When you are talking to your team on team talk it should at least not show the text you wrote in top of your head or the enemy will Noe :o so yeah I would like that to be fixed to soldat..If Possible :/

I think it should remain there, so you can spy on your enemy, and if you are not careful of when you speak, you will get spied on yourself and reveal your position. So it would be your blessing if you can see the enemy's team messages, but a curse if your enemies have seen your messages. It has been there for many versions to come as a feature rather than a bug.

There is a way to help make your chat (both team and not team) not seen at the top of your head by entering a lot of spaces to the back/front of your message. Or after a message, you can quickly press T or Y and then press enter immediately, so that you'd speak a blank message to overwrite what is over your head, but your teammates still seeing your first message on the console.

I wouldn't mind seeing an option to turn off the words on top of your head though.

I like the fact that you can see teamtalk if you see the enemy on screen. This small feature makes gameplay a bit more interesting (how - STM already described that for me, gj ;P ). In my opinion it's not such a big deal, so it's not worth being removed even if some people dont like it.
Besides, you can use it to your advantage. Say that your flagger is going high, while really he's low. I did that a few times and it worked perfectly.
Also, EnEsCe already mentioned in some other thread that this feature will never be "fixed" or removed.

Haha.
Team chat appearing above the head is there, as others have said, because if you are close to an enemy and they decide to blurt out crap to their team mates, you will hear it. Removing it or "fixing" it will not be done. It adds an extra element to gameplay. There is no valid reason to remove it.

And on that note, locked due to redundancy.
