For a majority of players, TS3 and other third party systems are not part of their gaming repretoire . Now it may be appropriate to just direct people how to use TS3 and voice servers, I think a more useful way to communicate would be a VGS style system mixed with the command system from MW4 and Heavy Gear 2. Here is what I envision

Using the Fkeys , have F1 and F2 assigned to Lance 1 and Lance 2. Furthermore have the F3 through F11 keys assigned to individual lancemates. Finally the F12 key is for battalion level commands.

Selecting the F keys opens up a command menu. Through this menu (using the F keys again) you can call targets or way points , assign objectives etc. You could even call formations, if they were ever to become useful.

The individual lancemates can call out through the F menu ,for example "Need Help" or "Lasing Target", with appropriate HUD icons for such call outs.

This would make commanding much faster instead of typing things out or opening up the command map, which seriously needs to be reworked.

This will also require a pregame lobby where lances can form.
