Summary

Squad Based Communications enforces realistic military radio discipline by restricting faction-wide communications to squad leaders only, creating a tactical chain of command. Updated for v1.6

Official Workshop description

🔒 Key rules: - Only squad leaders can access the platoon (global) radio. - Non-leader players attempting to transmit over platoon radio will receive a notification and clear feedback. - Squad radio and proximity chat remain fully functional. - Different colors represent who's talking: Faction radio (blue), Squad radio (green) or your Squad Lead (light green) - Squad Leader clearly differentiated in the UI - Non-leader players radios are SINGLE CHANNEL, starting with the squad's frequency by default. 🎯 Goal: enforce a clear chain of command and eliminate unnecessary radio clutter, avoid players being "lone wolfs". Enhance ArmA's coop nature. Compatibility: Fully compatible with popular mods including WCS, RHS and ACE. The mod only affects radio transmission permissions without altering core game mechanics, so it should be compatible with most mods out there, even with addon radios. Based on "Squad" communication system.
