How players are using their TACCOM
Most flight sims and mil sims are supported. These are some of our favs.
Squadron operations
Easily coordinate with known and unknown players on the same frequency. Monitor multiple frequencies concurrently and at different volumes.
Fleet operations
Communicate with individual groups, or broadcast to the entire fleet if you're the commander.
ATC operations
Run a tower frequency. Clear launches and landings, sequence inbound traffic, and report traffic.
Mining operations
Monitor for sector activity from scouts, coordinate miners, haulers, and escorts on different channels while maintaining situational awareness.
Refueling operations
Stuck in space? Request refueling support from other radio operators, not specifically in your org.
AWACS operations
Work the radar picture for everyone in the air. Monitor every flight on its own frequency and pass contacts to the ones who need them.
How does this compare to Discord?
The TACCOM maintains organized voice comms, akin to the structured communication disciplines used by HAM Radio operators.
| TACCOM | Discord |
|---|---|
| Communication | |
| Designed for large scale events and multi-crew scenarios. | One voice room, everyone talking at once. Requires voice discipline and training. |
| Setup | |
| Quick and easy. Tune to a channel. Press a button to talk. No need to worry about crosstalk. | Requires training and adherence to your tean's voice chat operating procedures to eliminate crosstalk. |
| Privacy | |
| Very private setup. You own your data. | You'll always be in their database. |
| Human-Factor | |
| Connects players who share a reference in game such as a place, a point of interest, or even a server. | Not designed for player discovery. |
| Community | |
| A family-friendly community. Every TACCOM owner is a flight sim enthusiast, or at the very least, related to one. | A free service designed to accomodate non-games. Collects and trades your personal data. |
