Com menu rework

[303_Tees]

I think that could be easy and quick fix. Can we get ATC/JTAC/TANKER/ ect in order so on the first place (F1)  we have unit/airfield we are tuned to, for example if in F18 im tuned on radio 1 to Annapa if i press com1 in ATC list Annapa is on F1 same if we have multiple tankers/jtac , that would help with Voiceattack. Now if u to far away from airfield or carrier its impossible to contact.

if possible ED should just get rid of the need to choose the recipient. your dialed-in frequency already selected the recipient. i think the current menu structure is a relict from the flanker/flaming cliffs days, where tuning radios was not available.

There could be multiple aircraft on a channel. That doesn't matter to the radio, but announcing who you're talking to can matter. Also, beyond selecting the recipient, you may need to choose dialogue options anyway.

Dang! You're right.

Honestly i feel that ED should just scrap the current system and make a new one from ground up with better UX and the possibility to use voice recognition functionality.

starting over is not always the best solution to an issue, for one it requires resources that may have been employed on a more useful way, and on the other a completely new system may break previous missions and campaigns.

ED is reworking the entire COMM menu system: they want to move away from having to use the function keyboard keys. They have indicated to be going for something akin to the jester menu, or the george menu.

They are doing exactly that.
