During my years of playing, there's been a number of berevity codes i've come across. There's as many different ones as there are squads, but there are some codes which generally are used by all. I'm glad to see Pyro trying to get some standard for us to use in here, but I fear they may be a bit hard to beat into the masses. The beatings will continue until all comply
In any case, here's a set i've come across, compliments of the 56th - I can't recall where we stole this from. If you have more success beating it into your squad then I have with mine, let me know your secrete. Thank God for VOX.... when it works

to use, and may switch during the engagement depending on
tactic / technique.
- Designated by Flight Leader when choosing tactic / technique
to use, and may switch during the engagement depending on

Formation - The Flight Leader will (read that strongly advised) designate a
formation after launch. When not engaged, the Wingman will attempt to fly
this formation until ordered into a different formation, or into a tactic /

The wingman will always fly slightly behind the Flight Leader at the designated
