I meet this even in the highest tier games and especially on the EU servers. Anyone who has played more than their cadet bonus games must have noticed that communication is OP in MWO: identifying targets, calling grid references even down to timing a push, turn or fallback; all these are easily done in a game with both type and voice chat and communicating any of those to the rest of your team makes a world of difference.
OK, I accept fully that most EU players don't have English as their first language, however, the vast majority have probably been playing PC/console games for some time and must surely be able, at the very least, to give a grid reference? Even if they have no mic, or are unwilling/unable for whatever reason to speak on in-game voice-chat, "D5" is the same in most EU languages other than those using the cyrillic alphabet and even with those I am certain they can adapt.
Also, I am sure a lot of English speakers would soon learn to count from 1-10 in the major EU languages if people used them!
TL/DR - Talk to each other mechwarriors, communication and team work are OP
Peace
