Initial call to CV marking mom's radial in true rather than magnetic

I didn't find if this is already reported, but the initial call to the ship is using the true radial from mother rather than the magnetic radial. See attached picture.

Hi everyone,

just giving this issue a nudge.. it should be a quick fix just adding the variation to the bearing from..

Thanks,

A LOT of DCS comms are incorrectly given in ° true, instead of ° magnetic. ATC bearings, AWACS bullseye & BRAA calls, as well as Carrier comms. Unfortunately it’s probably a bigger issue than it initially appears, and hence more time consuming to fix.

It's probably a holdover from LOMAC and earlier days, since the Russians use true instead of magnetic for most things (magnetic variation can be large in northern Siberia). NATO should use magnetic. I don't think it'll be particularly difficult to fix unless the whole comm system is some sort of a Rube Goldberg contraption, which it might be.
