Trouble with radio coms in Georgian Hammer Campaign

[JazonXD]

Hi everyone, I'm playing the Georgian Hammer campaign without CA and I have trouble raising my wingman and JTAC and anything else. Makes it kinda frustrating since I can't tell my wingman to help me with the ground targets, he just follows me around and I can't ask JTAC for targeting help. Is there a way to fix this? I am using simple radio so I know that the frequencies are automatically the right ones when transmit.

Hi Jason, do you have the "easy communication" option checked under gameplay options?

 

If so, this has been known to be buggy from time to time and I wouldn't necessarily recommend using it.

 

If not, the issue is very likely that you are not speaking on the correct radio.

 

The A-10C has three separate push-to-talk keys, one for each radio. Mic switch FWD will speak on the VHF AM radio (typically ATC/command/etc.), mic switch DOWN will speak on the UHF AM radio (typically flight comms), and mic switch AFT (towards your body) will speak on the FM radio (typically used for JTAC.)

 

Press the mic switch in the proper direction and you'll see the comm menu pop up with VHF AM, UHF AM, or FM in the top right indicating which radio you're speaking on.

 

Check your briefing for freqs for ground forces, you may need to tune the radios.

Okay I'll try that. Thing is that I've always had "easy communications" on because I don't have a hotas so I don't have the luxury of extra switches to use as the mic switches so I relay on the backslash key and the radio menu and then the easy communication will tune the frequency to the one I need. I guess I'll try turning it off and actually using proper radio stuff then.
