[WAD] UI issue with deploying air groups via right click

I would like to deploy some air groups from the national reserve via right clicking on an airfield. In most cases this works fine. However, if I try to do it on a hex which has a land unit on it, the right clicking doesn't work, because (I supposed) it keeps trying to right click to select the ground unit instead. It also keeps clicking on the ground unit even if you turn off showing the unit graphics on the map, so you can't get to the airfield deployment options that way either.
It would be nice if there were some way to access this functionality for hexes which have land units on (if I am not overlooking something).

as long as no unit is selected, right-click should work fine
but yea, bit annoying how it doesn't work if the unit is selected

I think Harain1 is correct. If you've selected the hex (left clicked on it), you need to first select a blank hex and then go back to the airfield hex and right click. I don't think there's an easy way to change the way the interface works.

Aha, I see now and it works, thanks. It is confusing though because normally I would intuitively think that you have to select the hex first by left clicking it. I would have thought that if I simply right clicked, the right click would refer to the hex that was selected previously by left clicking.
