Title: Show Field command to show where CV is, not where it came from.
Post by: Mongoose on July 23, 2014, 11:59:25 AM

  Right now, if you use the .sf command for a CV, it will show you the port where the carrier group spawns.  My wish is for the .sf command to show the present location of a friendly carrier group. 

  The .sf command is very useful when some calls that a base is under attack.  I can quickly see where it is, and get an idea of what is going on.  But when someone calls that a CV is under attack, I have to hunt for it the old fashioned way.  This would only work for friendly CV's, and not for enemy CV's.

Click on "task groups"
Doubleclick on the CV you want to find - the map will center on it.

Another instance where I learn something new everyday for AH.  But, it would be much simpler to change the .sf to reflect its location in some future update.

Thanks both Snailman for current fix and a +1 for this idea.
