Steel Panthers: WaW / MBT vs JTCS

[keif149]

It still shows your unit names like Bo-Pl, B1, B2 but in white text. The yellow text highlights are nice as it really catches your eye. Same if you click on the company HQ, it highlights the enitre formation, but not in yellow I think.

Language from the manual:

Show/Hide Formation ID's


"Allows players to view all the units under a formations command ( B0, C0, D0 etc ) either by pressing the "Show/Hide Formation IDs" button in the HQ menu or by pressing the ' 5 ' key on your keyboard. Press once for on and again to turn this off. It allows players to see at a glance where all the troops under the direct command of a x0 are located"


"In the example above the B0 unit is a company commander ( B0 - CO ) and it's direct subordinate unit is B1. The actual selected platoon of this company is shown in Yellow. The platoon commander ( E0 - PL ) will slowly flash gold/yellow to indicate it's status as leader and the other units under it's command will be shown in regular solid Yellow ( E1, E2, E3, E4 ), The unit at the top without ID at this time is the Battalion commander ( A0 ). Had that been selected it would show as ( A0 - BN ) and any units directly under its command would show up as well. In some cases quite a number of units come under the A0's direct command and these are shown."

"for 2013 -- The game now defaults to showing the formation IDs. This saves pressing the 5 key to turn the feature on each time you start the game. The 5 key can still be used to toggle the feature off and on if so desired".
