It’d be really cool if infantry could start requesting allied tank support and/or an allied bombing run when they encounter a hostile tank and well set up enemy positions. It’d also be awesome if multiple squads could start coordinating assaults and defences together. A lot of us want the game to be more tactical but without the ability to chat with other squads, we just can’t work together as much as we otherwise could. So please introduce the ability to switch your chat to team chat. It’s also really frustrating when you’re injured and dying and there are teammates nearby but they don’t know that you’re down. We can’t call to them or communicate with them in any way. We also can’t communicate with the players close to us about enemy positions, like where hostile snipers and MGs are. So please, introduce the ability for us to switch to proximity chat where player should within say a 20m radius can hear us. The options should could be added to the commurose Another thing, is that it’d be useful if mapping squares (not sure what they’re called, see link below) were added to the minimap and the enlarged map (to open press select (that button to the left of the main menu button)) so that we can use coordinates to coordinate our attacks [https://goo.gl/images/KHhKNn](https://goo.gl/images/KHhKNn) (the numbers 87,88,89,90,etc 20,21,22,23,etc) ---

It’d also be useful if you could toggle your mic so only people who’re within ~40m of you could here you. This way you could coordinate with just those around you and people would be more helpful with calling out enemy positions and alerting nearby allies to threats ---

These mic functions should be made so that you can toggle them quickly. For example, another ‘wheel of options’ (like the one for calling for medics and ammo etc) could be added, one that you use the left thumb stick to navigate ---

I just played a game in the alps(?) where on like half a dozen occasions everyone else on my team went down the same narrow passageway in the mountains. Do they all have dunce caps on? Could we please have a means for telling people not to do stuff like that? ---

I’m totally with you. At the very least, it’d be awesome having proximity voice chat. I can perhaps understand not having VOIP for the whole team due to potential spam (though a mute feature would obviously counter it), but prox chat would be incredibly useful especially for vehicles and the like. ---

I totally agree with your point. Coordinates is one small step but a big improvement on team play and tactical play. With this new feature, players can easily deliver the location point to your teammate. It also encourages player to use mic to communicate, to make the game life!! ---
