Party system to use pins on map.

[McILRoy]

Pins and wheel commands would be great, to have a fast and exact communication besides a microphone and also to break language barriers between players.

the problem with shareable pins on map and something like wheel command on chat its having too many of them at the same time , so the solutions it’s simple limit that number of players that share this information with each other, creating a simple party system that players belonging to a party would be able to share this kind of info .

 

I’m not saying this would be better than a proper microphone communication but would be more aprochable for new players, and it would be faster to tell for example your exact location while pushing a key u automatically set a pin on map exactly where you are and party members would be able to see you in the map instantly, or by clicking the map to tell party member where there’s been an enemy spotted by you.

 

Another cool idea for party system would be to have the members names at the side of the screen and each one with corresponding color green(alive)  , yellow (injured), red (dead) .

Well it's not a terrible idea but I'll be the guy to say this isn't war thunder. It's supposed to be a sim. Pilots didn't have that level of information when in flight. The "radio" comms we have now already greatly exceed the realistic capabilities of the day.

I think it would be awesome to have an optional squad functionality like in Battlefield or other games, and the flight leader would be able to give clear instructions in game, without 3rd party tools.

 

That would facilitate individuals working together without joining a virtual squadron etc. And give lone wolves a chance to join others.

Thank you for being "that guy".  Flight simmers need to constantly fight against the constant drone of video gamers to dumb down flight simulations.

Mm there’s GPS on wings of L I don’t see why wouldn’t make life a bit easier with the party idea for that server I know that for example with TAW this wouldn’t work and I don’t spect it to work there on contrary I would make that improvement in wings of L so when people jump to a real sim server like TAW people get a better idea of what they need to do and it’s to comunícate as they did with party system but without that feature and understand that’s more realistic.

I must agree with pfrances and SeaSerpent on this one.

It isn't that unrealistic though. Sure it may not be exactly realistic but the map part is solid, I think. Pilots flew with maps and they would have notes and mission plans provided to them from higher before they went out. I don't see the issue with having a system where a plan can be drawn up and shared out with others.

Those who say "this is unrealistic but not as bad as modern radio communication like Discord" just leave themselves open to being knocked over by big groups. My guys put 15 people up together every night on KOTA and just delete objectives through mass-coordination and there doesn't seem to be anything anyone has been able to do to stop it ?
