Convoy lanes enhancement

[Kuniworth]

Would be better if you could toggle convoy lanes on and off on the big map. Its difficult to first go to the convoy map and then back again memorizing the lane.

very much agreed.

agreed

need sum hotkeys too

I like it the way it is, it makes it a little harder knowing where the lanes are, so it makes the game more better!I don't think in ww2 the wolf packs knew exactly where the convoys where at all time, sometimes it was a guessing game. This gives us a bit of that guessing game!

mustang96, I agree.

Perhaps, HC will give the USA and Canada the ability to select from multiple convoy routes in a future enhancement (as SeaMonkey suggested) so it becomes more of a guessing game.

Perhaps he will make the convoy routes visible to the Axis on the main map if Germany has an intel advantage over the Allies. Thus forcing an intel war between the Axis and Allies. Perhaps Intel Advantage +1 convoy routes appear on main map 25% of the time, Intel Advantage +2 convoy routes appear on main map 50% of the time as indicated by a single small ship traveling continously along the route (a bit of cool animation!) or as SeaMonkey suggested +1 reveals 33% of the route and +2 reveals 66% of the route on the main map.

I have to agree that the owning player should be able to view his convoy routes on the big map.

Toggle on / off....good suggestion Kuni.

This allows for pinpoint convoy duty for naval assets(escorting).

Lars and Edwin have some great ideas also and I sure like the idea of disclosure tied to intel levels, whoever's suggestion it is...doesn't matter.

At least from my perspective, it seems we all want to enhance "The Search" aspects of the naval-air model. I'm all in as long as it can be accomplished simply...abstractly...no micromanagement. If HC blesses it, it will get there.

I dont believe it to be that much harder to place a sub on the lane. Only takes time to toggle back and forth to get it right.

In time limit games it maybe would be cool but otherwise it is a pain in the a**

Hey Edwin P.

I like how you think dude! Keep those idea's coming!
