A message from your SL

Do not throw Med packs and Ammo Packs at your squad leader. The enemy tends to be smart enough to at least follow the trail of highly visible Bread crumbs and shoot my ass.

The sight of tic-tacs being dropped behind a nearby building and babbling in the enemy language has given away many an SL' position to me in the past...and then I mention it to those who might actually go kill them!

throwing you med packs probably is a subconcious way of paying you back for all of your 5,000 + knifings :P

I know there is a lot more I can say but I wanted to keep it simple

How you say?

QFMFT!

Pretty much all you need. :6

Firing from the SL's position gives their position away. Squad members should move away from the SL before engaging the enemy. By the way, don't always take the same path. If you and your squad mates act like ants and form a line back to your SL it makes it easy for he enemy to find them.

Lots of good opinions in this post but having served as a real life squad leader in a light infantry platoon my standards of leadership differ a bit. A good squad leader:
- Leads by Example
- Trains from Experience
- Maintains and Enforces Standards
- Takes care of Soldiers
- Adapts to a Changing World
Sure you can kick your whole squad if you decide. In my opinion that just shows weakness. As I take on the squad leader role more often now I will make the effort to educate the FNGs. Yes they will make mistakes but the squad leader is there to correct those mistakes. Lead by example.
Needed to be said because I joined a squad the other night. The squad leader picked a flag to attack. Two enemy APCs decided to defend this particular flag. Our entire squad was wiped out. Our squad leader out of frustration i suppose decided to kick the entire squad except for a fellow clanmate. WEAK!

As a new SL I only care about a few things that my squadies must follow:

Call out contact by compass bearing
DO NOT engage unless you can actually hit your target
Be sure to swap kits. Pick up the HAT, pick up medic and revive SL first, others second
Follow orders, but feel free to make suggestions
Play as a team, have fun and push the objectives.

You can change your language to "Englidh Only" in your options to help keep Soy confused.

That is specifically why I did not change mine. I want to hear if the enemy's language is being spoken nearby.

FYI: If they change it, it affects their audio, not mine.

This reminded me of one. If I'm in a fast mover, which I often am, for the love of God don't start firing at any damn attack chopper you see. I will let you know when to light it up, in fact I'll stop and if its a DPV I'll adjust the car. But if the damn bird is right over us and I'm trying to get to a flag, you're just going to call attention to us and get someone 3 easy kills.
