#564 is useful if you're doing a campaign otherwise no. #275 allows on/off chrono monkeys with n00k banannas and laser eyes or on/off 'classic' mode where every unit is all-remap or whatever. Sounds fun IMO, sorry nighthawk.
#732 would allow you to stramline the use of AI and player infantry. Say I want to get a few platoons of mechanised (vehicle mounted) infantry, as it's the best way to get a balanced loadout of firepower to a location. So in vanilla I select 6 APCs, 12 Rocket soldiers, 6 Snipers and 18 GI/rifles. Then I painstakingly load them and... wait the battle finished 15 minutes ago and my enemy just destroyed my base. Damn!
Whereas with #732 *clicks 'Loaded APC' button 6 times* *does something else* *send them in!*. People should not lose because they have un-necessary micromanagement forced upon them, people should lose because they played badly.
Then we have #331... Last time I played a game with this mechanic it was a 3D Age of Empires knock-off that went from the middle ages to WWII. You had to manually buy V1s/V2s and it was really bloody irritating.
