Aircraft range circles in latest beta

This is a great new feature! Love it!

There is only one caveat. You can see both the ranges of your own units, but also that of the enemy. This largely negates fog of war of the enemy air units. By setting your cursor on an enemy air unit and looking at the range circles it is quite easy to deduct what type of aircraft it is. Still a great feature.

But I have to ask, would it be possible to also choose between showing ALL range circles of the air units, or just the range circle of a specific air unit? In areas with lots of air units present, there can be a LOT of circles you know :-)

Good point in unknown air units. Which frankly would be most of them. I'll have to do it by recon level.

Are you talking about like all air sups, all bombers?

I mean click on one of your own air units and showing the range circle only for that selected air unit.

The issue of seeing the enemy air circles, means you can distinguish most air types (range 6 is fighter or cas, range 10 is tac, over range 10 is strat. I don't think it is a big deal, but it is a side effect.

If you click your air unit it already shows where you can go.
