Insufficient in-game unit info

Post by BloodCat »

A lot of important unit data is inaccessible through usual means. For example, it's GC '41 and I'm landing on Crete. Some new units became available, PzII Flamm among them. Why this unit costs more than the most advanced tank? Of course, a bit of forum searching reveled that it has 'meng' thrait and so ignores entrenchment, but shouldn't such info be listed in unit description? Another example is Kradschutzen. Certainly it looks like they're some kind of force recon unit and so should possess a recon move -- but how should I know it without trying?

I agree that some of that information would be good in the unit info in game.....another one is rate of fire, did you know the PzII flam also has a rate of fire of 14?

Sadly as it stands the only way to know these things a head of time is to look in the equipment file.

And just so you know Kradschutzen don't have recon move....they're just pretty fast and fairly decent infantry

I also agree that the unit traits should be displayed in-game.

And, like a recon, they have three-hex vision but they lack recon's stop-start movement ability.

This is why we have the unit library.

Which unit library is this? the one in game does not give any of this information unless I'm missing something?

So can I have a look at your library with traits listed?
