If you totally ignore room text...

[Lusche]

... don't complain about the M18 sneaking up on your positions, because you chose not to read my warnings.   

Thank you.

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

I use to be notorious for not reading text. People thought I was ignoring them. I wasn't just couldn't seem to watch the text while flying.

Room text is a little misleading, you mean same sortie base text. No one can read it if they lifted from a different base than the typist

I'm surprised how often guys let enemy tanks drive right up to them or how often they spawn right in front of a camped vehicle hangar.

Very true.  I'd rather have a Range Text, like we have Range VOX.

VERY good to know, sirah!

This would be way more useful than what we have now!

Hopefully this could be implemented as a channel, such as Room-Country-Mission-All-etc.

I think the most misleading thing is that "room" is commonly called "range" text by the players

You do have range text, it's called "Room", range vox is called "Room" also.  The text is activated with a SHIFT /.

[SHIFT][/] is the keyboard shortcut for whatever you have tuned to Radio 2. It could be anything, not just "Room". 

Radio 1 - [/]
Radio 2 - [SHIFT][/]
Radio 3 - [CTRL][/]
Radio 4 - [ALT][/]

[Alky]

Only if you have "Room" tuned to radio channel 2. 

Radio 1 - [/]
Radio 2 - [SHIFT][/]
Radio 3 - [CTRL][/]
Radio 4 - [ALT][/]

I believe that's default, I've never changed it.

Sort of.  Room means "anyone who lifted/spawned from the same base you did"  Range means "anyone near by" (sorry, don't remember the distance)

If you spawn from a V base, and a plane is overhead, "room" text will not appear on their screen because you came from a different base.
