This topic brings up something I've always wondered about, given that this is something of a WWII, military-oriented, air combat simulation.
That is the lack of use of military Brevity Codes or the teaching/training of pilots in a radio call format. With the very limited comm bandwidth we have while in combat here, it's surprising to me that more squads (or really any for that matter) haven't implimented more military like radio call procedure and use at least a small subset of standard Brevity Codes. I do hear 'Roger' and 'Copy', 'RTB' and 'Bingo', but not much beyond that. And I'm guessing 'Con' is maybe a game term that caught on instead of what I believe are the correct designations of 'Bogey' for unidentified aircraft, and 'Bandit' once a bogey is determined to be hostile.
I've always thought that if squads would adopt even a modest list of codes, and would teach a standardized radio call format, it would eliminate a lot of useless chatter and make squad operations much more efficent. And certainly be more military-like and historically immersive as well. Might training some of the squeakers not to yak so much early on.
Anyway, with all the history and military buffs, and ex-military types who play this game, I'm wonder why this isn't generally done.
