To tell the truth this suggestion is quite simple and obvious but as it has not happened yet and I will suggest.
Why do flag bearers carry a flag in one hand and some weapon in the other?If it is much more obvious that the flags are attached tied to pikes like in real life and movies yes, I know the movies are not canonical but it's such an obvious thing that flags are tied to pikes and that's why I beg units to carry flags to have flags tied to pikes
