"Ships Sunk" statistics needs work!

[unmerged(76317)]

Here's a screenshot of my "Ships sunk" page right now:

I have two problems with it:

1. There's no way to sort the rows by date! This used to be a great way of looking back at your previous naval victories/defeats in a sensible order. Please put it back!

2. The columns are so narrow that half the ships' names don't fit. What ship is "HMS Des..." ? I mean, apart from the statistics pane being a bit too small for high-res monitors, there's lots of space inside the pane that's not used at all right now.

Other than that, I'm quite pleased with myself for managing to sink the HMS Resolution with the Graf Spee..

Edit: clarification.

Good post, add the flags back in aswell for quicker recognition of country!

 

[unmerged(76317)]

Yeah, that too.. more information is always better! (okay, not ALWAYS.. but at least in this regard!)

 

[Blast2hell]

yeah sunk date, and flag would be cool. Columns wider also for sure.

Might look over in the user modification forum to see if it can be done right now through mods.

The English could be better as well.

Sinker Ship => Ship Sunk
Sinker Type => Type Sunk

Can't think of something good for Sinker Country right now, maybe Owner of Sunk Ship. Generally in English (at least in all three dictionaries I own) Sinker is a weight attached to a fishing line or net, or in Naval terms a weight attached to a mine.

Agreed.

Just a sec... Left side is for sunken ships, right side is for sinking (=responsible) ship.

That's why the English used is rubbish. Sinker does have the definition "one that sinks" (an Americanism I think) which could be applied to either ship.

 

[Katarian]

So the columns would be better named


Owner | Ship Sunk | Type | Sunk By | Type | Country


That is a lot clearer to me at least.

Not an Americanism, at least I don't think so. It sounds weird to me, as an American. Katarian's revision, however, sounds perfectly reasonable.

I agree. It is not possible to see after a while what happens. Need a sort by Date and Region!
