Folks- I've got over 10k battles without ever utilizing a headset or having game chat turned on. My son turned it off a couple hundred games into his/my WoT career and I've always just played with the radial commands. Truth be told, I don't really use them too much either since they might as well be invisible to the other 14 tanks on my team, or at least I can count on two hands the times that people actually seemed to respond (exaggeration).
My question is whether or not you turn game chat on when playing solo? If so, I imagine I'll have to purchase a headset and figure out how to even activate game chat on my XBOX360.

Unless you find humour in listening to potato talk, it's not worth it.

i try to turn it off purely because i find nothing more annoying than when some random is trying tell me what to do, he's having a adverse effect by distracting me from what i am doing, being a complete detriment towards

That's exactly the advice my son gave me. I guess ignorance is bliss. Thanks for the responses.

Lately I've been leaving it on. The vast majority of the time it's a total waste and I just wind up muting people. Sometimes you hear amusing things, like the latest conspiracy theory. And sometimes, just sometimes, you get some randoms actually trying to organize which makes it worthwhile.

No, i either create a private party or unplug the headset and listen to music while not platooning.
Then i don't have to waste time muting annoying players.

well, if you want to hear Gen. Yeehaw Patton and Brazilian Kinect mics, go ahead and go into gamechat. If you don't like it like a normal person, don't use gamechat

I like to play the sound of my oven pre heating and me using salt and pepper shakers in public chat. All the potatoes go ape shit

I like to listen in. Until someone starts cursing the team out because he died in less a minute and then I tell them to piss off.

I don't use it that often, unless I hear someone asking for help or recognize another player on the team.

I always have it off, however Violet doesn't and i play co-op on her profile with her often, and typically, game chat is just annoying, full of clueless idiots bitching about the fact that a tier 8 just penned their tier 6s side armour. I've heard 1 worthwhile thing so far "I'm in a Black prince...yeah, it used to have armour that was worth a damn, now it's shit due to all the new tanks they added, the tanks gone soft... It's now the Black Princess."

If you're bored or want entertainment sure, but otherwise it's pretty pointless to try to communicate to the randoms on your team. Good advice will usually get you flamed/trolled or just rile the potatoes up for telling them how they should play their tank. Kind of like the walking dead, best just let the mindless herd shuffle past you

I don't know about you guys but a few updates ago, I found the in game chat went to shit. I can't hear anyone unless I turn off all tank sounds. It used to be crystal clear but now it's just awful.
So to answer your question, No I am usually on mute unless I am in a particularly foul mood and start raging at the mental midgets.

I will have it on and muted. I'll listen to what is being said but only chime in if needed.

No. I've never heard anyone say anything that is anywhere close to intelligent. Not worth it in the slightest.

I keep the chat turned down very low. If it is an end-game situation and it is just me and maybe 1 other green alive, and he is talking, I will turn up the tv volume to see if he is trying to coordinate with me. Otherwise, I really don't want to hear the Kinnect Mics and the incessant chatter
