Do you understand the radio chatter?

[josephine]

I have hard time discerning what the radio transmissions say. In the old IL-2 I had no such problems (and I even learned some russian from that :-) but in BOS everything is so garbled I can't pick up the words.

 

Anyone else with this issue?

Apart from the fact, that the radio chatter in BoS is very limited, I find it to be a more realistic representation of the quality of transmission in WW2 wireless gear.

You dont understand russian/german or you dont understand what they are actually saying? What Fink said,for soviet built radios,you were lucky to get out of it at least smtg distantly resambling human voice

I don't understand what they are actually saying (the sound). (In the old il2 it was easy to hear: Vnimanie, bombarderovschiki, visota, nul, adin, nul.)

I wanted to play without any subtitles, but the volume of the radio is rather low and sunken into the sound of the engine, I simply can not discern individual words.

Is there any sound setting that would increase the radio volume?

I personally can't stand the voices. Is there any way to shut them off?

My German has improved playing all these games

 

Enemy aircraft! = feindlichen Flugzeuge!

 

Bail out = steige aus

 

Tally Ho! = Horrido!

 

Viktor (Verstehen) = Understand

 

There's certainly a lot of aviation jargon though that doesn't translate directly

For example bombers are called "moving vans"

 

The Desastersoft campaigns have a great German - English Luftwaffe jargon dictionary.

Go to ....\IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad\data\Audio\radio\ folder and rename the folders ger and ru, in this way:

 

_ger

_ru

 

 

Or if want turn off only some individual messages go to these folder and do the same (add the _) for the desired ones.

 

But the big "MP3 screen style" background messages bother me more than voices... 

 

The workaround - as sometimes is need know what the AI are talking - is use the "PTR" (Press To Read)    when they talk briefly press the "HUD" on button....

i like the radio call, ok the BoS radio call have to much reiteration like "1 Shoot down 4 calls" but radio calls in ww2 simulations is a big +

in my VeteranenMissions i add more like 100 radio calls for the player commands or only for the ww2 feeling

 

This time i work for my next Missions and it will have many new german radio calls, i hope you like it

In il-2'46 I use to make all Nations talk only plain English, so can turn off subtitles and don't miss the messages.

Funnily enough, I can understand many of Veteran's radio calls, even with my rubbish German (and I've been living in Vienna for 6 years  ).  Kudos, Veteran, your 'actors'! 

 

Hopefully, as the series progresses more and more details, like a greater variety of voices, will be added.

A really good default radio system is crucial for singleplayer immersion. It is every bit as important as comms are to MP players.

 

CloD messed that up with only one robotic voice for everything. BoS is only slightly better at the moment, with some terrible scripting of in flight chatter. "Hello, attacking fighter, it's close!" Repeated over and over and over and overandoveandover...

World War Two Radio Chatter- Lancaster Crew 

 

Sounds like a mix of Brits and Aussies.

Is that authentic? That's an awesome bit of audio!

 

It always amazes me when I hear/watch war recordings of people in combat, who are in mortal danger yet appear completely calm and collected, even cheerful.

It is, it was recorded by the BBC British journalist Wynford Vaughan-Thomas who flew with the crew of a Lancaster  on a raid. The raid was recorded and the recording still exists in BBC archives.
