TraxusIV Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Ok, so when I was a radio operator in the army, we had very specifically prescribed words and phrases that we used for communicating. From the standard pronunciation of 9 as "niner" to using "affirmative" instead of "yes", "negative" instead of "no" and "say again" instead of "I'm sorry old chap, I missed that, could you please repeat?". In watching youtube tutorials and general gameplay videos, I've noticed that DCS fliers tend to obey radio conventions as well, such as saying "splash" when a bomb hits, "rifle" when firing a missile, etc. The question is, where can I find a reference for this? A glossary, or air force standard, or whatever? Does a compiled slang reference even exist? Thanks, Trax If you disapprove of this post, please feel free to give me negative rep.
