Am I overreacting or is that a horrible addition?

The need to communicate and use a chain-of-command to relay information is such a huge part of the immersion and enjoyment of this game. It's already frustrating hearing an FTL call out "enemy on my observe" without any reference points or direction, now it'll be extended to the entire squad.

Not to mention a regular squaddie's inability to communicate info without using voice comms motivates them to speak up. Now they can just place an observe mark and move on.

Along with automatically placed ammo crates and friends automatically being in their own squad, it seems like they're reducing the need to communicate and reducing the responsibility of SLs. Just seems like steps in the wrong direction. What do you think?

I started learning Russian recently and have some questions about how you say some words in Squad. I understand I can use translators but I'd like to hear if any squad terms differ from their literal translations. What words do you use for the following:

1. Rally Point
2. Squad Leader
3. HAB, FOB
4. Ammo crate
5. Enemy infantry (for instance "enemy infantry, south, 185")
6. Armor (generic term)
7. Logistics vehicle

Also some general questions:

Do you use ты or вы to address your teammates?

What is the most common word used to apologize? For instance, apologizing for not speaking Russian well, or apologizing for a team-kill.

Any other Russian language tips are very much welcome.

Огромное спасибо!!
