Icon For Idle Units in Base

I have a simple suggestion - make an icon for idle units in base found on the unit card in the top right. I generally use the tacmap, but when attention is elsewhere, it would be helpful if i could just glance up at the cards, select the units that need reinforcing and not take my attention away from the front.

There is already an icon for idle units.
Its this little clock thingy.

A different icon for units in base. Come to think of it, it could just be for units that can be reinforced, with the same red cross asset found elsewhere in the interface. And a script/hotkey that rotates through said units, similar to the next idle infantry hotkey.

I honestly don't know why they don't have overwatch for reinforce like in DOW1 and 2 it would make so many clicks of the r button go away

Or this would work too.

I have been shot down so hard for suggesting this. It's an ease-of-use gameplay change that would just add an option to smooth out the flow of gameplay IMO.

No complaints here, I think it would take away from thoughtless management.

I'm just glad we can reinforce multiple squads at the same time. Going back to try and play CoH1 made me want to kill myself every time i had multiple squads in the base to reinforce.

I'd really would like it if you could queue reinforcing. Reinforce the squad, then shift click somewhere. Then they'd go there once they're done reinforcing.

LOL so much this. I tried awhile ago and got so mad at the lack of COH 2 UI...no reverse button, no multiple squad reinforce...no MG facing, no clicking a squad in a HT and right clicking where to go on the map.

Seems like such a common sense thing.

The team should reconsider adding it as another so-called "quality of life" change.
