Squad, Platoon leader controls

Ok, Basically i just unlocked the squad leader role last night and and i was selected as the leader. Anyways got in the game and was press down on the d-pad to select the new objective for my squad but had no idea how to actually select what i was looking at, i thought it would be R1, or down again but there was any visual or sound that told me that my squad had been informed.

 

When you look at the "target" you want, how do you select it?

 

Second question, how in the world does the leader-powers work, i pressed up on the d-pad and selected my "power" and was pressing R1 to make it "work" but again, i didnt see no visual or sound to tell me that it had been activated and on course (it was a mortar strike from what i remember)..

 

Basically, we need another update on that "noobs guide to mag" or whatever it was called for the full controls and info when being the leader.

 

The other thing is, PTT how does it work, who does it effect, when does it work? and when ur a leader and u select a channel do u stay in that channel till you die/change it or do you have to keep selecting the channel to talk each time?

 

As nooby as i sound, im sure theres loads of people with the same confusion. HELP!

Re: Squad, Platoon leader controls

use this, its a great guide.

http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=bEN_Games_MAG&thread.id=133...

but to set fragos targets is highlight target in tac map and press X, command abilities is the same if you press R1. most importantly though you should use your mic, makes it much easier.

Re: Squad, Platoon leader controls

I don't bother with the dpad controls, it's a lot easier to set targets via the map. Just highlight them and press X.

yeah, i didnt realise you could you the tac map tho, as nooby as that sounds.. but i only played 5mins of being a leader so :smileytongue:.. should have been obvious tho really being called "tactical map" XD

Re: Squad, Platoon leader controls

I've been testing couple days now and have noticed how important good leadersihp can be.. It's really hard to archive anything if the platoon and squad has no lead. 

 

 

I have got enough level that could lead a squad.. But I don't think I'll be good in it (nor do I have headset connected).
