a .dt command for all items on field

[dogtag380]

I don't think this exists, but it would be cool if you could put in one ".dt" command and get all items down on that base. 

Something like:

.dt f82all

It would show status of all fth, vhh, ords, radar, troops,(excluding town).  It would be nice when coming in on a bombing run or an attack run to know whats up and what's down.  Right now you have to type each one in individually.  Just a small change that would make it a bit easier to make attack runs.

just make it so when you click on a base it opens clipboard map of the base and shows a big red X on everything that's already down, with a number showing how many minutes left.

And gives you the optimum bearing and height for your bombing run, with a list of damaged but not destroyed field items, and how much ord they need.

And an option, maybe selected by giving a webcam a vacuous, bored look, to have AI fly in and complete the bomb run for you

Good wish but . . . its 2014.  The day of the .commands should have been over years ago.

This report already exists but it is difficult to get to on the clip board

Arena settings> objects > destroy objects will get you to a page that has a field selector in the top left hand corner. Select the field of interest and you will see the current state of all objects to do with that field. ( destroyed objects are greyed out ).

It would be neat to be able to go straight to this page  from the right click field drop down menu auto selecting the field concerned. 

The page has some CM functionality ( to destroy objects) which players cannot access. Whether this remains  visible or is removed for those without authority to use them is a minor additional consideration

Would prefer we do away with .dt to check field conditions……lets have some challenges in the game.  If you want to know how long until the bunkers come up note the time when you kill them and keep track using your watch.

Why? They are convenient and unobtrusive.

Using resources on a dot command is not necessary. Anytime you blow something up, write down the code.
It won't take you long to memorize them all.   ie.  bab  barracks, gng autoguns, bas manned guns, rdr radar, shp if you want to know which ship was sunk, 00 being the cv,
vhh for vehicle hangar......and it works at the strats too........C01, C02, C03  ect.

Once you know one dt dot command, you'll know them all in no time. Have fun.

It's easy enough as it is. Personally I don't think we should have dt commands.  I think the only way you should be able to check for downtime is if you are in a scout plane within a certain range of the base you wish to 'check out'.

It is very handy to check the damage to my own field, to see how long it will take for the radar, for instance, to come back up.

Wonderful, excellent recommendation.
Thank You kvuo75.
