map zoom: zoom to clipboard maps

[BuckShot]

Wish: When zooming in on a field on the map, how about if you zoom in all the way, you see the nice new clipboard map of the field overlayed on the terrain features. It would be aligned with the field orientation.

The clipboard maps should also still be available by right clicking on the map like they are now.

I have considered doing this with a top down Isomorphic view. One issue is that it would make gunning from ships way to lethal.

Could have that view disabled for ships..?

Not sure what or why you are asking for?

I think he is suggesting the top down isomorphic view only when friendly GVs are in range of a base.

Not sure the proper terms but a friendly tank within a certain range of the base would act as a forward spotter relaying info directly to the ship gunner. So the tank being in that range opens up the base overlay on the map for ship gunners and artillery guns.

Could be limited to certain "recon" style vehicles like m3, jeep or m8. I think that would be to easy, even I could hit something with the base overlay.

The ability to point a mouse at something may not mean the artillery is going to hit it........... every time.

I hadn't thought of the naval bombardment use of it. Perhaps it should be disabled from ships. Hanger destruction would be point and click even more.

I just thought it would be neat for planning out jabo approaches.

I just had two requests:

1) when zoomed all the way out to more of a "global" view, could we limit the field icons to only the strats? I'm thinking two different icon range views for a Strategic and Tactical level.
2) when zoomed out passed an "immediate tactical area", please make friendly icons dissapear. Several times I haven't been able to locate a particular field as it was completely covered by player icons.

You can use .sf ## to show you the field. I zoom out all the way or almost all the way to see where the action is. It's the best way to figure out where everything is going on.
