Suggested UI tweaks

Hi there,
I've rounded up some more of these in case there is support out there among the players--also to find out if I'm doing something wrong!
1. Auto add aircraft to carriers and airbases. Can we make this a multi-select so it's not a clickfest?
2. I would really like to see an 'escort' order for divisions guarding convoys. In other words, like patrol but staying close to a marker division like Convoy Transports 1 instead of a fixed point. I am finding circling around the convoys when defending them to be another clickfest and these missions are very often long. It is very (and IMO unnecessarily) fiddly trying to stay in contact with the merchants.
3. I would like be interrupted when airbases complete expansion so I know to do something about it. Can we get a popup for new or expanded airbases same as for new carriers?
4. I would also like to be notified about possibly changing aircraft roles in existing groups when new types become available, e.g. LJF, DB. I usually play with airbases restricted to 60 to make the last 20-30 years more interesting, so it matters.
5. I'd still like to see something better about sighting reports, e.g. colour coding them for age and level of confidence, and mouseover details. And they could be more readable anyway. Finally, are they using Zulu time or what? I can't figure out what time they are showing me. Doesn't seem to relate to game clock much.
