Switch to closest soldier

Give us the ability to switch to the closest soldier on the battlefield.

I don’t how many times I switch to the next soldier (in squad order) and this guy I’m about to control is too far away or totally offset.

It’s just not very annoying, it will also screw you up double since the AI now starts to run towards you and away from the point you’re heading; or even worse the area of gun engagement where you just got killed.

In general it seems now quite frequent that the squad lags very far behind you.

also I’d wish that they were looking towards objective at most, it’s sooo annoying to switch and find out they were looking complete opposite direction, very often i get lost because of it.

I was about to ask for this too as its annoying especially on maps with bad pathing to not switch to the closest soldier to continue the battle with that squad.

It’s an ocasional fustration that can simply be fixed by prioritizing the range variable over the squad placement order constant.

Players can already switch per squad placement order manualy so that would make the automatic range switch into a fitting QoL change that will supliment proper on the go soldier selection.

I love when I die and all my soldiers I get switched to are looking in the opposite direction of the objective then get clapped one by one :sunglasses: very cool
