Battlefield Vietnam Multiplayer offers two distinct methods of issuing radio commands. These include the new Quick Interface and the Expanded Interface similar to that used by Battlefield 1942.
The option to change your settings is located under the Profiles Header of the games main menu; simply select or deselect Expanded Radio Commands in order to switch back and forth. Unfortunately, the game must be restarted before the change will take effect.
The quick interface allows players to press the same F Key in sequence to issue radio commands. Pressing an F Key in this mode issues a different command based upon the number of times you hit that key. The following is a list of the provided radio commands and their default key assignment.
Quick Radio Command Interface:
F1 Once Roger!
--- Twice Negative!
F2 Once - Req. Reinforcements
--- Twice Req. Pickup

F3 Once Req. Target
--- Twice Enemy Spotted?
F4 Once Follow Me!
--- Twice Cover Me!
F5 Once Cease Fire!

F6 Once Go!
