Re: USA/USAF Units in USMC OOB
roger that, Suhiir. I appreciate all the work the team does to make our baby more enjoyable and realistic. if the team ever finds the time to comb through the scenarios and campaigns yet again, I plead that #12 units be sorted in some sort of unit class order concurrently. it's a bear finding template units scattered all over a list with units in no particular order
regarding increasing the number of units beyond 999, I remember how liberated I felt when we went beyond 255. still, if there was some way to have multiple iterations for each unit, say unit 008A for an M4A3E8 with medium tank loadout, 008B for an M4A3E8 with close support tank loadout, 008C as obsolete tank, etc., then from the unit selection menu, by picking unit 008, you can cycle through all the different iterations for that unit without tying up unit slots (got the idea from how digital cable TV channels work). this would also cut down on hunting through the entire list for multiple entries for the same unit in differing roles/weapons loadouts, like fighter-bombers and rifle squads. by arranging units in an array of say 255 units with 15 sub-units, it would leave room for expansion (3825 iterations in all). perhaps this is an idea more appropriate for the post-2020 project, if the team is already contemplating going beyond?
