Check your six
« on: June 13, 2017, 06:35:51 AM »
Please separate the "check six" warning from the other warnings.   I don't mind the occasional "protect your sheep" and "they are attacking" , but the incessant siren is just annoying.

Are you talking about the base attack warning siren or the check 6 voice recording??????

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

I would like to be able to hear "check six" and NOT hear the siren (or "sheep", "alert", etc., though I can live with those).

You should be able to adjust the volume of the air raid siren to make it silent (or just quieter). Check the advanced sounds tab in the settings clipboard.

You can't.  All the warning sounds are tied into one selection now.
