Hey there, as voice chat gives the feel like your playing a video game and not in a battle field, maybe walkie talkies will make it realistic, and it will support the historical accuracy since it was used in ww2, for example, if there is a powerful tank heading to the control point and i am hiding in a bush far away sniping, i will want to tell my teammates that the tank is coming, so if i press a button on my keyboard or mouse (idk which button) the character will take out a walkie talkie and then i can say what ever i want and my teammates will hear it, but it will sound like a walkie talkie! thx for reading my suggestion, i hope this helps enlisted be the best.
What walkie-talkies mate? This is WW2, out in the field you’d have nothing smaller than a backpack-sized radio set with a telephone attached by wire similar to what current Radio Operators carry in the game. True handheld radio only became available after the war.

That’s an SCR-536, which had a range of roughly a quarter of a mile and normally couldn’t be tuned to other frequencies out in the field. They were typically issued to part of a squad and tuned to transmit and receive to the squads backpack-sized SCR-300, which itself was used to communicate between squads and headquarters. Also no faction other than the Allies would have anything similar unless you stretch into the late 40s and early 50s.

Only be more realistic if they stretched into Cold War era.
i dont think the average infantryman had a walkie talkie in ww2 lmfao
Most players don’t even care about the marks and information I provide them in chat, I doubt they care about this either.
the allies can have it, the Ussr can have radios to communicate with others which they used instead of walkie talkies in ww2, the Germans can use the 2 way radio, and it will be more realistic, and only the head of the team will have this… just a cool feature. and srry for the message being late, i ran out
