1074

[Cmd346]
Name=WP_Compute_solution
Ctxt=1
Str=1076

THAT would be really swell!

What I've always wished I'd had implemented since SH2 days is a choice of scripted actions, like "Dive 1 hour before sunrise set speed slow, surface 1 hour after sunset, set speed 2/3rds" for cruising enemy waters, or "dive every 4 hours for sound checking", etc.

It's really tedious, in long cruises, to take care of every dive and suface. I only want to be bothered in alerts, messages. The crew and officers should be able to routinely cruise on their own, shouldn't they?

Krauter · 09-11-07, 06:30 PM

I agree with SilentOtto, but what happens when your order are to surface, even though the sky is filled with enemy a/c.. Not a very inviting prospect..
But in view of me having to repeatedly change depth during cruises just to check radar or recharge batteries, I thing osmething along those lines would be good

With Regards,
