Hey guys, I have been thinking about how there is no voice chat feature in this game. Yes, there is a squad chat, but it would be great to have a way to communicate between tanks on the radio or something. This game is perfect for something like that. I know people might use bad language, but in my opinion, it’s part of the experience. I would love to hear any comments or suggestions from the OG, veteran, High battle IQ, High Level juicer War Thunder players. I am all ears!
I think it would be a good idea. I personally don’t like to type while in a battle. It would improve teamwork and make the game more enjoyable. For the toxic issue, maybe a mute for that player, block, or blacklist can fix it. Also a choice to even engage the voice chat before the game. Would be nice so streamers can still enjoy creating streams for their followers. Teamwork would improve and game play would become more popular. So I think it could be a great idea. If options to mute or block toxic players voices and team voice chat. I hope this will go through. Thank you for your time cg7714
I would like to add, when in battle you are to warn a team mate of a shadow attack on them. Maybe you could click on their tank or plane then voice your warning. When doing so, it would flash on that team mates screen exclamation mark or something to identify direct voice message. As another way of warning someone with the up most timely important information.
I have to say , I see other people concerns of toxic players, but I see also how this would improve game play as well.
In Gaijin’s previous games we had voice chat with no issues, it’d massively help the game in my opinion. Just give us the option to mute players and we’re good.
I don’t think we’d turn into CoD with the mics as lets be honest the CoD crowd don’t exactly like this type of gameplay. They’re more into Nicki Minaj skins and hyperactive gameplay.
Plus it’d be nice to put voices to the names, I bet you’re all as smooth as Barry White chewing a Mars bar. “Attack the D point baby… you’re my first! My last…my everythang”.
Even a better idea, during battle you have to point and hit key or click on ally. In order to vc with them but only for 5 seconds. This will also show up on battle chat. By using speech to text.
This will eliminate possible toxic players. Even add the choice to allow this feature to work or not before battle. If they enjoy the use of such feature but have toxic players interference. They can permanently mute such player.
I’m only throwing ideas to see if any thing will stick.
Yes, that is the idea. Still be able to help teammates and be able to prevent the toxic issues from ruining the game. Also the choice not to involve yourself at all with vc . In order to create your streams or not interested in participating at all. Little alone you can mute or permanently mute/ block toxic issues. This will (my opinion) improve team work and game play.
Tone police would be mad that gaijin wouldn’t be able to moderate voice chat properly, que “think of the children” etc. so we can’t have it, and never will.
You can tell them “just don’t turn on VC then”, but these types are people are just mad that they wont be apart of something they don’t want to participate in anyways.

Ideally you would have a team chat and a proximity chat (team only), a way to opt out of voice chat entirely, and a mute button next to every player when you hit tab so you can mute them easily.
Moderating voice chat is a significantly more complicated effort than text, requires them to save all that voice data in client replays, etc.
I’m not sure of all the technical aspect of it. I was thinking if using speech to text software was possible. Then have it show up also in battle chat during game. So, it will all be in the same transaction as replays etc…
I would only be looking at proximity team chat with vc. The rest of what you said is correct. Except vc for a limited time. 3-5 seconds at a time would be sufficient to get your point across.
Yes, with in reason and I understand too. The same thing happen to me. So the more people that support this idea and show it. The higher the chances to get this approved.
I really think this , if done right can be very helpful in game and get more people to play the game.
