The UI in SD2 - a question

[holy-death]

My biggest issue in Wargame was that units' icons could bundle up, causing overlaps and resulting in them getting harder to read or catch, turning the map into a mess at times.

In short - is it possible to expect the UI to remain roughly the same as in SD1 or are some changes planned to that aspect of the game in SD2?

Did that issue persist in SD1 for you because you didn't say that. You said it was from Wargame?

I didn't play SD1, I played Wargame, but I did watch gameplay videos (I am even watching SDL Code S Quarter Finals on Youtube right now). From what I could see the UI behaves in the same way.

I agree. This is one of my biggest wishes for SD2 is that the Unit Icon label-type things are replaced with sort of old school RTS 8-directional sprites.

They can be simple 8-directional sprites that look more like symbols.

They don't need be artistic depiction of a T-34 or Red Army soldier etc but can still just be a simple Blue/Green/Red sillhouttes such as a soldier for a infantry squad.

It's not just a matter of it looking better but if you have simple animated sprites then they can also give more information to player of them animated as firing, moving, standing still etc

Okay, well I personally liked the icons and the fact you could change them to NATO symbols. Maybe a 3rd option would be the solution instead of the deletion of the other things.

+1

especially in moments when you need intense and quick microing cluttering units are 1 of the biggest downsides of the unit select system there is.

seriously?

The SNAP UI is in WARGAME ALL WARGAME AND steel division in the interface option menu turnoff-able. (And COMPLETELY ADAPTABLE!) -> I have it close to W:EE way for 5 years now.
And in steel divison thats a totally different thing. oh and you know this.
