Confirmed, group action and target menus use directions relative to the formation heading, using language that implies true bearings. They even using cardinal directions (North, East, etc) with North being straight ahead irrespective of it's true orientation!
Expected:
Cardinal directions should only ever be used for true bearings (relative to the world).
O'clock (or some other dissimilar method) should be used for relative bearings.

Something's definitely wrong with it now. I turn to bearing to face the enemy, and all of a sudden he's behind me. Nope, to the right of me. Wait I mean the left. This mothafucka is FAST!
