Why can't there be both? I don't see how infantry having the ability to provide target spotting in this way is not teamwork oriented. And it's the data that the squad leader can use to figure out where to properly place air support markers. I see what you are saying though. You don't want everyone in the squad to know the intel because they won't make proper tactical decisions on what to do and will break away in pursuit of an objective that the squad hasn't set. Ok, well allow all troops to spot but give that intel only to the squad leader.
Sorry, went a little off topic... Was relevant though....
