Yes, I heard about that, too. You have to cover a specific ear – don’t know anymore if it was the right or the left.

The thing is, that you normally cannot hear your own voice like it sounds to others, because the source of it lies very close in between your ears and the vibration of your vocal cords distorts your perception – if I remember correctly, usually ones voice will always sound a bit deeper and more powerful to oneself than it actually is.

When you are playing, do you really want a radio stream eating up your bandwidth in the background?

I always play while streaming the radio, doesn’t affect my ping or FPS in the slightest.

And why would you want to sound like jingles? His voice is boring tbh.

Will WG radio range longer than 750 m?

Mic doesn’t change their voices, but every person hears his voice different than people around him. I’ve watched some documentary about it. To hear your voice like others do you need to block your ears with some cover or something. It was pretty interesting. So when you are listening to yourself after recording it you basically hear yourself like others hear you.

Most radio streams have a bitrate of 128 kbit/s.
WoT itself uses 64 to 96 kbit/s (Excluding built-in Vivox of course).

If you don’t use team voice chat software such as TeamSpeak, you’re even on a weak 384 kbit/s line good to go bandwidth wise. (Who would listen to radio anyway while in TeamSpeak?)

Good morning comrades, you are live with your very own SerB. After listening to the glorious anthem of the Soviet Union, we’ll discuss today’s headlines:
-WG’s project of balancing the game is going as planned. German tanks will continue to be nerfed and of course we’re gonna balance it with some buffs to the poor underpowered Soviet tanks such as KV-1S;
-WG’s battle against high FPS is going well, our post-9.0 micropatches are doing an even better job than 9.0 itself at dropping the FPS;
-Our proud EU studio continues the world record streak of daily fails, uninterrupted for over an year;
And now DJ Storm will play some proud Soviet opera for you.

Just a waste of money IMO. It doesn’t promote or improve their product.
Do they intend to make money through advertisements? Do they think this will keep players hooked on the game? Are they just giving people jobs?

If there’s anything WG should be doing, it should be developing and marketing their games. They won’t keep their lead if they keep getting side-tracked with stunts like this.

Sounds like a prelude to the Ministry of Truth…
