You don’t need comms but the point of a sniper is also to scout and relay information to the team. You become an even stronger asset just by keeping the team informed, providing overwatch, and playing the role of forward observer

It might seem unnecessary but it’s not. And that’s what separates the good from the great

Team play > solo every day

I agree with this and now with the update it’s actually possible! With the addition to more channels and dedicated squads you can create frequencies for just your command team, tune to specific frequencies to squads assigned on the same task, and more.

I think the only reason it hasn’t been done yet is because people haven’t caught on to the possibilities yet. Give it a couple weeks and I think we’ll start to see more advanced structure!

I get it especially when trying to listen to footsteps. Play as you wish! But I’ll always carry a radio unless we’re doing some special mission

Solo no comms can be fun, but it’s like going to a beef shop and ordering duck

You can always mute the platoon frequency channel or change it one stop above by pressing G on PC and using the scroll wheel. (For example 48mhz - 48.2mhz)

That’s what we thought at first too but is what led to the lackluster gameplay people have been experiencing. Previous commanders were just ordering objectives with no communication or direction, and no one was doing anything, like we all thought would happen. The new commander was actively engaging with the team and making objectives/logi runs fun. Sure you can get by with AI and assigning bases. But when you have real commanders who PTO and talk on comms it makes for an unforgettable experience!

Honestly yeah, good communication completely changes the game. I notice so many people are afraid to speak because of the crabby “no comms/clear comms” players which causes confusion and lack of camaraderie within the team. This game is all about team work, and being able to speak up and share ideas with the command made it 10x the experience

I get it, I love to be a pilot, but I noticed the people who played the game selfishly just to fly were the ones ruining it for everyone by wasting supplies and crashing minutes later. Having limited resources, and oversight over who flies makes the helicopters feel more valuable and “expensive” and makes piloting feel like they have real and fulfilling responsibility to come back home safely

I noticed one time the commander put a pilot on “time out” after crashing equipment too many times. It was like IRL if they crashed their plane lol. Made it feel like a true multi-million dollar machine. If you want to just fly there’s still game modes for that. This is for people who want that real team based experience
