Do you use Display Radio Subtitles ?
-
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

Opps……:)

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:

I use them due to my tone deafness. Some sounds tend to muffle others for me. In RL I would have trouble passing a pilots physical due to the limitations of my hearing. I couldn’t even get in the military back in 1990 because of my hearing. I use them to watch TV also…shrug.
As an added bonus, I get to kill Harlequins’ immersion at times! :wfish:

plus I think Harley uses the “own pilot voice” and that might delay the response more

I don’t use them anymore. They are great for learning and training the ear, especially in less dense environments where UHF 13 is ‘immersively cluttered’. Remember the B-course graduation training mission in 4.32? It was perfect in this respect - a must-fly for any newbie pilot I think. Shame that it’s not included in 4.33.
Anyway, now I consider them as immersion killers as well. And they’re ruining the screenshots …
-
I don’t use them either because I dont’ like to have the text on the screen. After some time, you get used to having always the same messages over the radio so it’s fine, unlike real life. Radio chatter can be extermely annoying and it seems some people really enjoy talking over the radio. Add to this that the speakers are not always native English speakers and you can have some pretty messy situations, even (or especially) during real warfare.
-
I use them and they don’t bother me. I guess this is mainly because I use three monitors to display BMS and the subtitles are on the extreme left (left side of my left monitor) so they are mostly “out of sight” but I can still turn my head and see/read them if I needed to. Best of both worlds.
-
I also leave them off and turn off the pilot voice too. Really like the way sometimes you have to wait for your answer - feels immersive to me regardless of whether realistic or not.

Now i’m the bad guy. I’ll be sure to keep this in mind and raise my voice in the future (i.e. i’m going to yell at you… always). Get some hearing aids you old bastard!!
