@Pargy - Obviously I didn't see any comms, but anyway I'm off the opinion that voice is essential for effective wing-work which was why I was sitting on TS.
There are voice comms inside a wing so I am using this.
The ingame voice com's are an abomination. It lacks settings so whether it works for you is a crapshoot between what voice settings FD has predetermined for you and what setup you actually have.
And the toggle\mute PTT settings seems to randomly switch around, and it's notoriously bad at handling network lag (which the game induces during handshakes) so one or two of your wing members will constantly be transmitting the static noises the game layers on top of com's to make it sound LESS CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE..
As with all com's one guy will be on a super sensitive mike and 24DB louder than everyone else, and another on a table mic and 24db lower than everybody else.
When this happen's with regular voice com in game you are fucked, one will constantly shriek your ears off, and the other won't be heard over the static the LAYERS on top...
With TS you at least get noise free, and you can adjust the volume of individual speakers something I find absolutely crucial for getting things to actually work good enough.
Seriously I never thought I would miss the in game voice com's in eve-online but this makes me think fondly of it..
