Reflected Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Folks, does anyone feel up to the challenge of making an American sound mod to replace Russian chatter? With the P-40 coming I'd love to fly red, but hearing "Vymanye!" will be quite an immersion breaker
Emil_Junus Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 With the P-40 coming I'd love to fly red, but hearing "Vymanye!" will be quite an immersion breaker Actually the russian pilots used the P-40.
Rjel Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Wasn't there an English-German mod for the original IL-2 back in the day? The purists will hate me but I'd like an English mod pack even with bad accents included. 1

With the P-40 coming I'd love to fly red, but hearing "Vymanye!" will be quite an immersion breaker Why? There weren't any Americans flying them at Stalingrad. 1
Willy__ Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I see no problem in asking for an american sound mod, problem is finding someone willing to do it. Personally I wouldnt use it. 1

With the P-40 coming I'd love to fly red, but hearing "Vymanye!" will be quite an immersion breaker Personally, I'd find it more immersion-breaking to hear Americans flying VVS aircraft over Moscow. 2
71st_AH_Hooves Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I could help. But honestly to keep immersion a heavy Russian accent but English language should most likely be used. Then at least I'd know what they were saying but I'd feel like I was still in the eastern front. And I don't have risky accent skills. Just good Ole Murican. 1
Rjel Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Why? There weren't any Americans flying them at Stalingrad. I'd suppose it would be for the same reason they use english in movies when portraying foreign dialects for those of us who might not speak every language under the sun. It makes it easier to understand what's going on. I think the op's request was pretty obvious, don't you?
Willy__ Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I think what Hooves said would be the best approach on this.

I personally wouldn't use it but I'm all for any mod, so bring it on the more miss the better. I really just don't understand what it would do that subtitles don't.
migmadmarine Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Well, I for one, and know many who agree, would prefer the proper languages and subtitles...
Reflected Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 You guys are misunderstanding me. For VVS missions I don't want US chatter either. It's just that this way, P-40s could be flown in US scenarios (OK, we don't have the map). 1

Then it would be curtains for moose and squirrel! Edited July 28, 2015 by CFC_Conky 1
Finkeren Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 There should be loads of material to work from. Can't see the harm in making one - though as others remarked, I won't use it myself.
Y-29.Silky Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Shit with any summer map and an American skin, you could easily simulate the air battles over Italy. Wouldn't mind that at all... Is there going to be Italian chatter in the 202's? Edited July 28, 2015 by Y-29.Silky

Is there going to be Italian chatter in the 202's? True dat. Hell, if people can get a kick out of battling 1945 German fighters in 1944 Mustangs over 2008 Georgia in DCS... 1
Rjel Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 People constantly stress immersion and situational awareness, for me personally, being able to understand the radio chatter fits right in with that. While I've picked up a smattering of German and Russian from years of playing IL-2, I really have little desire to learn either language. The same goes for subtitles. I can do it fine watching a film, not so much when tracking a bandit. 1
Sokol1 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 "Immersion" wise I think is better a understandable radio chatter in English that one in national languages that sometimes sound ridiculous (Oh Niiiet... Iarainig, Iarainig, Iarainig... faitaitai, faitaitai, faitaitai...) and big subtitles windows jumping on screen (in the last interaction these windows come in extra size...).
Feathered_IV Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 There aren't too many good existing voice samples of US speakers out there at the moment. Most of them are either too over the top like in the Janes series, too yee-haw like in CFS or too Richie Cunningham as in 1946. I've been collecting voice samples for years from as many sources as I can and find that the American ones (ones that do not irritate) are the among the hardest to get. A fellow who went by the name of barbeque did the Russian accented English samples for the original Il-2 many years ago. I think these are still available at M4T. As I recall they are Russian accented English with trace of American. I think he does a German one too. Although it is very "Vee haff vays..." Anyone who has a mind to do the conversion can download the .wav files from il-2, use an online converter to change them to .ogg files in mono with the lowest available bitrate and use them to replace the four grindingly repetitive phrases that our current AI repeat over and over again.
Ace_Pilto Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Loled at "Richie Cunningham" "Fonzie! You can't attack those Me-262s in your Gladiator!" "I know Richie but I gotta try"

Feathered_IV Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Before this goes to page two, I'd suggest that anybody with the will to help in future voice addons in any language; Simply fly online with your friends, use a private teamspeak channel and observe some kind of brevity code (looking at you ACG). You'll probably find it fun and immersive. Record just the audio, or video too if you like and put it online like many already do. Someone like me might well come along and turn the samples into a new chatter mod.
Jupp Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 ~S~ Everyone, Time to get to work on my Mr. T soundboard. Blue Skies, !S -Jupp- 1
avlSteve Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I would like to just be able to single out and adjust the volume of the comm radio. It's way too loud to suit me. 1
No601_Swallow Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 ~S~ Everyone, Time to get to work on my Mr. T soundboard. Ha! Great picture and caption!

Obviously it has player names being spoken but there is also lots of great lines like "Oh man he's got me running like a schoolgirl" and "Damn that flak is heavy", etc, etc. I think there is about 6-hours of it somewhere on my hard drive (quite a bit unedited). If you fancy having the files and working through them I am sure there's lots of stuff in there that you'd find useful. As an example of of the typical audio captured, if you watch my video "Not my time to die", two parts spring to mind. One is the section where the B-17's approach the target and the flak opens up, the second is when the P-47's first engage in combat and the radio network goes wild. I spoke with a couple of veterans about it and they both said it was as realistic as they experienced in their own combat. Send me a PM if you would like them to help with a community mod? Cheers, MP
