How voice chat channels work?

[syfoor 5]

Sup guise,

A wierd and likely dumb question poped in my brain just now. There were few encounters with players that im a bit troubled about. I'm more of a cautious lone wolf - got rules on engagement, dont KoS unless 100% sure that the person is a threat. Problem is there were two times in my early days when me and some player were in close proximity, he and i were aware of each other presence, but i killed them because they didn't interact with me over direct chat, nor voice neither writen messages. Is it possible that they were SCREAMING: "FRIENDLY FRIENDLY OHH MY GOD DONT SHOOT ME, ILL GIVE YOU HELICOPTER, RANGEFINDERS, AS50 TWS ETC. JUST LET ME LIVE!!!!", but i didn't hear them because i was not in direct communication channel?

No, If they were within your direct chat range you would have heard them no matter what channel you were in

yeah everyone within a radius of 200m can hear you in DC, thats why I try to initiate contact via text in DC if I can first, don't wanna give away your position too handily
