Title: Battleship
Post by: ONTOS on March 29, 2017, 10:25:16 AM
The Carrier Group is designated with a "C". I think the Battleship Group should be Designated with a "B". It would make it easier and quicker to find.

That would be how they were identified on the USN strategy map board at USN Ops room HQ no? Looks like a chess board except it has all boat markers with the descriptor and the group # - kinda like we have our map. Cept it looks like a huge kids play map. :D

The carrier task group where the carrier has the O'club and map room is numbered as C###. The BB has the same C###, so if anything the BB task group where the battle ship has it's own O'club and map room should be changed to B###. The ship object is already named "BB" in the terrain editor.

You guys know the BB can be added to a CV task group while building a terrain in the terrain editor and it simply becomes ship number 6 and it's guns can be selected from the CV's hanger?

It will at some point, but when I decided to add the icon, adding a new field type required more validation time then I had that day.

Other things with the field type is default configuration stuff. I.E. what planes are available.

 I know that BB is the correct name for Battleships, as CV would the correct name for that Carrier's.

Adding a BBtsg0 to each port like Hitech asked me to do on BowlMA would turn CraterMA into a madhouse with it's ship game areas. With the search for quicker action these days, the BB would be the big sinking target for off hours bombers along with a scourge of the island setups and shore bases. There would be some intense and quick marine battles.

I admit I was worried about adding the BB to my terrain, I'm glad Hitech requested it.

Always quick on the draw with those answers and explanations. <S>
