Unable to give orders over the radio

I've transfered to a destroyer in the 3rd campaign.. and in the 1st mission ( patrol), i noticed that while the other destroyer in squad i could radio, it was #9, the frigates (#10 and 11 on radio) I couldn't call.. if I hit 11, it just goes to #1, then messege 1.
Maybe condensing the squadron comm into Desron #xxxx , and same for all cap ship comm?

Yea, it's even worse with CV's once you send out a bunch of fighter groups. I think they need to add another level to the radio to catagorize things down further. Perhaps a group then ship to break it down further or 9 = fighters (you could at least have 0 through 9 or 10 fighter groups on radio)

Maybe allow mouse click to select? that would make it easier since I seem to be using the mouse to select differen stuff anyway...
<note to self: taking on 2 cruisers in 1 destroyer.. face to face .. is a bad, Bad BAD idea>

The question is did you even get one into the red before going up in flames?

downed one to about 70 or 60 armor. Which brings me to the next point... I ordered the other destroyer to help me out.. yet it was soooooooo far out of position it wasn't funny. When I meen formation.. I expect it 1 meter away
or at least an option of having it right there... line abreast

it's best to order them around with Move Patrol, IMHO.

Yep, never use escort and yourself as the target, they will not be in a useful position to shoot to save you. Just like any other game that exists about war, you always want the attacks coming from a 90 degree offset.
