A 6th Radio Channel

[LLogann]

Squad Channel does something special though................  Orange is full with 3 squaddies in it.  I get to Blue and find 7 of us.  I can use Squad Channel to talk to ALL members of the squad regardless of what Arena they are in and tell them we have a bunch over in Blue .  9 times out of 10, that's what we use Squad Channel for.

This frees up one more text channel, unless you are actually using the Squad Channel.

What are you using for tuned vox channel and are you actually using the RED Squad channel for text?

I ask because if you use a tuned vox channel as "squad vox" you can also use the same tuned channel for text by pressing Shift + / and typing.  The text comes over the tuned vox channel this way.

This frees up one more text channel, unless you are actually using the Squad Channel.

some people may be on that vox that are not in squad yet or fly along just for fun...therefore you may want squad talks that arent including these tag alongs... +1

I would like two vox channels, one for squad vox/tuned vox channel the other for my wingman

[Spikes]

Two squad voxes would be sweet...7 texts would be sweeter!

[LLogann]

OH SNAP...  In theory, the 2nd would be tuneable for things such as room or squad even!  (Squad vs. Channel as 321BAR pointed out)

Just a thought but how many channels were ON at once in a typical WW2 fighter?

Didn't they need to re-tune to talk or hear a second channel?

If you were Russian, you were lucky to have that single channel.

One more would be cool.  The only downside of adding another one is the small amount of time (relatively speaking) that it would take to do.  Probably not that big a deal either way though.  We already have 5.

True, but for the most part they were not leading from the front either.
No they'd be back at HQ where they had ???? radios? plus phone, radar, etc.

We don't have anyone sitting back at HQ telling us whats happening, coordinating things. Hence some of us want more channels so we can do it while flying.

How can you argue that......

A whole new level of comm discipline can evolve if we were to have an additional vox.....Wingman Channel.

And make it so that if you don't have a GameID in there, it can be a tuneable text the same way Channel Comm works..... Or without saying all that, the same way Radio 5 works. 

But I digress.......

I just want a 6th radio channel, very much similar for the reasons that the fine Gent from the Great White North, almost, would want it!
