I always forget - dot commands to check health of objects
« on: November 21, 2014, 07:09:16 PM »
I always forget, don't play every day like some of you younger folks.  But, if I want to check the health status of a town, a base, a ship, a city strat, dar strat...... what is the dot command please?  I tried a few different searches on the subject and came up empty. 

Thank you

What is the reason we have the ability to view other airfields? I know we have had something like that since the dawn of AH, but I never understood it, particularly in a scenario environment.

Perfect.  Thanks Lusche.  I couldn't even think of the dot command itself, no wonder I couldn't get any search results.

Appreciate it.

I swear, HTC should get Lusche to do the rules/help file pdf for AH, sometimes I think he may know the game better than the designers themselves.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I have a notebook with tabs next to my computer to help my old brain deal with these things.  I printed the maps and have a tab for each map.  Then I have the dot commands, object damage list and that common key commands reference page.

On the maps I circle like ords then label them like Ords1 so i can easily see them.
