I believe there should be some more voice commands, mostly for vehicle work. When I don't have a mic on, and I see an object, I want to be able to voice command the general direction so my gunner knows where to look. A simple voice command chart could replace the current one every time you get into a vehicle, or it replaces only a few of the voice commands. Like the ones nobody ever uses, such as "check your fire", that's done automatically anyways. The voice command could either be calling out compass directions NW W SW etc... or it could say Left right etc... A cooler feature would be pointing in a certain direction and pressing a button and an arrow points in that general direction. The only reason I think this would be good is because of now, vehicles like the sunderer and harasser don't have reticules to easily spot targets with. Most of the time the gunner wont notice if it's in a crowded place as well.
Yeah I would love a system like this. A callout to ask for a gunner, one for open fire, and one for close fire, and a callout for both direction and elevation would be fantastic. Though I'm guessing they expected voip to fill that role.
Proxy chat works great, but only when you have a mic in, and when the other person has voice chat turned on I know that most times when I don't have my headset on, I turn off voice chat because I don't enjoy listening to a bunch of people blather on about random things. And some people have sound turned off as well, so a visual notification would be cool also.
Please don't ask for more features when you yourself admit to not using the existing ones to their full potential for petty reasons. (That includes text chat.)
No need to over complicate a UI with an overload of commands when you can simply plug in a cheap mic.
I have a mic in most of the time, but when you are using a vehicle such as a harasser and you are picking up random people, most of them don't listen or don't have voice turned on. And a vehicle like the harasser requires speed to survive, so typing in the middle of a vehicle battle isn't ideal. The text is also not very noticeable, and will be missed most of the time.
i know the one everyone is eager for is a "need a gunner!"/"transport available" command to let people know you need folks in your vehicle. honestly they don't need to add a new one but instead could replace a useless one like the ambiguous "Help!" lol
