It is, since some months. You have to turn it on under options.

I use this feature a lot, thanks.

Suggestion for improvement (don't know if it's possible to make): show reclaim values as last scouted, not the actual values.
Now when a wreck is reclaimed but that is unscouted, you still see the wreck, but without reclaim value. In the past you would still walk towards the wreck and find out that it's gone, now you have extra intel and don't have to walk anymore. You even for instance could deduce on Seton's front that your opponent has an engy or on ISIS that your opponent was earlier at mid.

It's been a while sense my hiatus (PC is down) and I saw this topic brought up again WITH a solution. I'm so exited! Awesome job!

PS: this will be in a patch correct? If not, is there a download link?

Awesome !
It means that we will now see the reclaims even when zoomed out.
(The merged label when zoomed out would be very handy too)
Can we have an option to have the toggle too ?
I generally dislike to hold thing, as it tires fingers needlessly.

And you only know about the Salem wrecks if you've been told or played it before anyway! This feature gives you a much better chance to not instalose when you play Desert Joust-like maps for the first time against someone close to your level who knows the map.

This would be an awful feature if it entrenched advantages for people that prowl the mod vault rather than mitigated advantages for people with map knowledge as part of the default settings. It's one of the biggest problems for new/infrequent ladder players of all ratings.

I disagree V. I want to know where the mass in on maps. For example desert joust... everyone knows about the salem wrecks but (I could be wrong here) does everyone know about the t2 tanks on the field as well?

It's not about having an advantage over the other player. It's about everyone playing better.

It's not an awesome feature. No.

It is great ..if your opponents don't have it. It is the advantage provided that makes it awesome. If everyone has it, it's no more an advantage, it's good to have but nothing extraordinary.

Yeah I think there's a potential issue with using shift. Possibly alt, which is currently attack move as well so half the time you're already using it when you're trying to get reclaim, or make it separately bindable? Or both - as in have an option to bind to "attack move + show all reclaim value" and an option to just have "attack move", currently bound to the alt key on 99% of game.prefs files.

Really awesome feature though!

are civilian buildings marked as well?

marking tree groups would be nice.

not sure I like shift being the key that does the toggling. i feel like that all the symbols might be a huge mess mess that I only want to look at every now and then ... using shift might interfere with battle
