RE: Features you'd like to see with SB
I don't know if this is by intent, but concealed units become visible to the enemy units in their LOS when changing in and out of Ground Mode.
I think it would be better if units could go into Ground Mode without losing their concealment status. A number of scenarios begin with concealed units that are not in Ground Mode but are in the enemy's LOS. It would be best for them to go to Ground Mode, however doing so would remove their concealment. And more to the point, it would seem that upon seeing enemy units, the first and foremost thing that one does in order to maintain one's concealment is to "get down" (i.e., go into Ground Mode).
Or perhaps it should be randomized as to whether units become detected when entering/leaving Ground Mode, with the odds of them being detected affected by a number of factors, such as: how many men are involved (e.g., was it just one leader or was it a squad of ten men), what their effectiveness is, how many enemy units are in their LOS, what the terrain height is of the hex that they are in, and whether they were entering Ground Mode (less of a chance of being detected) or leaving Ground Mode (much greater chance of being detected). The cool thing about making it somewhat random is that you wouldn't know if you had been spotted!
