nullHi there, I have finished my journey in FIWOS, and playing LOWOS.
Attached is a screenshot from FIWOS M05, Vacuum reported SAM info to player using "portal", while player relay this message to team using "bulls" and giving different info on the details.
Out of curiosity I'm wondering the difference, what I can find on internet it only says in military they use bullseye for common coordinate reference.
And another question is, what's the meaning of "tight" and "loose" in those dialogs?

So Portal is the code-name for the standing theater bullseye, when 'Portal' is used it will always be referencing this specific bullseye.

'Bulls' is a more generic term, it might get used interchangeably with Portal when the bullseye is set as Portal (depending on what I felt when I wrote it probably), but it will also be used when the bullseye is set elsewhere, as it sometimes is.

'Tight' and 'Loose' refer to confidence in the positions of the SAMs.  Tight means a higher degree of confidence in the stated position, loose a lower degree of confidence.

Hope that all makes sense!
