Why waste the time if I don't need to?



I can have "/team need BBs south" typed and sent in less than two seconds. Don't project your lack of typing speed onto me :P



It's not about keeping your setup secret, it's about avoiding drawing their attention to your team's weaknesses. If they're on top of things enough to see a weakness and exploit it, good for them. If not, I don't plan to help them out.

Simply pointing out the time is available and that it is your choice to not use it.

I don't either, I'm always tabbed off in waiting room, unless an interesting discussion is occuring on squad chat or in the room I'm in.




Actually, its more like:

2 seconds to come back to the game from your alt-tab.

1 second to see where you are.

1 second to choose where you are going to go

2 second to check around where other peoples are placed.

3 seconds checking out the other team's setup to know if you can face it with what you got

and then your 2 seconds of typing!!!


2+1+1+2+3+2=11.

You barely have time to post! skive off the 2 sec of tabbing back in, and you actually got it out 1 sec before game start :)



If there is someone on the other team that is dumb enough not to see a team is lacking a BB south, or a CV, you honestly write the thing on a 20x20 feet advertisement panel, then procede to beat them over the head with it, and they STILL wouldnt notice.


Also: If a good player is on the other team, chance are your BBs avoided him.

If your BBs avoided him, chances are most are complete morons at using their ships.

If most of your BBs are morons, you lost the game.




For the rest however the feature is there somewhere already, as shown by HA, where it is tactically interesting to hide who is in a room or not, due to part of the strategy reposing on bluff. I actually had people that were considered mainstream players of the fleet go to a room and "accidently" say something on all chat in it to confuse the opponnent. Works like a charm.

I suppose it wouldnt be hard to implement, but I do not see the use of it really.

Spam/Macro is another matter tough, that has to be treated separately from this suggestion. It did get massively out of hand lately, team chat or not team chat.

Rehor lately did a GD topic on it.

SDE launched an heavy advertisement campaign in kindergardens in the past few months or something?
