WWII for the Non-Voice Player

Hello.

Would you recommend this game to someone who uses text chat only?

Are there major portions of the game that are inaccessable to someone who uses text chat only?

    You will do just fine without voice chat, althrough many squads req. the use of it.
    Since many players uses different voice chat servers, and are working toward the same goal.. Lots of info makes its way to the text channel/map. I almost never use TS, since i'm in a squad with fast speaking american, all the while bombs drops beside me, bullets hits mere inches from my head, or my vehicles engine is making lots of noise.. So i don't understand what they're saying anyway.
    And i've done pretty good so far, through text chat only.

    Not using voice chat should be perfectly fine. Most squad will ask that you get on teamspeak but few will require a Mic.

    well to answer your question no voice chat is not needed to enjoy the game but it does increase the realism and fun imo. 

    now my own questions: why can't you use voice chat and why are you posting this question in every bloody game forum on this site?

    You don't like it or you don't have a mic?

    If you don't like it I don't understand.......... :)

    If you don't have a mic still use team speak if only to listen.

    All you need to do is join the germans, we have had no TS for the last 3 days.

    Missed the memo?  Fuze got another one up. :)

    It's not as good though as it doesn't have all the channels the old one did.

    That depends on what you want.

     If you want fast paced arcade action, play bf2

    if you want a war simulator that involves the airforce flying off to destroy enemy factories, movement of troops in a large scale (combined inf, and armour), and the possibility of the navy joining in too - give WWIIOnline a try.

     Thats a simple answer - it would take too long too talk of all the possibilities.

     Check out the feature on my website at the moment ... www.pillbox-games.com

    Too much to answer - too lazy, and sick of repeating myself.

    that sounds awsome, i LOVE LOVE LOVE AMERICAS ARMY!!!! and i hate how bf2 is so damn cheesey, its like you go charging at people and then go prone instantly and jump up 5 feet in the air .. repeat 20 times and can never be hit....


    i like tac games.. where if you try that, i can shoot you while your going down or getting up.. and can sneak around .


    - but about this game...
    like if i blow up a factory in a bombing run, how long does it take to come back, and does it even hurt the bad guys?

    or like are there commaners and squads and such?

    FYI, it takes several bombers to hit a factory to take it down 0% output.  Can't remember the rebuild time but I think it recovers 2%/15minutes.  Don't quote me on this.  It use to be longer.

    It hurts the bad guys by 1) reducing the number of research, development and production (RDP) points generated hourly.  2) it also delays the automatic resupply timer from 4 hours to a maximum of 11 hours (real time).  There are 3 cities for each country that has RDP factories in them.  There are a total of 9 RDP factorys for each country, France, England, and Germany.

    Each side has a high command of volunteer players.  These players are incharge for moving brigades around on the map, adjusting the spawn types/limits for each brigade as per the RDP cycle and most importently they get blamed for when a very important attack/defense objective fails  ;)  The high command also communicates with all the different squads (guilds in other MMORPGs) and organizes masive grouped missions.

    Check this link out, I've recorded all of my organized bombing mission for the current campaign that is still playing.

    Notice the screenshots Slamen posted. When you're going in to attack the factories do you need to keep your altitude to at least 6000 meter to keep clear from the Heavy Flak. At this altitude can't you see any ground units since they are too small, but your client can "see" them why you will kill them if your bombs hit them.

    Defending fighters is still a great danger to bombers at any altitude.

    With the new technology of STO will it be possible to hit target at 10,000 meters. Keeeen!
