Russian AWACS/GCI

[Sizzle]

I can't seem to get Vaicom to select the correct AWACS when playing on the Russian side of the Cold War multiplayer server. All of the AWACS are all on the same channel but their names are either "21" of "15", unlike the English version witch are "Magic", "Overlord", or "Wizard".

 

So, when I say "Two One", I get a mess that says unrecognized "21" as a recipient. Simply saying "Bogey Dope" will always default to one of the AWACS and I can't figure out how to select the other ones. I can go through the "AWACS,...Options" menu and pick it out, but this requires three commands and I have to scan for the correct item number out of the menu.

 

What am I missing?

I'm having this issue too, have you found a solution?

Sounds similar to the problems others have reported with tankers. VAICOM gets confused about units whose callsigns can change from mission to mission. You might try the AWACS, Options approach to give an initial command, and then see if it stays selected when you give later "bogey dope" commands.
