Over the years, there have been many suggestion threads about "disbanding units". In general, I used to agree with the (apparent) developer's viewpoint that this issue wasn't very important, because units would (a) auto-upgrade to new levels, and (b) when damaged, could be merged with other same-type units to get back (almost) full-strength, up-to-date units.
In 1.5, both these mechanisms have been abolished. After one or two weeks of fighting, players are left with groups of heavily damaged and obsolete units (like 5x L1 light tank at 5%, while newly built light tanks are L4), that really have no useful purpose anymore. Upgrading is too expensive (after all, the upgraded unit would ALSO be at 5%), battlefield value is neglibible (they didn't just lose strength but speed as well), yet the maintenance must still be paid in full.
Right now, our only solution is to find an enemy stack of some strength and kamikaze into it... but that is cumbersome (sometimes a stack like that just isn't around, and this tarnished unit has to find a front line somewhere at snail's speed), bad for stats (still relevant to many people!), and irrealistic (these hero fighters of the past deserve something better, right?)
So Bytro, pretty please, with sugar on top, can we get unit disbanding now?

When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.
