Enhanced communication wheel(s)

Suggestions
1

I wish there was two wheels you could tap through on console or pick on PC so there could be a larger range of communication between players in game! It would allow players to strategize and make gameplay more effective and efficient yet it would increase the amount of players who enjoy the game because they now have the ability to talk to players in game and cross console. Players now feel that they have support and can give support in game. It would feel very uplifting and reassuring knowing you could at-least communicate things to people and at least try to achieve an epic victory with combined arms to the fullest degree possible!

I.E

(I know some are already on there currently in game)

1st wheel:
HELP
Sorry
Awesome
Thank you
Great shot
Need Support
Need Ammobox
Need rally point
Need repairs
Need medical
Affirmative
Negative

2nd wheel:
Capture objective
Assault objective
Defend objective
Requesting air support
Requesting tank support
Requesting Artillery support
Flank left
Flank right
Defend position
Hold position
Suppressing fire
Hold fire

This has been on my mind for some time. I really wish this was already in the game. Feel free to critique or criticize in anyway.

What do you think?

How long ago have they been made? Are they recent or dated? I’m only asking because I’ve scrolled through this suggestion forum to see if I could find anything on it and I have not unfortunately.

Both recent and old.
Because we need more communication in the game, the suggestions keep coming up.
So good that you suggest it too.
Some of the topics I remember, there are more:

Communication is barely used in this game unfortunately. At least on PC.

But sure, I don’t see why not

And feel like this one is more complete than others that I have seen so far.

@SheepleRnutz Some poor fool asking for the same thing we’ve been asking at Infinity even though they removed the yes and no function for some magical reason.

MissingMayhem13 You need to get this in your head the devs hate the concept of a kill zone they don’t like us working together you see how devastating death stack is could you imagine what happened if the lobby worked together.

Its fairly rare on console too, but primarily because its got such few options to choose from.

Other than the plane spamming “I need enemy coordinates”
OR
A player that felt it was “not their job to bring engineers” spamming for ammo boxes or rally points.

Things we could really use are things like

  • group up/ prepare for unified attack

  • we need smoke cover

  • we need suppressing fire

  • we need defenses

  • beware of tank

  • beware of plane

  • watch out for the flank

  • flank the enemy position

  • FALL BACK

  • etc.

All they have to do is copy Battlefield 1942’s comms that used the F1-F0 for submenus.

Hell I bet the copyright on those audio files is expires anyway, there are some gems in there in all the appropriate nations/factions we have in game. US/UK/GER/JAPAN/ITALY
