make SL Orders visible for all other SL?

hi all,

last night i was wondering if it would be possible to make the orders of other Squadleaders visible for every Squadleader. Maybee in another color or something like that. This would be great for preventing too many squads moving to one point or direction. It happens too many times, that Squadleaders dont know, what the other squads are doing. And we dont have a commander everytime to tell us what the others are ordered to do.
When im squadleader i always try to adapt to the other squads orders.
Trying to move to "empty" flags which must be defended or caped.
e.g. ejod: everyone stops at first flag for cap or nobody stops.
all squads move to defend west city, but nobody goes east.
and sometimes i see squads near an "empty" flag, which makes me think that a squad is already moving there. but then they do something different.

so, i would really appreciate such an option.

greets
rabommel

True, it can be difficult to coordinate attack and defense through teamchat.

that is why there is a commander position

unfortunately you don't have a commander everytime.

and even if there would be one, it would be an useful option to see whats going on.

This has been suggested more often than fastroping. They can't do it.

Sup' Rabo?

I think the SL target thingy isn't possible in the engine. I know because it has ben suggested before!

I think that ALL squads or at least all SLs should be able to communicate over VOIP at once. There would be separate channels for your squad and all squads. This would make attack doordination much easier, however I don't think it is possible as it would require screwin around with the game engine...or am I wrong?

Not possible.

Well, now that the devs said there will be new commander changes for 0.6, such as commanders and engineers "building" different assets, the commander position will hopefully be taken up... We will hopefully see more teamwork between commanders and squad leaders.
