Do you use Display Radio Subtitles ?
-
No distractions here.
-
Don’t use them, immersion killer like labels.

But very useful when your wingman tells you you have a heatseaker headed your way, and there is such a backlog of soundbites to be played you don’t get to hear the call until it’s too late.
-
Perhaps, but I just don’t like them just like I hate the very useful labels or beeping boards. Its all a compromise and the compromises are personal choices I guess.
-
In real life, US pilots are perfect english speaker tho.
To me, some words can sound similar and that’s why I fly with subtitles enabled, they don’t distract me, I guess it depends on peoples
Hahahha…… you sir are an optimist!

Yes, I use it because speech is much slower than in RL and you cannot control as way what you hear exactly as in RL excep in full MP games.
-
I don’t like using them myself (immersion killer) but i especially hate it when guys i’m flying with are using them and they stomp all over the AWACS comms after a request because they’ve seen the answer before i’ve heard it. Shut up already!!
-
I don’t. I use channel 6 on uniform to get away from all the chatter. And I don’t fly with AI wing men while in SP (they are worthless for the most part). Just have to listen up. Real radios are a lot more clobbered than they ever are in BMS.

Real radios also have a lot more effective ‘bandwidth’ than in BMS too, due to the slow operators who keep stepping on one another. The Red Flag radio chatter Ive listened too has been pretty hectic, but even that has been less ‘clobbered’ than the BMS UHF 13, so I dispute that assertion, too.

Well, I guys you’ve never heard a controller tell everyone to shut up so they can concentrate and only speak when spoken to. Haha. You’re entitled to believe what you want. But the radio traffic isn’t perfect in real life

I tend to take the word of people actually doing it such as Bellc09 over a spotter’s recording small parts of Red Flag, but to each their own.

Mebbe once Shadow gets off the T-45s and starts actually doing it, Ill take his word over a 6 hour recording of lots of other folks actually doing it

What am I to get off ? Are you taking the Shadow’s name in vain?
So you actually listened to 6 hours of recorded radio chat. Impressive.

Says the one not actually doing it… [emoji41]

Off, as I find the response unrealistically fast and the scrolling text ruins video footage.
Like others have said I throw them in the same bucket as labels.
During times of high activity, mil radio freqs can be extremely busy. This is why a lot is done via SOP/hand signals.

Off, I can live with the delays. I don’t use a pilot voice either, so that compensates a little bit. Also, in 4.33 I hardly ever listen to UHF13 as it is too cluttered with the new AWACS calls, until later on in the campaign.
-
Thanks for these answers all.
At that point, Radio subtitles is on for 9 of us (3 of them only in SP), off for 9 (immersion killer).I was used to turn this option ON. I think it is a little exagerate to compare this option with labels.
But I admit that subtitles are really more comfortable as it is a reminder on the screen during 10s and so you can manage priorities with your choice, don’t listen to the call and just read it a few second later …
Not very realistic for sure.maybe more points of view ?:rolleyes:
