Tips to run a good squad when you're the leader
1. Always use your points for reinforcements (hold L1+R1 or LB+RB)
2. Always use your points smart (don't use a smoke barrage on an objective that's already being taken, and don't use an artillery strike if you haven't checked the area for enemies yet)
3. Always stay close to your squad. Never know when you'll get caught down a dark alley.
4. Have at least one medic in your squad
5. When attacking objectives, set orders accordingly as the other squad captains can't see orders like in BF1
6. When setting objectives in a map where the objectives are set in the same position, set it to the objective that starts in the first letter of the alphabet and slowly move down the line, taking objectives along the way
7. While defending an area, let your squad defend you while you fortify the objective (you are the captain, ya know)
8. Always stay close to your squad. Not only for the extra points you get when you're capturing a set objective with ya bois, but squad members can always revive you, no matter what class they are.
9. I highly recommend using the support class when playing as squad leader as you can build cover for your squad lickity split and get points doing it.
10. When playing as a squad leader, your position can get taken if a member has noticed you aren't giving orders and he requests an order repeatedly. You can fix this by setting an order or requesting reinforcements
