It can be a hindrance, individually selecting each soldier to equip one type of armour.
Could there be an option where if all soliders are to have one type of armour (providing there's sufficient armour equipment in storage), have a button that automatically equips all soldiers currently assigned to a craft to wear that one kind of armour automatically?
Or, make it act like assigning soldiers to craft in this way where you click on a soldier automatically assigns it to a craft, but in this case - armour:-
New button (or of some sort) - toggle or choose which armour to use
Then individually sleect the soldiers you want to wear with that kind of armour you pre-selected?
If this makes sense!
So overall, less clicks (and less chance of repetitive strain injury
)
