From Hell Let Loose, a WW2 game that’s more towards simulation than Call of Duty or Battlefield: 1942, I learned the importance of voice communication to coordinate actions. It also helps that I’m much less shy now about talking to strangers. I play as the squad lead and spotter in a tank-crew trio and have to be clear and concise with my words, both into the command channel and to my crew. I am more practiced at giving direct orders rather than dithering or asking what the driver and gunner think we might do (I do like to ask them when we have time to plan, though, especially as the US when trying to flank Tigers). From videogame Spec-Ops: The Line I learned that we (the US military) used white phosphorous during our assault on the people of Iraq[0]. I may have already known, but the game made it personal.
