1) Is it really necessary to remove ships from a division and then add them to another division? Why not permit a lateral move from one division to another, if space is available? Add an option for 'None' to quit all divisions.
2) Please separate the 'commander' options from the 'divisions' options. These get referenced almost every turn and it is a lot of clicking to get down the tree each time. Best yet, add keyboard shortcuts and list those on the menu.
3) When sorting officers by rank... it sorts by the alphabetic start of the rank name, not the rank itself. Hence if Rear Admirals are at the top, Commanders are next and Captains and Admirals below that. This is highly aggravating.
4) On the tactical screen, changing course is aggravating. If I click on the course window and try to type in a new course I have to type it in, move the cursor, delete the old numbers by backspacing, not by highlighting and deleting... and if I try that on the squadron course rather than with an individual ship, it just moves along to the next turn.
This has been broken since RtW zero... please at least make the two course boxes work the same way. Letting me type in a course would be nice, but... same function for same appearance should be a cardinal rule.
5) The 'hull too narrow' is a bit annoying, if only because it lacks an explanation. Yes, it says you can drop speed or go from triple to double turrets. Is there some research you can do, and if so could that be listed? Shouldn't the 'change hull form' thingy under graphics say that it doesn't actually change the hull form, just the appearance?
6) The game frequently overlaps A and B, X and Y and V with R or W turrets. This spoils what is otherwise a really nice graphical improvement. Also, as the secondaries have that nifty 'auto placement' button, could there be something like that for the mains? A lot of my DDs have D and E mounts floating in midair alongside.
7) Modify the ship log to show 1) hits scored, 2) hits received or 3) both. A button to cycle through the options would do it.
8) Why can I assign officers to squadron commands from the officers screen but not assign commanders to DD flotillas from there? And while we're at it - why is the DD flot number 6 and not 8?
9) And last, but not least: when designing a new ship class, please check the proposed class name against existing ships - like you already so when building a ship.
