It would be nice to streamline the aircraft selection and loadout.  I like the current system, but when you are at a damaged fields, it can be frustrating.  

The way it works now at a damage field, you need to go to the hanger and try everything to find out what it will allow.  You reduce fuel, get rid of drop tanks, ect, then find out you can't even fly from that field.  The same goes for field guns and GVs.  Than you move to another field and launch to find you forgot to add these things back.

Maybe a list in the tower showing the field status would help.

Thanks,

I rather like the current system, its easy to use and its quick alot of times it doesnt even slow me down to find out, that oh the fuel is down to 25% or there is no ordinace on the field.  It tells U before U even get to choose  plane.  Its not a bad system.

I didn't say it can't be done now, or that it was hard.  I feel it would make gameplay better by knowing the status from the tower without having to run around the field and click on things.  This is the Gameplay feedback message board.

How does this let you see the status of the field from the tower?

I tell you again since you missed it and I'll go real slow ok

1. when u enter ah you are placed at the field that was most recently captured

2 dar shows you where the fight is

3. you click the field you want to fly from

4. before you goto to hanger click map if ur gui is at its fastest boom u are instantly there....no running around field lol... it will tell how much fuel.. if ord is up are troops enabled....... etc all you need to know....... then click hanger get your plane and fly

Hows is that "running around the field" ?

How are 2 clicks so bother some ?

Never meant for this to get ugly but seems to me you are just nitpicking ........   :)

take it with a grain of salt.......

point of my 1st reply was that you are wrong. There is an easier way then your trial and error method.  Again preflight checklist .......  :)

Wow, you're right Wotan.  It is easy to go to the map room, scroll through the available fields and click on yours.  Why would anyone possibly want to save some time by having that information available to them for the particular field they're at in the tower.  Fuel %, Ammo %, Troops, FH BH VH Stat right in front of you in the tower.  Man, that would suck, I'd hate that convenience.

You do know that you can pour yourself a new bowl of Cheerios.  You don't actually have to eat the bowl that your roommate pissed in!
