Question: Terrain/Unit traits

[Havlicova]

Hello,

having a blast playing the game so far!

2 Questions:

- is it possible to view unit traits somewhere else than in the purchase menu? if not that would be a great change.

- is there an easy ingame way of checking which terrain is in a particular hex? So far it seems that you have to move a unit into the hex to see the terrain info panel, is that correct?

*edit:one more* - is there a difference in spotting units for recon planes, e.g. can they spot concealed infantry or submarines?

For your own Units ,select them then click on the Terrain Panel. It will Switch to Show the traits.

I also would like to read the terrain "stats" or at least see what it is by hovering over it.

Selecting an empty hex is currently not possible. On the patch list however!

As for recon planes, they do not have more spotting abilities but they are very cheap and can split their movement points in 2 seperate moves in 1 turn. This allows a recon plane to move in, spot enemy units and then retreat again if the current position is covered by enemy fighters or AA guns. Other air units do not have this ability - and cost a lot more - making it much more risky to use them for reconaissance.

Great! Came in here solely for the purpose of seeing if I had missed a terrain mouseover/tooltip.

Nice!!

For terrain stats, yes, but I mean unit traits like "concealable", or "carrier based" that show up in the purchase menu. It would be great if you could see them on the unit info panel as well.

You cannot see them in the unit info panel at the moment, but for any selected unit, click on the box with the terrain type's name (above the terrain type picture, bottom UI bar) to change it to unit traits display.
