Per Field chat command (like the .p command)

[Ciaphas]

My wish for the year is to have a command similar to the .P command that will allow for an individual to communicate with those within radar range of any specified field. This would be handy for those of us that fly long missions in buffs.

It would be used in the following manner:

.A43 blah blah blah blah

It will help air/ground coordination tremendously

For those that will say "That's why we have "Range" channel".  This would be useful for a pilot that is 2 or 3 sectors away from a friendly field that is attacking the same target you are heading to.

  We have the "Room" channel.  Message sent to the Room channel will only go to those who launched from the same field that you launched from.

The room channel only works within a certain range of an ally. My wish is to have a means of contacting a specific field range while outside of it's range without clogging up country channel.

This would be very useful to the long haul cats with coordinating air cover and other tactic eyes on information in regards to the localized mission needs.

two sectors would be ideal for AC to Tower communication.

One of the two, either range or room, work to communicate with players that lifted from the same base, regardless of distance between them.  Cant recall which one now, cant really test it til tonight or tomorrow.

This is not for those that lift from the same base.

Here is an example:

Bomber ups from A13 and intends to hit A20 5 sectors away. the bomber has allies at A15) 1 Sector south of A20.

Bomber tunes chat to A15 and calls out "inbound A20 for FH/Vh". allies respond via range "CC, Altitude and heading"? Bomber (still tuned to A15) "heading 180 @ 12k". Allies (on range channel) "CC, can you hit the town? It's De-acked and ready to be prepped". Bomber (Still tuned to A15) "CC, ETA 10 min on A20 town, keep the cons low.".


make more sense?

Room channel does not send to all people at the field rather only those in the same room and field number  as you. Inflight from the same field is one room, tower is a room, o club is a room, hangar is a room.

Inalao think this would be a great tool for all around big picture situational awareness as it would allow direct communication with those in a particular area with out having to PM someone or blasting out and cluttering the country room.

I'm a believer that team communication helps the game so I like this idea.

Perhaps VOX could be modified to add the Alpha Numeric base number. EX: A32. or V28.  This "Base Channel" would let those that are tuned talk to anyone who is in a room or upped from a that base and vice versa. This would eliminate the need to coordinate with everyone to decide on and tune to a fixed VOX channel first. It would eliminate the need to keep repeating the what VOX the base defense is being coordinated on as new players join the fight.
