Some QoL suggestions

Another one so I don't forget.

Certain units (e.g., AT guns) need hold fire.

- Either make a tri-state (hold fire/prioritise vehicles/fire-at will) toggle ability.

Or:

- Simply add a hold fire ability to the side
- Turn the overhead prioritise vehicle icon into the Brace-emplacements lock (this will free up overhead icon space)

- Abandoned vehicles should retain their previous state (so that you don't have to constantly reactivate hold-fire for USF vehicles)

Finally, for handbrake:
- Substitute overhead "ban" icon with shield-decorator brace lock

Just don´t. Unwanted artifficial micro is driving me mad, Imagine you will have to make it priorise vehicles in matter of second and you must go throught hold fire.

Things like this are driving me mad. And you don´t want to see agressive swine

I think so too. That's why I would go for the 2-button solution. It's easier to control.

Do you think it would be easy/acceptable to keep track of prioritise vehicles with the brace lock icon (on the portrait, not the overhead icon) instead of the yellow vehicle overhead icon?

Is it possible to auto spawn all AT guns with prioritize vehicles on?
Nobody uses AT gun against inf and if they do it, they can simply deactivate the state.
Otherwise in 99,99% of all cases, people activate vehicle priorization as soon as the AT gun hits the field.
Currently it just creates artificial micro without any usefulness.

Also, is it possible to fix the bug(?) that snipers deactive their 'hold fire' ability after retreating?

We planning on doing something like this for the patch immediately after WBP. First we want to make sure that the existing payload (bugfixes and balance changes) make it through in one piece. Then we can start experimenting with some hold-fire/prioritisation changes we have been hatching.

The usefulness of AT guns being able to engage all targets become clear when you are fighting vs sim city (Brits/OKW). You don't always have vision on the target, while you also have to move your AT to dodge artillery.

Fix the OKW officer who does not provide the correct bonuses to OKW support weapons (LEIG)

Is it design issue? Maybe is it a bug, or balance decision?

Valentine can use the smoke screen button but will not fire the smoke if in "observation mode". The button should either not be available during observation mode or the ability should work during that mode.

Valentine also lack lucks indicator similar to 251/20 for angle and range of the "radar" observation mode.

At the moment, all WFA and UKF engineers have their unique shieldsymbol, but soviet engineers and ostheer pioneers don't.

This injustice should be fixed:
