Infantry comms

Post by KingKong.CCCP »

Bearing in infantry sq doesn't make sense, in 95% of the cases.
I stopped paying any attention to people talking degrees few years ago, and I noticed most of the players ignore this info also. I tested the hypothesis by yelling "enemy 395 from my position" many times in a fight. Nobody ever said wtf or commented on such a silly info.
So if you're with me, you may as well yelling "Aggabuaggabuggaaa! "

Spotting using map grid in infantry fight is a bad habit.
Players usually do this when they are down and they are bored. They have a map in front of them, cos they're waiting for a medic, so they observe what's going on... Don't listen to them. I have been killed way to many times trying to find the grid, only to realize it's right in front of me, or on me.
So if you're in my squad, you may as well be yelling "This is the way, we want it to be, the way of the warrior!"


Usually you should keep the chatter in radio as minimum as you can.
95% of stuff players say on squad radio is useless, it's just white noise. Stop doing it, use locals. Way better. Almost

Yes, you can mute people
Alt+tab, open PR Mumble from tray, find the guy on the list, rightclick+localmute.

When down, calling for medic over squad radio helps the enemy

People who are down tend to lye about the "one enemy" on them

There is no 395 degrees in PR. You are playing a different game.
We are staying up!

Hes making fun of the fact that that is actually 35 degrees.

Bearing is always useful when the squad is close together and yelled in local.

One small addition to PR Mumble, ability to create a specific shortcut would mean a lot to the veteran players.
I hope there will be understanding among PR Mumble developers to add this new feature for 1.4.

He's making fun of the people who mistake 345 degrees for 395 because the 4 looks a bit like a 9 in-game. But there are only 360 degrees in a circle.

We currently have no one working on PR Mumble so dont get your hopes up for any changes.
