Add a Callsigns + Mech name to the Unit name display option #8885

Description

@radar6510

What kind of request is this?

Improvement to an existing feature

What would you like to see?

When cycling through Name plate names, there is no option that allows for Call signs to display for people who have call signs and unit names for those who don't. It would be nice for have a hybrid that allows to see both call signs and mech names. Right now its only Call signs and unit varaints and that looks strange with Clan omnis and Clan Battlemechs as its typially only a IIC, C or Omni letter.

Why is it worth doing?

  1. Its something missing from 51.01 that was present in 51.00 and older versions.
