i have been pondering a way to know which vehicles are damaged and which are not easily. i am thinking of a "Battle Ready" checkbox.

when you look over your car and it is ready to your satisfaction you simply check "battle ready". when you use the vehicle in an event the box unchecks until you look over you vehicle and manually check it again.

the BR status would simply appear as a short one character column on the vehicle tab and vehicle list at jakes/etc, much like the current X mark to remove a vehicle from a squad on the vehicles tab.

not as good as saved vehicle setups but simple, easy, and takes very little screen real estate.

This would be kind of a nice idea, again in lieu of having pre-saved templates that we could click on when the car gets back into town to auto-repair to specs.

Then this box could be another flag for when you're about to scout, you'd get a warning that you have a vehicle that's not battle ready.

tOrpOr just stole a suggestion I've been meaning to make for months. I just wish I had a 1 button "restore" option that gets the car back as close as possible to prior condition.

Why? Cause I can never remember exactly how many armor I have where on that one hearse. I use the calculator all the time. I also have to count out the months of the year on my fingers. Yep, I'm kinda dumb.
