What I'd love to have that would help me loads is is an overlay that will show you the best spots to position your IG guns Anti Tank guns,mortars and heavy Mg platoons.

Say you could drag out a selection box of the area you want to analyse and it would highlight spots that are good places to position your unit, could be colour coded, yellow for mortar\blue for IG\red for Anti tank\white for MG.

What in effect would be happening is the game will analyse the map area selected and choose the best points and then show you them. You see in real life you could observe the ground and would have alot better idea of the best spots etc than you can get in the game.

I like this request. It would certainly save a lot of time with the LOS tool, at least helping to narrow the possibilities down somewhat so the dedicated commander can fine tune his selection with other tools available.
