MiG21bisFishbedL Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 What's in the pipe for the Hind since it was mentioned? R-60 employment, tweaks, QoL improvements, or all 3? 1 Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_Mastiff Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Since there was Female helicopter pilots, are we going to see any in this sim? at least for the Apache? also the up and coming Kiowa? I only ask this, because during my 9 years in The US. Army, and while at Ft. Hood, we had Kiowa and Apache female pilots 1 or 2 but we had them.

Dragon1-1 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Given that it's apparently Wags doing George's voice (and presumably a Russian SME doing Petrovich), I wouldn't expect it. TBH, I don't know if ED ever had actual actors do the voices, possibly Russian ATC messages in Caucasus, since there's actually pretty good variety there, including at least two female voices. I don't know what's the plan now, but in older ED content the Russian voiceovers are invariably vastly superior to English ones. That said, the recent English dialogue sounds OK, even if it is limited in terms of available voices. Honestly, we need more voices overall. It's not even that we're talking to guys all the time, it's that we're always talking to the same guy. It'd be nice to have any sort of variety.

Devil 505 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 There are 3 actors we need for AI. Michael Iron Side for Jester, William Dafoe for HeatBlurs A-6, and Nicholas Cage or Tommy Lee Jones for the George AI. We could add Sean Young for the Kiowa when it comes out to have a female pilot. She flew the Kiowa in Fire Birds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true and you forgot SC comms with different actors at different roles.

Dragon1-1 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 SC is new, and hopefully the sign of what's to come. It is a bit too little IMO, there's only a single pilot's voice, one marshall and one LSO, but it's a start. The older content has maybe three or four people covering all the English voices in the sim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk1971 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 SC has "CATCC Sue" (seen in the PBS docu-series Carrier) as the voice actor for Marshall, and "Jello" as LSO . The voice of "George" is actually provided by Casmo, not Wags. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out a flight with a full complement of AI wingmen, we have a female voiced flight included already. thanks 3 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
