What does this setting do?

Lets squad members write to each other regardless of distance. On most servers this is a given, because otherwise coordination only happens in programs outside the game — and then players without Discord are at a disadvantage.

Switching it off only makes sense on servers that deliberately build on radios and proximity. There, communication itself becomes a resource you have to acquire.

Which value suits my server?

Relaxed PvE

On.

Classic PvP

On.

Hardcore

Off, if radios should become mandatory.

What to watch out for

Disabling it only moves the venue

Groups will simply keep talking on Discord. To genuinely limit communication you need server rules, not just this switch.
