I never use game chat. I'm always in a party, either by myself or with a friend. If it comes down to it, I can have some success with radial commands.

Although, I am going to get a headset from Wal-Mart to see if I can get a former or two to platoon with me so I see what it is like working with someone to coordinate focus fire, work flanking maneuvers and just generally work as a team; something that I don't get much playing solo.

I used to play with my headset on all the time. Now I generally leave it unplugged unless I'm in a platoon, or the off chance that I see a forumer on the green team.

Sometime I actually put thought in to posts only to have them completely ignored while someone with a misspelled one word insult will be quoted 50 times. People these days

I always have it on, but people rarely communicate on the EU server. Sure, you'll get the occasional barking dog, or the tankie that likes to play techno musical full blast while they do their thing, but for the most part there's nobody talking. Most people that play on the EU server speak very little English, so they probably find it very difficult to make out what I'm saying.

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. Private party user here as well. Not least If I stream people don't want to hear my in game but playing on the EU server, there is no reason for me to be hearing other languages I can't understand which just become an annoying distraction

I use my headset to make sarcastic remarks to the green team.
'Oh yeah, lets all go into the valley on Lakeville. We'll win for sure'.
'There you go! Turn yourself so your side is facing directly at that red tank, your strongest armor is on the sides!'
'If we all stay in our spawn, then that means they can't win by capping!'
Etc., etc.

I would say it is only 80 or 90% useless. I have all my audio patched through to a little desktop mixer though, so it is insanely easy for me to quickly mute the entire team if I don't like the chatter. Most people don't even have the headset adapter that lets you turn down the chat volume independently, so I get the whole "party by myself" approach, I just choose to keep the signal on until it doesn't suit me.
There are an awful lot of complainers in game chat though that like to bitch about their scout MM tank catching a scout MM game. That's gotta be the most commonly discussed item in WoTC team chat ever.

Some of the crap I've heard makes me feel like my life isn't so bad. Gotta say it occasionally improves language and dialect identification also. There's some stuff going on kids should not hear.
Used to bet with platoon mates they couldn't get random game chat teammate's cooperating with us. Nobody takes that bet anymore.

For being a team game, the communication in this game sucks. In the evenings, you get a ton of platoons who are all in party chat. Half your team right f the bat cannot be communicated with. The remaining players...you're lucky if one or two of them have a mic. And then when they do, you run into some canoe with a Kinect mic, or some 6 year old digital tank general that tells you what's what and rages when you don't do it.
Game chat is generally a fucking wasteland.

Just had a Encounter battle on Serene coast and I'm fighting the ridge on the East in my 140. Reds start capping the base and I ping "Defend the Base" and start hauling butt to get there. I roll into the circle out on the little island and It's only me and E 75 against an T110E5 and IS-7, T110E4 and a one shot Ru 251. I smoked the Ru and bounce two off the E5 took a hit from the IS-7 and then finished off the E5 that the E 75 had put two shots into. Finally our IS-7 rolls up and face hugs the red IS-7. I get behind him and catch him on fire on the second shot and soaked a hit to the tracks from the E4 (no clue how!!). The E 75 is dead now so me and the IS-7 gang up on the E4 and finish him off. We ended up winning, but we were down to 20ish seconds by the time we stalled the clock.
Funny thing is I ping'd the encounter circle multiple times until it said I was spamming and only three of us showed up. Sheesh.

Etc., etc. Lol I do this all the time too. If we ever platooned our collective snark would give the greens fits

Etc., etc. Don't laugh. I had a guy quite seriously bitching out the team once on Lakeville because only a couple tanks went into the valley. Because this was a guaranteed loss. Of course, that guy was still there in the valley trading shots with a T37 in his T29 when the rest of the greens killed the rest of the Reds and came into the other end of the valley to save him from the scary Light tank.

I keep it on, just to hear some of the comments (or from those ACTUALLY trying to help the team)
I especially like when people try to tell me, how to play my tank. Listen, I know what I can and CAN'T do. I don't have the reflexes some of you youngins' have, but I know how to play to my style. Would you rather have me run to the front line and get killed or wait....just a tad and get to my spot?
Either way,,,I'm grumpy and don't give a rats ass.
