OK SO see this happen time and time again there is a team mate walking into trouble or want to warn them there is a light behind them or something and you {voice} or type "what?" "Madcat there is a light behind you!" "raven look out assault around that corner"!! well what madcat or raven are you talking to? SO! my idea is

When you drop you are randomly put into a Lance that should now be your Battle CALL SIGN meaning when a friendly targets you they don't see your make and model info they see a big "A1 D3 B4" and on Your Hud you see a big [A1] or what ever your position is in the lance so you know there talking to you!!

so it turns into

"Alpha 3 don't get to far back" "Delta 4 light behind you" "Beta 2 wth you doin?" or what ever

Can see how helpful it is when calling "enemy targets" so friendly s should be the same....yea?

I assume you mean when you pull the info up and not when you target since you can't target friendlies and whey you do that their name already pops up.

Yes meant instead of there names cause those are ....all over the place in a hurry who says "look out Vandreadbustertwo60"

well most people would just say "van", "vandread", or "buster". but with your idea if people were just assigned callsigns its not going to be much help unless you remember to actively look at what yours is that match and pray that under fire you don't forget and think you are what you were called two matches ago.

now if people could create a custom callsign say with limited characters (6 I think would be best and mesh with units well) that may work. you should be able to change it at anytime in case units have a format they want to follow or you just get board

Was thinking it should show up on HUD if you hover over a friendly instead of there name want to see a BIG "DELTA 1" or instead of the green icon you see "D1"
