Time and time again I find myself cycling through several soldiers to get to my bomber, engineer or any other class depending on the situation and a lot of the times I miss the class needed and have to scroll through the whole squad again, e.g. needing a bomber to quickly blow up a tank(PIAT not explosives) usually results in some of my soldiers getting killed, sometimes even the one I need. This rarely occurs in small specialized squads like artillery or when I’m away form combat but in a bigger squad pressing “Y” repeatedly overshoots the class I need in that split second.
A wheel menu system like the one used for squad formation showing the active infantry classes would alleviate this by letting you directly switch to that class while still keeping the original method to cycle through them individually(“Y” key).

I have already suggested being able to bind the soldiers to the function keys, so f7 would select soldier 7 and so on

That would also work.
I remapped Y to TAB and I put them in the order I’ll most likely use them. Engineer>Bomber>SMG/LMG
I also, like to keep my Squads at 5 or 6 when the AI actually killed other Soldiers. Anything beyond 6 just seemed to get in the way and pad the enemies stats.
That would not work for consols. So choosing with the wheel is the better solution.
You can always have separate controls for console and pc
