Platoon Leader tool - display all squads on primary screen


Right now, you have the data for the people of the squad you are in that shows on your main screen. The listing is in the lower left hand corner of your screen and has the person's status/class (skull & crossbones or a little symbol denoting class or vehicle), a sequential arbitrary number assigned to them when they join and that is their marker on the mini-map, and finally their handle.

So, for the platoon commander, I propose this:
Make a checkbox in the platoon management screen which says "Show all squads on primary screen" and defaults to unchecked. Then, if the player checks it, they will have the information showing for all four squads show on their primary screen view, instead of just their squad.

One other thing: List, at the top, the name of the squad leader's location, i.e. "Vanu Vomitorium" or "Eisa Tech Plant" or "Mani Bio Lab." The platoon leader can tell in a glance if his squad is at the correct location, if they're alive or dead, and also when to manage the numbers and move people around.

Cons: Yes, it'll clutter the screen. Thus, the opt-out that defaults to "no." For those information junkies who would rather not live in the squad/platoon page, this would be a welcome change and useful to the command of a platoon.
