Quick soldier switch when downed

Suggestions

Just a very simple quality of life suggestion, especially useful for large squads.

So, when you are in a building (or anywhere really) and meet a smart enemy that happens to shoot you first, but instead of finishing you (he’s smart) he proceeds to the next biggest threat: soldiers still standing, then meticulously down them all before finishing them.

My problem is this: using the quick change key will often make me switch from the downed soldier I was using… to another… downed soldier. It can get confusing trying to switch to an able (standing) man while your enemy picks your guys one by one in orderly fashion.

Suggestion: Allow the switch key to BYPASS already downed soldiers to take control of the next standing one (unless all your guys are down) or create an option to do so. It will make attacking a full squad of 9 guys a bit more dangerous and also make more sense.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I have a suggestion to add to this, Switch to closest soldier option as its annoying to switch to the next soldier that’s far behind from the last soldier you control knowing the pathing is still a problem especially in buildings and trenches or places where the bots get stuck.
