When one has no radio device, remote communication should be disabled

[msy 22]

In real life, If you and your mates all have no radio divices, you could only contact each other by voice or some specific signals if you are close or they can see your signal.

Now in the game, if you and your AI teammates have no radios, or some of you have no radios, you can still contact others by voice or action gesture.

However, the not good thing is that, if you as a commander are no radios and you are separated by hundreds of meters with your subordinates, you can still order them to do anything by voice! Or if you are a subordinate of AI leader, you can't hear what he says only tens of meters away.

I think the solution is let communication have distance limit.

Well, I'm sure this can all be done with scripts, but for the core game I don't see it as a issue. How many players would be pissed when AI (or themselves) get lost because they got separated and lost radio contact? Also, most radios, even the ones you can buy at RadioShack, have distances of well over a few hundred meters.

I see this more as a "mission specific" option that mission/mod makers can implement if a mission requires.

Because of I44 MOD, I notice this communication issue.

well, that's not the problem when you are playing US, CDF or Russians...

but it's a problem if you are playing Resis or Taki militia. It doesn't make sense that every militia member has a radio device...
