Air Range Visible on Map

[Cybvep]

Is it possible to highlight the hexes which our aircraft can reach? Counting can become tedious, especially during mid- and late-war. I figure that if it is possible with PARAs, then it should be possible with aircraft, too.

This would be nice interface improvement IMO.

I do not understand. When you click on an airunit it highlights all of the hexes it can move to or targets it can attack.

What are you asking?

I want the air range to be visible on map even if there are no enemy units nearby. Just as you can see how far your PARAs can be dropped, even if there is no hostile territory nearby.

You mean the attack range? The hexes for air units highlight where you can move to. For paras we created a new icon to distinguish when you click on a para unit what hexes it may be able to parachute to and the hexes it may move. (i.e. on the ground) The jump range is greater then moving.

We will keep this in mind, but this should have been suggested when we asked about ideas 2 months ago.

Yeah, the attack range, so that I can see at a glance how far my fighter cover reaches (this includes sea hexes), where my STRATs can reach the enemy u-boats etc.

I agree, this would be a nice touch.
