      This image might be useful to consolidate the terminology, especially for SLs talking in the commander channel:

       

      Each grid square is 200mt x 200mt, a sector is 400mt x 400mt. Whenever unable to provide any ubiquitous visual reference the numpad notation can be used to further subdivide a square.

      The numpad notation might be more effective than placing markers when communicating across squads or when describing recon plane reports: “plenty of red dots in Fox 3, numpads 4, 7 and 8” might be more effective than “enemies north-east”.

      TY for generalising this im portant stuff, i missed that, coming from ArmA 🙂

       

      And hey – is it actually possible to build nodes in enemy base sector, as of actual game update??

      I think its impossible to build nodes in locked enemy territory now?

    • #53634

      Nice, very useful.

      Always a struggle when you hear “enemies over there” or “enemies to the left” haha!

      Yea, thank you for sharing, i really miss precise callouts even for pings with the numpad system. i was so used to it, and in nearly every training i participated in HLL i made the experience, that most of the people dont knew what i meant with the numpad x callout 🙂

      Very useful tip to use numpad for location since not all maps are not oriented the same way.

    • #86792

      Is within PBS the numpad or keypad preferred? That also can lead to confusion as well. Always designate as: F3 key4 or F3 num4

      Numpad=
      789
      456
      123

      Keypad (generally used internationally):
      123
      456
      789

      Good to describe the terminology, so that everyone understand the same. Expanded with all the other abbreviations is a great starter place for beginners! 🙂

      Zone and Sector are indeed much better regarding call out. Just wondering 1 thing, the numpad sounds strange for me. Im used to saying Grid 1-9. I think this is a more general way of saying which grid you talking about in that sector.

      Just my 2 cents. Im just an veteran FPS gamer that is holding to old habits 🙂
