Hey Darkpowder,

Are you still updating this manual?

If so, don't forget the orientation aids of using the SL as orientation point or a marker set at enemy location. In the name of KISS I always use the ingame aids to cut down on position descriptions. I'll explain in detail;

Sometimes it is impractical to for your squad to shout "infantry east of my position, I'm down", on Ramiel for instance. How does the squad individually know where the recently killed soldier was? if you get to the map in time you can see his blue dot or if you have the spatial room awareness you know where he is anyways.

But if you instead orient on compass heading from SL position, which is visible for everyone in the squad far easier then exact pos of soldiers. Sometimes that helps with new squads.

A secondary solution in cases like the above, or when the situation requires fast actions, is to toss out a move marker and have people describe orientation of enemy based on that. Ramiel is a good example of that since it's so tight and crowded with buildings.

Just a few random thoughts in, I'll provide more some other time.

Reading this makes this old BF2-heart beat more and more (I know it's far away from, and it's the reason I quit ;P).

This basic structure of communications will be like music to my ears If I'll hear them. Just gonna get used to it all. Need to improve my recon-ability instead of taking strolls as it seems to be my only activity these latest rounds.

Hope to see you guys on the battlegrounds!

Out!
