I also dislike floaty coins because of my experience with them in CM:SF.

Yep, one more (minor) reason why CM:SF is to be avoided.

Just be sure to make it an Option.
 
Some will like some will not, as for color allow a small set maybe 10 colors and perhaps a few ground textures.
 
Should make most happy.

Bases... Coins... they all detract from the look of the game and it's a problem in most every 3D wargame I've played.

I say:

Make a hotkey that, when held down (not a toggle), shows an outline around the 3D image of your units on the screen.. or even a Base like above.  But when you release the key it goes right back off.  

I can find most things often enough and pushing down on something like the spacebar that will highlight my units while it's held down would help me figure out where to click on those hard-to-find infantry in the woods quickly and easily.  Hell, even a toggle would work if it has an easily accessible hotkey near the camera controls, I guess.

FWIW, I have come to like the coins.  I just toggle them on/off when I need to find a specific unit.
 
Also, FWIW, I use the small map to zoom around rather than scroll with the mouse.  I find it much faster, but then I have a slow computer.  [:(]

Hi All,

It would be useful if clicking on the "coin" selected the unit.

At first this was an issue for me as well. But vS I only toggle them on during orders or when I need to know something. The rest of the time I toggle them off.

I was working back in MARCH when I posted last in this thread!! [X(]


Good Hunting.
