Ever had a lack of "inspiration" when filling up a claim report/description? Or don't know what to write in a claim report/description line? Or simply don't want to think too much about what you should write in a claim report/description line?
If your answer is yes to any or all of those questions than this might be handful to you:
Based on the excellent idea from andqui of what should or could be written in the claim report line I created a template in Microsoft Word (requires Microsoft Word 2007 or higher) which allows the player to create a simple claim report/description by simply choosing thru Combo Boxes information such as:
- Number of enemy spotted/attacked
- Type of enemy aircraft spotted/attacked
- Relative altitude (to player) of enemy aircraft
- Direction of enemy (relative to player)
- If you spotted/attacked the enemy aircraft alone or together with your wingmen
- Enemy aircraft heading
- How you approached and engaged the enemy
- Number of approximate rounds fired at enemy
- What enemy aircraft from the enemy formation was attacked
- How the enemy aircraft went down
- Which side of the lines did the enemy aircraft crashed
In the end of the report template there's also a text box that allows the player to type/write the approximate location where the enemy aircraft crashed.
The text in the report template can of course be edited and changed to whatever the player desired to.
Here's how the template looks when it's opened:
Using the Combo box which sets the number of enemy aircraft spotted:
Using the (only) text box where the player writes the place where the enemy aircraft crashed:
An example of a report after all the combo boxes and text box are filled in:
(note that all the player needs to type/write is the place where the enemy aircraft crashed)
After this all the player needs to do is to copy the report and paste it in the claim detail line in WOFF.
