unit viewer

[welther]

I don't think there is anyway to view units like in 1946. I know you can see the plan you fly and in-game see which active unites there are. But I would like to see a menu-based "unit viewer". 

The story behind it was that I was flying the Ice ring campaign and was sent to hit AA guns. But I didn't know what to look for. I attacked an airfield and never saw what was hitting me. Same with a reconnaissance flight and spotted loads of tanks; trouble is: I didn't know what side there were on. I can identify a Tiger, Panther, Sherman and some others, but I would like to have the option to go through them and search for them in a viewer when in doubt.

Not sure what you mean here. You can have Icons On, which shows the type and distance of all units on-screen. You've got Map Icons which shows all units on the map. You can use Shift-F2 and Ctrl-F2 to view respectively all friendly and enemy planes, and Shift-F5 and Ctrl-F5 to do the same thing for ground units.

He is talking about an ingame „sturmopedia“ like there was in IL2 46. 

thus he could train himself to distinguish a pzkpfw iv from an T-34 with the ingame models. 

 

Not a bad idea in my opinion.
