donaldseadog Posted December 10, 2022 Report Posted December 10, 2022 It's hard to believe I've made no wishes since the last wish list condense in 2011. But here we go... 1\ In PE the exported database file having a name other than the std database name, or better the ability to name the database file or place it in a selected folder. just to make it easier (?) import and export from the same folder as the executed PFBuild file. 2/ In scenario Editor an indication of the lat and long of a selected unit or lat and long of a mouse click position in the group or unit window. 3/ Be able to instruct an ASW aircraft with asw sensors but no weapons to attack a sub contact (F1) so that it will attempt to get a fix on a soft contact. 4/ (new) Have some way associating an air group to a IFR tanker similar to the home base association so that the air unit is happy to fly around while in range of the tanker without requesting to RTB. 5/ If a surface group (or sub group) detect an incoming torpedo and decide to activate sonar all group units activate sonar but often only one unit is in short range of the incoming torpedo and the enemy then have a higher chance of detecting all units. I would like only the unit at risk by the incoming torpedo activate sonar. This is mostly for benefit of AI side. 6/ When an aircraft has expended its loadout and refuels in air it's range will be it's naked (so to speak) range not the range normally associated with its loadout. 7/ When getting staff message regards the range of an ac group that has been assigned to conduct an intercept, I'd wish the 'select' option selected your assigned intercept group instead of the target enemy group. (see below comment with screen shot) 8/ in PE, when looking at a weapon be able to get a list of mounts (and loadouts?) that use the weapon, and in mounts get a list of classes that use the mount etc. You can do this long handed via the CSV files in the commondb subdirectory, but it is rather clumsy. 9/ Having mounts on aircraft, or some way of having aircraft gun turrets (eg B-17) operate outside of the aircraft's gun arc. 9/ An aircraft 'size' (maybe) that is in line with the size of modern small drones so that an eg ship with aircraft capacity of one can carry 2 or 3 or what ever drones instead of one helo. 10/ Ability to instigate air intercept (F1 Attack) an enemy unit selected in the unit window. It can be the standard F1 attack (of the group) but currently you need to guess the group of an approx fix unit. 11/ A fine movement of the unit and group window focus, eg a shift arrow that moves the window focus a fraction of the movement of an arrow key. 12/ In SE, when setting the probability of a unit or group occurring, be able to link it to another unit or group so as to be able to set conditional occurrence, eg mutually exclusive. 13/ In SE be able to assign a course (including attacks) to aircraft launch (patrols and attacks). 14/ Orders writer to have a 'Save As' option (OK this is just being incredibly lazy to avoid doing three texts saves and remembering how to use windows clip board) 15/ when ai turns on 'enemy' radar it turns on instantly but periodic, not continuous. Maybe it turns off after some event eg the platforms performs an attack or the triggering threat is no longer detected. 16/ BOL torpedo. Two things I'd use it for, firing down a bearing of a suspected sub and creating (with luck) a mine that could be laid by vessels (a kind of slow torpedo). 1 Quote
donaldseadog Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Posted January 22, 2023 added lat long indication in the scenario editor. When adding facilities or groups and wanting a particular lat long (eg a generic facility for a real location not in database). Quote
donaldseadog Posted April 12, 2023 Author Report Posted April 12, 2023 added ability to F1 and ASW aricraft with asw sensors but no asw weapons to hunt and obtain fix on sub soft contact Quote
donaldseadog Posted May 9, 2023 Author Report Posted May 9, 2023 added to top post of topic: 4/ A penalty for damage to neutrals, especially biologicals. 5/ If a surface group (or sub group) detect an incoming torpedo and decide to activate sonar all group units activate sonar but often only one unit is in short range of the incoming torpedo and the enemy then have a higher chance of detecting all units.

donaldseadog Posted May 28, 2023 Author Report Posted May 28, 2023 Added adjusting AIChance setting for groups in Scenario Editor. Quote
donaldseadog Posted September 28, 2023 Author Report Posted September 28, 2023 removed AIChance setting wish as testing doesn't seem to make much difference, if any, to game play. also added a IFR related wish regarding aircraft that have expended their loadout. also expanded my wish regarding PE import and export 1 Quote
donaldseadog Posted October 17, 2023 Author Report Posted October 17, 2023 New wish regarding what is selected from advice window when intercepting a new content. Quote
TonyE Posted October 17, 2023 Report Posted October 17, 2023 Selected group, that looks like a way to increase the player efficiency and click less, I like it. 1 Quote

donaldseadog Posted June 8, 2024 Author Report Posted June 8, 2024 New wishes, initiate F1 Attack of an enemy by selecting a unit (can be yellow approx fix) from the unit window, and a fine move of the focus of the group and especcially unit windows Quote
donaldseadog Posted January 11 Author Report Posted January 11 added Having mounts on aircraft, or some way of having aircraft gun turrets (eg B-17) operate outside of the aircraft's gun arc. Quote
donaldseadog Posted January 26 Author Report Posted January 26 New wish added to first lost, when ai turns on 'enemy' radar it turns on instantly but periodic, not continuous. Maybe it turns off after some event eg the platforms performs an attack or the triggering threat is no longer detected. It is such a sitting duck move by ai to turn on continuous radar at any provocation and leave it on. 1 Quote
