What I want is to have option for faster sound, or some way ignoring secondary sounds for multiple shots - turns taking a lot of time now, while all the sounds for each shot played.

Really like the VP idea, knowing the enemy is coming, but not exactly what their focus is.

A (possible?) simple one: Have an extra command to do all rallying for a unit at once (like Shift+R), rather than 1-umpteen button presses per unit.

Playing an infantry campaign right now and spend equal to twice as much time per turn pressing R for the units as actually playing the turn.

Preferences -> Auto Rally On

The only problem is that it doesn't always rally units in the most efficient manner - e.g. you want to rally that lowly bazooka team next to the Tiger but the AI wastes the A0 rallies on the B0 REMF supressed by a few mortar rounds.

Would be great if it were at the beginning rather than end of turn. Dunno what most do, but unless a unit has nothing worth shooting at and nowhere to go, I rally at the start to make that turns action more effective.

More BLOOD !!! it would be very cool if like for the vehicle when an entire foot unit or just a sniper is wiped out there would be a corpse lying on the ground.
It could in my humble opinion greatly improve the climax of the game.

cheers

I am a more selective with the rally key. Each unit can rally itself until it fails then it goes to its commander for the next set of rally attempts and so on up to A0. I don't always want to rally a particular unit down to 1 especially if I have other troops in need. So I might rally a couple of retreating infantry down to pinned to hold them in place, then rally an engineer just to the point where he can use a satchel or FT on the bunker in front - and if he smokes the bunker, go back to the infantry and rally them untill they can move back into the line. Then if I haven't tapped out the B0 and A0, rally a routed crew so I can move him into cover and save him for the next battle.

I don't think a rally all button would allow the same degree of finesse - But then I may be misreading you.

I'll second this one too. We have fast artillery, fast direct fire would be useful too - especially when running AI vs AI playtests.

I'm with you here man !
In the last SPWinMBT game I played (solo scen as South Afr vs Angola) I was totally mad at seeing my guys wasting all their precious RPG/Zook ammo (can't remember what weapon exactly) on OP fire at enemy infantry at extreme weapon range !
Sure here I should have "disabled" the weapon but forgot to,
But in a recent WinSPWW2 games I had my Tigers wasting their OP fire at petty and dangerless SMG infantry dangling around T-34s at 4-500m range so when the T-34s moved/fired the Tigers had no OP fire left..*That's* the real issue !
