After 11/43 it is possible to get Sikorsky copters.
What a pleasent surprise,and even better you can load 1 man{sniper} onboard.

Was that added new in the recent upgrade or was copters always availible after 11/43 before the upgrade?

Sorry if this seems like dumb question just thought i'd ask.

Yes, it's been available that date for years.

If you click on any unit in a company the unit designation ( B0, B1 etc ) will appear over the unit , white in most maps but green in winter, with the actual platoon you are clicked on showing up in yellow so you can easily find all units in a platoon and company, by pressing ' 5 ' and you can turn this all off by pressing ' 5 ' again so it doesn't clutter up the map. There's a button in the HQ menu that allows this to be turned on and off but most of us used the '5' key

Shows a company with one platoon highlighted

Have had time now with the new Arty Routine, and I must say I like it a lot. One now has to put more time and effort into planning, recruiting and most certainly attempting to keep eyes on the areas fire missions are required. Well Done BRAVO ZULU!!!

Is this something new, because I have been playing SP off and on for ages, and it seesm this is the first time I've seen this, and it's quite an oversight if it was true before this last version. What I'm talking about is getting a unit, any unit, and firing all it can for that turn. What used to always happen, was even if you had all weapons ready for that last shot, only the main weapon would fire, or I assume the top weapon only if the others were turned off. It would do that every blasted time. Now it's firing all the weapons as it would for any of the other chances to fire before the last chance. I guess somebody besides me must had noticed that (forgive me for I haven;t read all this thread yet) and it sure is a relief to see it's fixed now.

For my own sense of the thing, I never thought about complaining that it was a game defect, but just accepted that there was some deliberate reason for that going on and just never seen it explained or even brought up before. Like wow, if this version fixed that and nobody did anything to fix it.

Oh, I just knew I had a question still. I see talk of adjusting aircraft altitude, but how is this done ingame?

It's called smoke "ammo" i'm sure some would be avialible on an ammo truck.

That nice but it's not AMMO to the game in the same way HE and AP are.

OK?

Helicopters are adjustable in game not aircraft. The only other thing you may have read was bombers fly at high atitude whereas fighter bombers fly at low but that's preset in the game not adjustable
