I think I'll copy guidelines like the ones below to a seperate thread, so we won't have all our "lessons learned" hidden in this thread. Before I start doing that, any comments on the below or more ideas?

Avoiding Friendly Fire Guidelines:
- Do not open fire before positive IDing the target, even at the cost of let it survive.
- Report when manning enemy vehicles and static weapons loudly and assertively to make sure everybody got it.
- Report when moving into the fire arc of a friendly team. Especially when flanking the enemy or circling around an obstruction, friendly fire is likely to happen if you pop up at a position where friendliest are not expected.
- Remain aware of friendly units positions and the general plan. I have a feeling most friendly fire incidents happened last night because of players didn't really pay attention to Teamspeak.
A Communication guideline:
When directing a question to all units, use the negative form. Instead of asking "is everybody clear of the radar?" ask "I'm about to detonate, is there anyone still close to the radar?". The first form will just make people replying "yes" but sometimes they refer only to themselves (please avoid that people, when the leader asks a question that is addressed to the whole team, don't reply unless you know the condition of all units, and even then, don't just say "yes" or "no", phrase the reply in full, for example - "everybody is inside the chopper". This will remove any doubt)
The fewer men, the greater share of honor
