Can we get an increase in the squad name function, or add maybe a squad nationality symbol. Dunno if it's hardcoded or suggested previously

my question is WHY? It's so people like you don't make up a squad name like "I'ma Goin to kill ya" cause thats always great when the commander want's to talk to you and has to say something like that every time. Kepp it simple. Nothing wrong with it.

When commanding, I always refer to squads by their number, not their name. Their name should be more like their description, and in that sense it could use some extra characters (currently you can't even fit "ENG INF VOIP" in there).

Helpme, the commander doesn't know the name of the squad unless he checks Tab>Squads. He'll just say Squad 1, Squad 3.

A longer name can better explain the job of the squad, and a flag could suggest the preferred language of the squad.

Commander can't actually see the squad names very easily, has to go in to tab and find the corresponding number

ENG VOIP will do fine though

I doubt this but am hopeful:
Is it possible to have selections or only certain things that can be typed in squad name
e.g infantry, armor, logistics, CAS, Specops, teamwork, voipENG, voipGER etcetcetc.
because this would definately help people to find the type of squad they are looking for.

all this can be accomplished with the current system of typing the name yourself.

But I really love the idea about some way to show the preferred language in the squad. A flag would be nice but then again you would have to have sooo many flags. IF it's possible to edit these squad name things, then maybe something like an additional field that you can type into (max 3 letters) this could be used to indentify the language used. (GER, ENG, SWE etc.)

I was thinking more along the lines of INF,voip UK. Someone's always going to create lame names. IF could maybe have symbol for infantry/armour/air something to show what your trying to do.

Is it a hardcoded thing?

I think the squad system is pretty untouchable, but not sure.

Hit the nail on the head for a win!


Squads are hardcoded. The only way is to name the squad but, the commander only uses numbers as others have said before.
