I had that trouble a few days ago. My mic was dead. Flew a Storch towards a Vspawn,
where several nme GV's were ib. Had 2 friendly tanks I was spotting for.
One of the guys kept saying that I wouldn't respond on radio when he called
for info. I kept typing on local to READ THE TEXT!!!! lol
Finally, after a few minutes he caught on.
I guess people don't like to read anything but white, or purple not eye-catching enough, lol
