A better "Commander" experience

[KenaiPhoenix]

This module has a lot of potential. One of its best (in my opinion) features is being a commander of the ground forces, infantry, aircraft and even some battleships!

It is all already there, the problem is that is sucks. Its feels like an early concept of an ArmA 3 mod. From time to time I try to give it a try but Im most of time fighting with the controls than fighting the enemy units. It would be so awesome to properly command your units in this game.

If i have to make a list i would say:

- Fix the problem of some units just ignoring your order

- Make it easier to see your units and what they are doing. It could be a new UI that doesnt depends on the game map and were you can see your units with just a click

- Make easier "orders": "Move here", "watch that zone", "attack this target", etc. Everytime I try to move my tanks i create like 6 waypoints and some times they even ignore them.

- Easy way to select units. Your units are under attack and you need to move them. Currently you need to swap to the map, move to unit and, some times, zoom until you can select it.

- Make the units give some feedback, with some audio clues like the AI pilots could be enough

 

And thats is. I really like to fly my viper, but after teasing what its already on this module i would really like it to be able to use it better. Commanding tanks, sending artillery strikes on these giant maps, it is just awesome.

Not bad if ED will reach to a level type as the old M1 Tank Platoon series.... That can be make a better aproach to CA...

It would be fantastic if one could order cruise missile strikes from appropriate naval assets (like you can do with ground artillery). Also it would be great it you could do the same with aircraft and drones (you can, but it's very frustrating and clumsy). 

Also add a feature to send the aircraft home to land. (just allow more options to command what is happening). It would make the game even better
