[V1.29D - Ground Combat] Visual cue to see selected soldiers behind cover

[fisheye]

Currently, the only way to see that a particular soldier is selected is by a green rectangle on the floor. So when a soldier's feet are obscured by anything, the rectangle is also obscured.

I would suggest two things to add:

• A downwards arrow pointing to a soldier's head, maybe glowing/animating for visual assistance
• Make the rectangle visible behind cover
• Both

Screenshot to visualise. I have 3 soldiers in my transporter but you cannot distinguish who is selected unless you pivot camera:

Thanks. Yes, the selection square used to be visible behind cover, it's got broken for some reason. We'll look into it.

@Chris, getting back to the game in months, I still have the exact same issue  Not game breaking, but would be a nice quality of live improvement
