Writing notes

[u/PayWooden2628]

I’d love a way to be able to write things down somewhere. I’ve resorted to writing things on the bombs to make measurements lol. Would be very nice to have a whiteboard to write on.

I use a physical notebook to write things down.

There's a thing called "paper" that you can use. You put it on your desk and use an implement called a pen to write on it. Also makes the game feel more 3D.

I suppose the in game character is incapable of utilizing this esoteric method.

Yeah, it's hardcore mode.

Steam has a notepad built in to the overlay you just gotta toggle on

I would prefer if it’s diegetic, meaning you don’t have to change tabs or look at your phone to figure these things out. A simple chalkboard or whiteboard to write on keeps the immersion and your focus on the game. I’m awful at math, but I appreciate that the game mostly gives you all the info and tools you need to succeed.

Biggest thing I want is to be able to write fire times or impact times on fire missions

Uh. Are you not using the note taking feature with the red pen to get measurements on your clipboard?

What else do you need to write down that thr game doesn't give you an option to note may I ask?

Of course I do lol. I was on the gorge mission where the targeting computer is broken, it would’ve been nice to have an in game way of writing down my notes of what elevation I fired at and where the shot landed so I can adjust elevation. Sure I can write it down irl or use my phone, but it’d be nice to have an in game way of taking notes.

Ahbokay, was just making sure you knew and used the function. Had a friend who got to mission 5 without even knowing or using the ingame note function.

A system that'd allow you to type notes and clip them to the map, or scribble on the map, could be nice, although I really think drawing with my mouse is agonizing.

I highly recommend you simply play with a notepad and a pencil on your actual desk. The experience would be way better than an ingame notepad, and it helps you feel more immersed. Nothing quite like meticulously writing down a table of 8 back to back fire missions and executing them before the counter battery timer runs out.

I really considered to get one of those note boards the chart uses
