[FPS multiplayer mode]

With a little tweaking, you could have a FPS mode so that it's like the BF series or WOT. Just add a camera view at the eye level of tank/inf. Then add simple movement controls, like 'w' puts a move waypoint 100yds ahed, 'd' puts a waypoint ahed and to the right, or else a face order. Very simple changes to simulate FPS control. Problems finding hull down? Select tank and choose control and look through the gunsight and creep up with the arrow keys.

There could be a multiplayer lobby where you as OA commander can select players to have control of subformations. When you issue waypoints on your units, the subordinate players see the waypoints and try to obey them.

[Engine 5 Wishlist]

1. Multiplayer lobby and you can assign players to control your platoons.

2. FPS control of your tanks or infantry like BF clone.

"troops going in the wrong door" comes down to traffic management

Maybe if it showed the path thi AI intends to take when you pput waypoints. Would help too when there is a long strip of impassible ground and they will have to go around it (right in front of the enemy, of course).

Also useful for tanks going up to hull down. Peeked over and took out one T72 out of three. Facing the other way. Could have backed out without retaliation, but have to stay put at the top of a hill for a full minute.

Boss: We got 4 Abrams and 4 Bradleys just behind this ridge in line abreast, scouts already spotting the other side and have picked out targets. Only a few APCs and infantry ATGMs. Just a demo scenario.

We got thirty two pairs of IR enhanced eyeballs searching, 4 120mm guns, 8 TOWs, 4 HMGs, 4 25mm 200rpm autocannons set to airburst ready to rain hell on anyone foolish enough to show themselves. 

Company, advance to hull down and engage! Rock and roll!

Pixeltruppens: LASER WARNING! Pop smoke! Back up! Whew, that was close.

Boss: Could you at least not rotate before you back up so the formation doesn't get jumbled up? Now I have to put it in a line again.

Boss: Your safe behind this building blocking LOS from three enemy squads across the street. Now go in and take up positions.

Pixeltruppen: But there's no door on this side, we'll have to and walk around to the opposite side to go in the front door. Since there's not a lot space between buildings we'll have to go single file around the perimeter...
