Wish for 1 more VoX channel
« on: October 08, 2008, 11:20:32 AM »
I wish we could tune one more VoX channel.  It would have it's own PTT key, just like the current tunable VoX channel.

Thios would allow a pilot to tune 1 VoX channel to his Squad VoX, and the other VoX Channel to his wingman.  Doing this would minimize the Range Channel clutter a bit, make coordinating with your wingman much easier, and still be able to listen in and use Squad VoX.

Just a wish.

ideally a wingman channel.

Doing a .wingman gameid should not only turn someone's icon white, but should also tune them to a 3rd vox "wingman" channel.

This lets you monitor and communicate on existing range & tunable channels.

Yes. Lots of times I try to fly with a friend, while squaddies are on and not doing much. I switch VOX and 3 minutes later get messages on 4Squad on why I'm not on vox.

wish you could kill country vox some times to make it easier to communicate with wingmen.

And you can't tell who's talking to you. Which is fine if only 4 in a squad. But get over 50 and it starts getting interesting.

Where another channel in AH would show you who is talking.

I would wholeheartedly agree. Many times while most of my squad is currently operating somewhere, I would run a mission of my own (usually a bomber strike). During this, I try to keep my mission on local, or use a different channel altogether since it's less confusing for me. Many times my CO and I keep in touch on text as to my mission's progress. This is where a "wingman vox" would be handy, because in different situations (such as getting shot at), I can't type in a timely fashion. Excellent idea.

It would also be very useful for Bomber pilots to use to communicate with their Gunners while still maintaining their contact with their squad.
