Have you ever been sending patrols, attacks, ferries, and flights over areas occupied with so many troops that you can't even see where your aircraft are flying anymore, or hardly even click on them?
Have you ever sent your aircraft out but you just straight up forgot where you sent them and now you can't find them?
Have you ever accidentally clicked in a province center adjacent to your city when directing a flight home (I know I should just use cancel orders) and your fighters landed and then spent hours ferrying the smallest of distances to a nearby province, totally unprotected?
If you have, then you know my pain. If you haven't then you're lucky, but you can probably still imagine my pain.
Now, imagine if there was a button on all buildings and carriers where aircraft can launch from that simply recalls the aircraft from wherever they are at back to where they took off from.
I'm dealing with a situation right now where a carrier says that it has 5 Strike Fighters on board, but they're not there, and I can't find them anywhere else on the map. I think it's a bug and I'm working through that with support, but it also sparked this idea and this seems like it would be useful to have all the time. It seems that if there was a button like this, I might be able to resolve that situation with a single press, or at least be sure that it is a bug. It would also help me in Europe right now where there's so much going on that half the time I don't know where my troops are.
In this instance, I am Canada. Can you find my plane quickly? It's not terribly difficult in this exact picture because my flag is decently clear, but the fighter itself seems almost invisible. I also noticed that flags lay over the top of units, and that can sometimes hide your fighters as well.
Thank you for your consideration.
