Squad comms idea
Hi! So playing with microphone and VOIP turned off you are left with very little communication options available. There are players who don't like to open up microphone and then there are players who...

I play in Europe, where the number of different languages are pretty high and English/American is not a main language for most of the players.
In-game VOIP is never used in casual game-play, I have been playing a lot of BF (since BF3) and have never heard anyone use the in-game VOIP (literally never, during several thousands hours of gameplay).
But as others have said, the problem is keeping things simple. The ping-system is just point and click and should have no further input, which means it can either ping an enemy or a place on the map, adding additional options (clicks) would probably make them even less used.
But the comm-rose could be improved and the options you mentioned could be implemented there instead.
Thank you for responding! I try to remain optimistic with possibilities. Lack of comms is what has caused Battlefield to become chaotic mess and it may decrease enjoyment of players who want organised play. This idea is trying to break confidence and language barrier. Keeping it simple.
Kindness is underappreciated trait which is why some may not want to speak with strangers.
Good idea!
I would like to see Dice do something with Coms in game. Much prefer an open mic - its supposed to be a team game anyway. What about an automatic channel between tank crew or pilot and gunner?
So much more fun when you can hear each other - hate Warzone but love playing quads when everyone is talking. Some great laughs sometimes.
I'd just love to bump into Stone Mountain online when he's doing this. I bet the rest of the squad were more engaged with team than if he wasn't there.
