Which chat to use?

[BlueGgz 1]

should i use group / vehicle channel or direct communication ( within 10~100 meters )

[danredda 10]

Direct to talk to players around (<80m)

Vehicle when in a vehicle

Group does nothing (as far as I'm aware)

Vehicle channel will work with anyone who is in a vehicle with you, group channel i'm not 100% on but i think it works when you're in the player screen and when waiting for character - maybe also when you're dead, direct com is the one you want if you're looking to speak to people in proximity to you.

Direct works for everyone within range

so in lots of youtube videos I see people using group channel. Are they just doing it wrong, or does that work too?
