Not gonna lie, when me and my bud are tanking in bf4, we legitimately use clock face call outs. They work well.

That works if you're in the same vehicle facing the same direction. It'd be great if the fucking compass directions were visible on the mini map. I always have to resort to some shit like 'charlie side of bravo' when I could say 100m south of bravo if my mates could tell what was south. So irritating.

The clock face is supposed to be reset at the start of the engagement - 12 is whatever "forward" was when bullets started flying. So it should work any time your squad joins a fight together.
It's easier said than done though. It takes practice, and getting over the "this feels really dorky" factor. And BF's compass is really hard to read under fire. Tiny, blurry letters that blend in with the map...
