Mumble - EVERYTHING !

[Stealthgato]

Just last night as medic I was running around asking blues for ammo as I had run out of pens. We also spotted a target for a non squad HAT guy which meant he hit the enemy APC and we could move on

If you're seperated from your squad invaluable for giving directions to any form of trans.

The success-rate is much much lower. Typing in in-game chat only works when the receiver actually pays attention to the chat, for example a pilot who awaits coordinates. And even IF you got lucky and the receiver receives the message, do you really want to disrupt all 32 people on your side with your annoying little message?

Mumble just adds to the team-play. That's a fact, 100% objective.

I think Joe puts it best:

I have to co-ordinate myself with the team, a commander if there is one, mumble if that's working and the squad itself. Several rounds stick in my mind where I didn't stop talking for 20 minutes~ straight, constantly relaying information back and forth. Now even if I get the communication done properly I have to make the main tactical and strategic decisions for the squad constantly. To put it simply, doing squadleading properly can be extremely draining for you. Even if I'm just with my squad and the team I often get pretty bogged down in simply trying to exchange information. THIS IS WHY MUMBLE IS A GOOD THING. Typing stuff up only to have no answer for whatever reason seriously saps my time that should be spent leading the squad.

Which applies for everyone really, SL or not. Mumble is so much more streamlined. It saves valuable seconds instead of having to type, seconds which can and do matter, and as Joe pointed out there's no guarantee that the time you put into typing out your request will even pay off. But with mumble, the return rate for your investment so to speak, is much higher. And that is just one of the many good things about mumble.
