Hi,
I posted earlier about this same issue, but got little response. In my opinion this is a serious problem because it affects playing significantly, so here goes again.
Since it is now often vitally important that the commanding unit is able to move with its subordinates and command them, we need to have a way to change the commanding unit during combat. Unit G0 -> G1 and so forth.
This is extremely important for AFVs, it is annoying when in combat your commanding tank is destroyed and surviving crew bails out, staying in command!!! Now you have a panicked crew without a radio, capable of doing nothing sensible and unable to command... Shouldn't the remaining AFVs either come under command of another unit or act independently? After all, don't all tank formations have subcommanders who can take control of the formation if the leader is killed?
One solution to the problem could be that when an AFV is destroyed command would transfer to the next unit; G0->G1, G1->G2. This already happens with infantry and should IMO happen with destroyed AFVs even if some of the crew survives. Maybe this could be made in such a way that the commanding unit does not change if other AFVs in formation were not in contact with the commanding tank when it was destroyed.
