Normal human speaking would sound more like 'wanna take on' or 'want ta take on' not the over enunciated steppy "Want... To... Take... On? It's a problem with the current one, only less noticeable, because there's fewer places for it to happen. This can be mitigated, but is difficult to eliminate completely. Default DCS JTAC has the same awkward pauses, for example. I expect that HB will continue tweaking the sound files and the way they're blended together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used contractions, always enunciated every word properly. Extremely precise, measured diction. It happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 That's very good practice on the radio, I'd wager they have talked a lot over staticky links. A laid back Texas accent might sound cool, but if the other party is not hearing you five by five, then it might result in some important bits being lost in the static. I've heard a story of an Army LT, an artillery observer in 'nam, who, on the radio with a Marine unit, heard something like "*static* This is Lieutenant *static* so and so...", and, as the person on the other end of the line wasn't being very reasonable, called him a jarhead and hung up. Only later did he find out he was talking to a Lieutenant Colonel. His boss had his back so he dodged most of the fallout (and lived to tell the tale of how he got away with calling a Marine LTC a jarhead), but when he found out it was a high pucker factor moment, so to speak. I suspect speaking like this could have mitigated this somewhat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that, but Jester is a goofball/comedian half of the time, so it's nice to see him take things seriously when it really counts.
