So i get the occasional group invite in-game… How do we coordinate BR and Faction? There’s no way for them to even tell me what discord server they might be in? No text chat even?! It seems to me that you need to be with someone in discord first, then invite… Which makes ‘lfg’ kind of pointless. And I can’t get on enlisted servers anymore because I said some bad stuff about Churchill, lol. Can we get a text chat for in-group, in-game?

Here is the funny part: You dont.
After all this time DF still refuse to add any kind of group/ lobby chat for some stupid reason…
It would improve the game by so much but right now you better have your mates on discord aswell or you are in for a nasty suprise once the match starts.

I play in a group of 7 active players (From this forum)
We have messages thread everyone communicates on. We are about to start a third once since we they close at 500 posts.
We all agree upon a set of BRs currently USSR3 US5 Jap5 German 3. Anyone can suggest a BR change we take a poll if a majority agree its the default BR for group play. We adjust to how crappy a current BR situation is. BR 2 German became unplayable. USSR 3 is well balanced for maps. German 3 all maps. We communicate a lot in our message thread.
You can use the “Start” button to flash people if you are the host to let them know something is off. IE wrong BR, chance to change your wrong BR, or if everyone is fine fighting above their BR. If they are not with the program I remove then add so that specific person knows they are the one who need more time, adjust BR etc etc.
People make excuses for the chat. It is literally in so many games. So native voice chat client in game is not the same as asking for a basic ability to chat pre and post match? Asking for chat is beating a dead horse. They don’t want to do it for whatever reason. Solo players push back against it as well.
Discord is too much, the game has built in discord. Less latency (maybe?). Our group does just fine without voice chat.
I doubt they banned you for mentioning Churchill, He like Hitler and Stalin were public figures and leaders of their nations. So to say Go team Hitler playing Germany may upset some people, but he was the guy in charge and playing a video game about such a tragic event kind of removes all connection to the horrors of it. They also have a chat filter. This game is SUPER mild that way. Years of playing very few instances of people being racist and homophobic. VERY few.
I find this hard to believe unless you were playing in a custom lobby. The main Squad mode servers wouldn’t be so petty, but some custom lobby hosts are extremely thin-skinned.
Hey LokalHero, could you please close my old topic, A alternative Thompson for br 3 Germany: The 1921 Thompson with 30 round mag (MP-761(a)) cause I’m making a new version for this suggestion.
No worries mate. Consider it done.

Not sure why lobby chat would be so difficult but evidently there is a major roadblock. The devs have known about this request for years.

yeah, I said some factual stuff about Churchill and got banned. Hint: it regarded his mother side and his ‘advisors’ as well as the people who purchased his house from him well above market rates. The man was a drunk and a traitor. Proof: The number one name in the UK right now is mohammed… So, how did that work out? Regardless, I’ve been kicked off plenty of sights for posting 'non-PC history" like quoting Irving.
Drunk, sure. Traitor, no.
And your “proof” proves nothing. It’s a spurious statistic that is not, and cannot, be attributed to Churchill.
But let’s not go down this road. Let’s keep the thread on-topic.
So you are arguing with an automated system to checks historical accuracy on name calling? Balderdash and poppycock! I call humbug on you thumper, no right halet is going to sell a lords manor listening to your kruger proof story. That is my way of saying Public game “BS”. Not even sure people get banned outside of cheating. The game has filters.
Europe’s immigration problem is something totally different. Not even sure that is something they give any fucks about as well. It is historically accurate to say the guy married a 12 (Its even sicker, they sported a few years) year old. But if you call him a pedophile you would have millions of people up in arms. They call it “hate speech” It is one crazy thing I thought about the World Cup coverage is that you can get arrested in Europe for offending a migrant or saying something about the past that literally is true. In American you can call our president the same thing without historic fact and the leftist media will praise you like the second coming of whatever dark God they pray too.
Germany comes across as WW2 version of white guilt. England, France, Belgium, Italy all have the blood of many people on their hands. BUT End of the day its a video game and I do not think they have a histrionic filter, nor does it have the depth to verify something so obtuse as your statement. Churchill is a public figure there are literally different rules about what you can say about them.
" You can say terrible things about historical figures because they are dead. Defamation and libel laws protect living people from false harmful statements, but those legal rights end when a person dies."
Not sure what the TOS says about speech but you can pretty much say what you want. Add other languages not a chance of catching it. I can speak a little bit of Vietnamese, Thai and Spanish enough to say terrible things but it would be a limited audience much like the interest in Churchills housing scandal.
Get in a good group, like lxusss said, use forum chat to prearrange is the best so far.
lobby chat has been overdue
