Title: Wingman voice support
Post by: Randy1 on March 17, 2018, 08:04:32 AM

In Iracing they have computer program Spotter support from the game.  It says things like, " Hold your line car inside." and "Two laps to go."

It would be neat to have in AH a program generated wing-man support voice.  It would say things like, "Red closing on your six." or "you have selected rockets." or "Check your fuel,  Looks like we have just enough to get home." or reminders like, "Watch your speed on this dive."  Lots of interesting voice support things could be used.  Could add a new, fresh dimension to AH.

"Recalculating.."

For bombers it would be cool to hear something like "Top gunner.  Bogie 12 o'clock high.  In a tank. "HE loaded."  "Tactical reports suggest red vehicles in this zone."  Even more bold, "I hear tracks.  Sounds like a heavy tank."

Definite -1 for these. I don`t mind visual aids like icons we have, looking around is part of the gameplay IMHO.

I'd like a wingman vox channel that would be tune-able without over riding the squad channel.

how about air traffic control chatter?

Tailored per user.. run native.  Basically they would chatter like the NPCs you encounter in other games.

"Welcome to A29.. hey, aren't you the guy that just nailed that LA-7?  Nice piece of work sir! "

"I used to be a fighter pilot.. until somebody stole my sweetroll"

"You have clearance, clarence...ha ha.. I just love saying that"

Like icons, this feature could be turned off.
