Shorter unit names please

[unmerged(8351)]

As someone who is playing core for the first time the one thing that bothered me the most is that many names for units overflow the fields provided and thus you cannot tell them apart.

This is highly annoying.

No way to tell my Me-109s apart except from stats since all I can see is that is the full name of the manufacturer and NOT the model number. Anyway you guys might want to think about just abreviating the developers name in order to allow one to see the model number in the build menu.

Just a thought

That was reported when 0.7 was released, so in 0.71 we fixed the problem moving the type of the model before the aircraft name and manufacturer.

For example: (I.Int) Messerschmitt Bf.109G "Gustav"

So the player can understand the aircraft type in the build or upgrade menu (the only 2 screens where a long model name give some trouble).
