Speak directly to other squad leaders using direct chat

[ICE]

keep command channel clear and use direct squad leader to squad leader channel more often

i don't play as squad leader usually but sometimes you will be forced to do it after squad lead leaving and you dont want ur squad to get disband and squad mates lose their rules after what i noticed that every other squad leader using command radio (G key) channel to talk to other SL even if he want to give info directly to that SL and that info dose not help me you know what i mean and they dont use the direct SL to SL radio channel and its so annoying to filter all this info med battle so if you dont know the direct radio thing plz learn it and start using it more often so command radio dose not get so missed up like always

No. No secrets in command chat.

Yeah, I want to directly talk to my squadmates in 10, 11 and 12, sometimes even 13. Works fine....

There are certain times where it is useful to use direct chat with the other squad leads. I tend to use it when talking to a vehicle that has arranged to transport my guys where the information that I'm giving only serves to clutter up the main channel and provides no overall useful information. With this, most information, even when directed at a specific squad, should almost always be transmitted over the main channel. This helps others to develop an overall picture of the match.

No, if anything, more SLs should tell their squad from time to time whats happening around them to give them a better understanding of how things are going and why their current task is important. People get more invested in a task if they know that they are doing Z because squad 5 is currently doing E and if both are successful the game will become EZ...

As for people stating "some information" is better for local (SLx to SLy) communication. I dont agree there ether because I would argue that the more detailed information a given SL needs for X task. Tells the rest of us what chance he has at being successful and I want to get that indirect information as long as whats being talked about is "tactical\command stuff" in nature.

People need to understand that in real life. Allot of leadership is NOT a one way road. Its combined ideas, within limitations of course, with the "top rank" having the final say on given things. Unrelated, this is also why top leadership tell people what they want solved, rather than how they should solve it on the minute tactical level.

If the Devs should add anything to SL. Its so that the SL had the ability to put long and short range on different ear. Which is what people do in real life to avoid confusion.
