During night-missions, it is often hard to see
in which direction a unit is looking.

So it would be nice to have a tickmark or small arrow
on the base-circle of units as an indicator.
Different colors (green/yellow) could be used to
indicate crouching/standing up.

Also useful would another indicator
for "item on the ground here",
because small non-glowing stuff is also hard to see.

Good point. I had raised the gamma for my monitor so I could see things at night, but that detracted from the nice job everyone has done making night-time believable. Since there don't appear to be random objects for soldiers to find, I believe the "item on ground here" indicator would not detract from the game since an actor was killed there, or equipment was dropped or thrown.
