I'll go directly to the topic:
Airborne and Commandos
When ever these units are bought and alone in the Doc list they drop in by parachute or by Glider with the additional timer. Is it possible to place a Half Track like icon next to them in launcher so that you can choose yourself will they drop in or walk from offmap. Of course adding another unit would make them walk but still...who'd want to call in Airborne+RR and Rifleman squad instead of 2x RR Airborne? That was just an example.
Tanks and their Range
I'm sometimes confused with the tank range, how huge it is as I can not see the range itself. So this idea would be there to improve micro especially with Anti tank units and with vehicles that utilize their Range over everything else IE: Panther, Tiger, Marder, G-bathtube etc. Like when you select the unit, you can see tiny dots around it to see its mainguns range. Pretty much similar type like ATGs have when you direct them to the direction you want them to aim at. You see the Arc of Fire and the range.
The idea is to give an Aura like when you click Officer Supervision you get the Aura lenght. Similar to all tanks to see their range. This would allow players to learn to use tanks from their full ranges. Especially M10s would be in love with this too along with Firefly. that kinda one
This would help new players and even older players to improve their micro to the fullest.

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Being able to play with 'hax' accounts in 1vs1, strictly in 1v1's - meaning everything is unlocked for free, all units, all doctrines, you only have to select what you want - so you can test everything, try it out properly.
So for example, you host a 1vs1, you can select a new switch called something like 'Unlocked' same way you select 'RE, M, 2v2, 3v3' etc now, add another switch like that only available in 1vs1.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

I like both of the suggestions from Night and the one from Skaffa, although I can see how that might be tough to implement...

I've seen so many games fall to the way-side because of things getting dumbed down. An easy game is no challenge, and without the challenge the playerbase gets bored and leaves.
Obviously this is an over-statement on two small ideas, but once you head down this road, where do you stop?

That's like offering Beer to fuck the fat chick. It will work for a while, but it's not gonna last. Not only that, but there is zero motivation for the Fat chick to loose weight.

Use attack move (hotkey a) to make your armor attack when they get just within max range.

A proper way to train noobs other than stomping them without mercy until they 'get it'... nice...

as a small idea

It eat my pop, but it useless now and has vet, because of engine it can not reach evac point... Abondon a vechicle by a crew - tank blowing up and vet croco stay in my company like his crew succesfully retreats.
