Dedicated Voice Comms ?

Teamspeak, SRS, Discord, and I am sure others are available but this leaves multi player in a somewhat confused state as far as voice communications is concerned. Any possibility of a dedicated system baked in to IL2 that everyone would have access to? Just a thought.

This has been asked several times and the answer is SRS. The devs don't have the time or resources to build their own system in and even then it may not make much difference. DCS has its own radio system baked in now and while it still lacks a few features, everyone uses SRS anyways.

 

The community is still learning to use SRS but its slowly gaining in adoption rates. Make use of it and encourage others to has been my approach.

The devs specially added support for SRS and I worked with them to build a special version of SRS for IL2. That's not to say there won't be a replacement but definitely worth installing and setting up

 

Follow the instructions here https://github.com/ciribob/IL2-SimpleRadioStandalone/releases/latest

 

That link also has a link to the SRS Discord. Just ask if you have trouble.

 

I highly recommend trying the Combat Box server, they have extra Integrations with SRS so you can hear AI call outs too.

More pilots need to make use of SRS. It's very easy to install, set up and is a real asset to the game
