i dont know about anyone else, but it seems to me that tactics cant be enforced very well with radios. mostly because with radios you cant be as convincing to advance or something like that. when you stick together as team it gives you a more covered feeling, at most splitting up into two teams with at least 3 in each team would be effective, when youre teams job is to flank you have to be moving quickly which makes you more vulnerable to being seen and being attacked because chances are youre not paying attention to anything but where youre running, the only thing that makes me feel comfortable during this is when i hear a shots coming from the enemy AND the other friendly team whos job is probably to be distracting. but what it all comes down to is the players themselves, if you have players who dont care if they get hit, (which is me and im not saying that as if being scared of being hit i mean as in getting out but what alot of people dont realize is that if you get out quick than another game can start quicker), (continuing where i left off) you can have people use radios because you dont have to worry about them woosing out. but im not sure if my ideas are the best so if someone else wants to share their tactic ideas with me thatd be pretty helpful.

if at first your bbs don't hit them, its time to go full auto

radios are very helpful even if you are sticking together. staying in a group is a good idea for a lot of things, but some people like to go lone wolf. but even if you are staying together a radios helpful. you never want to stay in a tight group because tactically your going to get destroyed. if you are close enough to your group to whisper, then you are close enough to get killed in one spray.

radios let you stay organized, and not have to worry about proximity issues. so we can all push foreword, but we are not all right next to each other. say someone sees the guy on your left, and shoots. if you are 10 feet from him, chances are your going to be spotted too. but if you are 30 feet from him you might not have been seen. so if your friend does get lit up, you can engage the enemy. if your too close, the one enemy can keep you both pinned down. if you are far enough apart, he cant cover both of you. this will allow one of you to move and get a shot. radios allow you to do this, and stay in contact with your team without giving away your own position.

or say you do get shot. you head back, respawn, now what? wheres your team? do they know your coming? do you know where they are going? can you connect up with your squad without either A-friendly fire or B- giving away there position or yours?
radios allow you to do this, without causing as many problems. there are still communication problems of course, but it beats the hell out of yelling what your doing.

I would say that if you're on a team then radios are more helpful. In a team you have to trust that your teammates will preform to their duties. I can personally say that if our commander needs an efficient flanking squad he knows who he can trust to get that flank job done, and done in a timely manner. Without walkies he could never know our exact position, when he should move in to distract or take advantage of an opening. As the field gets more recognizable to other players landmarks could be used as a regrouping area instead of yelling out hoping the other element of the squad can find you.

An example of how a radio could have been effective. Collin lead an attack squad up while my squad flanked. After we eliminated the squad that collin was pushing back I saw a teammate who I knew was on my team and with Collin. If that person had a walkie he would have been able to tell that I was telling him I was on his team and the enemy was further down on my left. Instead i had to wait for Collin to get close enough to him while i had to dodge enemy and friendly fire. great thing his accuracy wasnt great and i was near a tree
