Add proximity chat voice🙂

Game Discussion Infantry mode (WiP)

Joking aside, I think it would really help with coordination on the battlefield, something like the task force radio in Arma 3. In a scenario where you need to coordinate quickly with other squads or armored vehicles in the area, text chat or quick voice messages are not sufficient

War thunder players is like the average MW2 lobby.

Would be perfect if they could add it with a really small proximity. Would be hilarious to hear people shout slurs as you zoom past their burning plane with a doppler effect.

we already have voice chat

I think this would be a great way to see the doppler effect in action

I really would love it, as there can be better coordination depending on the type of players they are. However, there are more whiners, trash talkers, yelling and screaming based off from what I seen on other games than proper communications. If Gaijin does set this without the need of a squad and the whole team can VC, better have it off as default. I don’t want to hear kids yelling or some dude being negative if I do have it on.

It’s just better to do it in squads or discord vc than in game imo.

The way we have it in WT right now – the radio menu (T button) with automated voiceovers – is pretty sufficient. Any type of proximity voice wouldn’t make much sense. Maybe for high-tier MBTs, but for lower tiers?

Here are some arguments against proximity comms in WT:

  • Historical Reality: During WW2, not every tank had a radio. Only Germany implemented full comms for all tank commanders from the start.
  • Immersion: Even with full comms, you’re not supposed to hear every single bit of info from everyone around you. It would destroy what’s left of the game’s realism.
  • Audio Chaos: Even in 8x8 battles with a team stacked fairly close, the chat would just turn into a loud murmur mixed with engine sounds, making it useless for actual coordination.

Simple solution: play with friends and use Discord. It’s much more effective and keeps the communication clear.
