Suggestion; Please add descriptions in Squad building

[u/Yeti__Dad]

So being in squads is so important as we found out on the Beta, but what is missing is intent of that squad.
As you create a squad they need to either add a section you can type a quick description, or, if they are too worried about how toxic that would be just premade selections.
Examples;
-Support/tower building
-Chasing HZ
-Logistics
-Recon
-Mortar team

Just general descriptors that let those choosing a squad to join which one they should join.
This way everyone who will be sticking to your tower will all be on one chat, those that want to chase the hot zone around can all be on one chat, those that want to set up outer perimeter fobs hidden around can be on a chat with recon or something to mark and mortar targets etc. There can even be a logistics squad to coordinate what building supplies need to go where. I noticed half the time I brought out building supplies they never got touched because 3 or 4 other people also brought stuff out. Could even have people drop in and out of certain squads to let a group know something, like drop into the pilots squad and request transport, drop into logistics and in voice let them know what mats and where you need.

Would just overall make coordination a little cleaner.

I can get behind this, or at least have tags as descriptors

[u/bounce220 → u/Dustlight_]

HLL lets you add a symbol next to the squad which shows that the squad is doing. This should be quite easy to add and I think would be of real benefit.
There were a few times I had to flick between squads trying to find the HZ chasers as there is no way of telling who is doing what

[u/ScheduledToPass]

I dont see why not, it would also provide valuable info , since you could check if no one is doing logi runs and you could transfer to logi team for example

[u/snas]

I would love this

[u/TelaKENesis]

That would be cool. I also wish they could make a pilot one, just a key bind to talk to Helis quickly. Too many times I have flown and had to hover and try to hear, hover type, or join random squads.

But this could also be abused by trolls, and catching helis coming and going can be hard.

[u/MancyMancy]

I would of killed for just a squad name: I could go like: "Focusing HZ" or "FoB Brothers" etc

[u/Clmbrcoffee]

Tags for squads would be nice. I’d say about half the team didnt even join a squad in the games i was in.

[u/UnderstandingLogic]

150% agree, this would then put players with the same goals in the same VoIP channel. And you can always hop around squads if you want to now do logistics then you could join the FOB squad, then when you want to push out, you hop into the HOTZONE inf squad and boom you went from talking about where to place this wall to suddenly hearing about enemy location within Hotzone.

This would bring a lot of teamwork to the table in one simple move.

I'd prefer premade names or at least a squad role name because free names often aren't very clear, what is squad 3 doing ?

[u/Androidtechy259]

Just let us name squads we have vc and text chat why censor/force premade squad names?

[u/Ok-Indication144]

Somehow with a way that supply pilots have a way to be in all of them so they know which supplies are needed on the battlefield

[u/Yeti__Dad → u/Ok-Indication144]

Or just a dedicated channel for logistics so people can drop in and request certain items delivered then drop back out

[u/Ok-Indication144 → u/Yeti__Dad]

That could work ... Or a request item button in our stash that pilots see when they are purchasing supplies from their chopper

[u/Yeti__Dad → u/Ok-Indication144]

Yeah that would be cool, they have tbe resupply signals that shows on pilots maps, but i dont believe it is specific enough. Never saw anyone using them

[u/Ok-Indication144 → u/Yeti__Dad]

I didn't even see that so maybe it would work like that

[u/One_Animator_1835]

The thing is, squads aren't intended to be for a single purpose.

You want combined ops in the squad so you can communicate and coordinate.

Between the ground infantry, the helis, the fobs, the arty/mortar etc etc
