I recently saw a video where a ex marine was reacting or Arma 3, and in one of the clips one person was telling the other person that he was going to throw a flashbang into the house, the ex marine said you would communicate something like that with hand signals as someone inside may understand english and warn the people in the house. This isnt really a problem as there is squad VOIP but would be cool for milsim.

Implementation: have one person select an action from a chat wheel, after select the character raises their hand and does a sort of animation and an emoticon or a short line of text above them displays(for only near by teamates) their suggested action.

Game is to chaotic, its hard to peoples for tracking of 5 enemy around and it will be even harder to pay attention for 20 team mates hand animations and text appear above meaning.

hand signals is very hard feature, even tarkov, fully milsim game, tried to and it never used (excuse me, hand signal "hello" is always used as fun thing). players most of time dont want to learn something new. it could be like social icons with arrows on screen side. once people press "hold fire" - you see icon, nickname and arrow, like your head has more eyes on the back

some games tried to implement hand signal "direction" like marker does. if you near teammate and he is using hand signal - you see shadow rendered circle to estimate direction he points. only as checkbox "we believe milsim", gaming purpose is zero

#

one interesting no-noise feature i saw in arma too. there's a mode of team control "silence" and the actor start to say in a whisper. same checkbox, same purpose, just fun
