I would pay real money, a lot of real money, to have the ability to gesture "fight, you coward!!" to my team mates.

back on topic, yes, command wheel is a feature that the devs eventually want. Paul has mentioned it before

I personally don't like the idea of a command wheel. I'd rather see the battle grid command UI improved a bit so it can be used more quickly (including a Company command, instead of having to make markers for each lance)

... and possibly add the ability for anybody on the team to place an offensive or retrocessive ping or temporary marker kinda like how League of Legends has.

(however the roleplayer in me would find this to be immersion-breaking, since real pilots would communicate with sectors, grid locs, plans, and specific target data... which I can already do just fine in chat being a fast typist)

I would prefer the occassional pilot gesture...

Someone runs into you, the pilot give him the finger.

You get rocked by missles, his hands go up in front of him and he screems like a little girl

...is the title misleading?

I consider this type of command wheel a basic requirement for any online multiplayer FPS, especially one without integrated VOIP. Get it done already, we've been waiting close to 3 years.

would it help with players beeing the main reason why this game is not so much fun anymore?

it mainly feels like this:

hear no teammate
see no teammate
dont wanna play with teammate.


you can tell them what you want, they wont do it. they would get hurt and EVENTUALLY get a bad score.
rather sit behind everything and snipe the guys that have to eat the dirt by beeing slower than them.

no command wheel will help us with terrible player mentality.

Edit: knowing that from over 20000 world of tanks games and asking the readers here that played WoT:

how many times did you ask for help and someone actually came by?

how many times did you mark your target as arty to see it dead by another arty while your own shot is on
the way at over 30 secs reload?

I think this sort of thing would a great option but instead of having it pop up and block the view, lets put it in on one of the unused monitors in the cockpit either as a 'touch screen' style of menu or the ol' numeric 1, 2, 3, 4.
Would be great for general comms for those not using VOIP, but also a great tool for lance commanders.
A nice little indicator can be added over the enemy and friendly mechs and an automatic line in the team or lance chat.... great stuff.

Team commanders I believe should be quite different to what we have now and should be more of a high level strategic role.

Something like this would be infinitely helpful.
