I haven't been able to find where player text chat can be globally disabled by the server/host. I see where in IL2SC you can remove or reduce the chat messages the server itself puts out.
I do not think Player chat is able to be disabled by the server/host it can only be "turned" off on the client side by not using it and/or rolling up the chat bar.
I'd be great to be able to mute the masses in these kind of events..
If anyone knows pls drop me a line here or at
