Radio communication

[Kamamura 0]

Just one question - when playing as an ordinary squad leader asks me "Report status" , how do I respond with "Position <coordinates", like AI squad members do?

Similarly, when I am a squad leader and someone asks "Where are you?", how do I tell him my coordinates?

I went through all the radio commands, but could not find this one.

No word about it in the manual (which is fairly inadequate, anyway).

Thanks for help.

press the chat button and type "position <coordinates>", replacing <coordinates> with the coordinates of the place where you are

i think nobody really knows, except when in a vehicle you can say "fuel low"

That s my answer always even when on foot.

Best thing to do is select soldier and hit "1" and click a meter from you. He ll get a move order to where you are now.

Hey, that remark with chat function was funny, wasn't it?

However, this seems to be a design flaw, then. Anyone reported it as a bug?

Its not a bug, you are supposed to report your position "by hand". If it would be an automatic function you could use it even if you are lost and have no idea where you are.

I'm not too sure how much your commanding officer would like being ordered around by you.

Just so I don't wander.......... there is no "chat" feature in the single player game is there?

Thats not really easy in singleplayer, now is it?

The AI soldiers on your team ALWAYS know where you are, no matter what. You can just tell them "return to formation" and they will return. Even if you don't tell them this and leave them behind, they will catch up. You don't need to tell them to move anywhere.

read the question !

He asked when you are commanding officer !  

@Benze :

That s not the idea i get when i only hear "where are you" for the whole length of the game if i don t tell them where to go.

Excuse me, he had a typo in the first line of his text......

Your squad members don't tell you to report status...... this is why I thought that he was just a grunt.

Okay, but if my AI squad members ask me "Where are you" and I have no means of answering them, isn't it weird? They don't always catch up, when they have "away" status, they keep asking about my position.

Moreover, when I can determine my position by clicking on the ground with move command as a commander, it would be hardly a "cheat" to report it directly, wouldn't it?
