Why should you have turn down any sounds in order to hear the VOX comms?
When we used RW or TeamSpeak, I could keep all sounds at higher levels and STILL hear everything being said over the comms channels.
IMO, it is super lame to have my engine sounds, etc have to be cut down to a much lower level so I can hear what my squadies are saying.
There is a bigger annoyance factor to that when we have a lot of guys up. When there is heavy radio traffic, the whole immersion factor goes away because I get barely audible engine, guns, stress noise, etc. for several seconds at a time.
AHV volume levels could certainly use a permanant boost. I would much rather being telling people to not speak so loud, rather than always telling them to speak up, or in some cases almost yell.
