But then the squad leader would have to point where the enemies are by looking at them, and enter an on-screen menu, and then selecting the button for a proper waypoint... in the middle of the fight...
I don't know... it sounds a bit complicated, but I'll give it a try.

markers accesible by T commo rose... its a mater of 0.001 seconds to place a marker on where an enemy is...

on the other side... selecting another weapon slot for a hand, waiting for the animation of the hand, then getting everyone to look at your hand, then figurin out where exactly do you want them to shoot...

It was a joke... ok... I think you probably didn't read the part

And yes, you can do most of the things with markers. But then again, I've been playing with markers for so long, that I think if I would ever come back from a coma, my first sentence would be "Enemy on the marker!".

Markers were great few years ago, but it would be nice to be able to point stuff... and I was a bit offended by your silly "voip and markers solves this", cos it is pretty obvious neither voip or makers can reach blue guys, plus voip and markers are just totally unrealistic.

It's good for a mumble server, like TG.

Basically everyone can speak to everyone around you, and it would just be sweet to see.

Absolutely, or get another national smoke.

This. I really don't think a pointing mechanic would work that great ingame. +You can just point with your rifle.

And this is a resuggestion.

I've actually had my own ideas about giving the officer a "pointing hand". With the SL radio it's now almost impossible to be precise with where you call in area attacks (commander launched) because you cant see/be precise with a target over about 500m

They should just add a crosshair for the radio so we can see where we are putting things.


And this multi hand tool idea OP had sounds awesome.

nah/jk

why not, could add to realism ingame aswell as being practiable.
