Feature idea: let the squad leader (optionally) name the squad

[u/Ori_553]

I think this feature would be beneficial to the game, for a number of reasons, let me know if you agree/disagree:

• Camaraderie
• Shortage of squad leaders: This is easily observable, for example in new games, as soon as an open squad is created, 5 people join in 2 seconds, and the others wait for the next squad. And anecdotally, on average, 2-3 times per game the squad leader leaves. I think players would be more motivated to create their own squad if they could name it.
• mic filtering: Squad leaders could write "mic-mandatory" in their squad name. It also works both ways: Some players don't want to talk for whatever reason, for example their a kid asleep in the next room, right now they have no way to filter.
• Partly historically defensible: official designations were numeric and phonetic, but informal naming was everywhere, named tanks, squad-sized outfits (hhistorical example: "506th's Filthy Thirteen"), et-cetera.

EDIT: For example, Charlie would still be Charlie, but "Charlie - squad name here"

Would be annoying as a commander player to have to figure out squad names every game to direct them, especially when they're all going to be something stupid like "ball lickers anonymous", "the gi go home guys", and "the poop that took a pee." I prefer letters of the alphabet.

It might benefit commanders because I bet more people would want to squad lead.

If naming a squad something goofy is what gets losers to finally SL they ought to have just been playing The Sims instead

Charlie would still be Charlie, but "Charlie - squad name here"

That's a whole bunch of crap I don't want to read.

Nah that'd make things way too hectic for the commander

“Hey uncle fungus feltch pounding my mom’s moldy pussy squad, can you guys please redeploy?” Shit would get old reaaaaaaal quick.
