No. The utility of a combat suppressor is reduced operator noise level. This allows more effe to be non- electronic/radio communications.

When a dozen or so automatic and semi automatic weapons are firing on close proximity leaders and warriors are effectively disconnected. Hand and arm signals are useful only if seen.

As a mostly deaf former infantryman and dapper, I can attest to the benefit of better verbal nonradio come.

Ecen if all members of a unit are muff and radio equipped it would benefit their tactical capability.

Sub sonic ammo means short range/limited capability. Sonic ammo is not hindered and even helped a bit holistically by suppressor use.
