More squad messages

Probably mentioned before...
I'd like to see different messages available to soldiers.. maybe depending on the class.
For example, the support guy shouting "cover fire!" or "i'm covering you.. move!" - something like that.
It would just be nice to see a few more messages that are related to squad work and squad movement.
"take fire positions", "create a primeter", "lets move out!" ... things like that. - whatever you guys actually say when your in combat.

I completely agree, we really need a whole circle thingy filled with them for SL's and this is where my mini idea comes into place. SL really need 3 messages options.
1 - quick commands like that can be given instantly move here: get to cover, hold fire, fire there. This is where most of the new commands can be included as there provide imdiated communication
2 - longer commands that require the map up to send: move this position adn then here and wait here (set of way points on the map), defend this position, attact this position. Thses commands will allow a more tactical approche and should include many advanced options.
3 - communication wiht the commander, we need a supplies, the other squad to defend here. Finaly these should enable SL to communicated with other SL's and plan larger offensive/ defensive operations.
Precisely what goes into each one, would require imput from every one and that is why i propose a whole section just about ideas and development of them!

Thanks, they are exaclty the commands needed. The SL commnads could be implemented into stage 1 of the SL communication trianggle.
and the normal sodier once could be enhanced a little.
A whole new set of commands is required for vehicle and pilots. Once a comander adn gunner if implemented in MTB, the commander would require commands like: move there, halt, spotted, reverse, enemy behind.

It lacks a basic "Cover Me" command.

Commands like "Search" and "Squad messages" and things like that? J/K, I think it's a good idea and I'll say so every time some one posts this idea.
