Hey everyone! What would you think about having the standard IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 "Enemy Aircraft Destroyed" message replaced with "Scratch one?!" I just think that scratch one is way more authentic than "Enemy Aircraft Destroyed."

I was also thinking about having the German Luftwaffe pilots' message "Achtung Jak" " auf (zwei) Uhr." Replaced with the German generic word for enemy aircraft, Feind. The "Achtung Jak!" message seems to be uttered every time fighters are encountered by AI pilots flying for Germany and human pilots.

I just think that it's rather silly to have "Achtung Jak" be say every time there are enemy fighters encountered, when there are no Russian/Soviet aircraft in sight, at least in France, anyway.  Just American, and British/Commonwealth fighters in the West. Why does the German pilot utter "Achtung Jak!" every time an enemy fighter is sighted, regardless if it's a Yak series or Mikoyan/other Soviet fighter plane series? Even if it's an American or British plane, he still shouts "ACHTUNG!" "JAK!" I just think that's a little ridiculous.

And if a friendly aircraft is shot down by another friendly (ie fratricide/friendly fire) aircraft, then there should be a message that says "Whose side are you on?" Same with other friendly targets attacked by a friendly on the same side.

I just think that this would compliment it.  I just think that IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 just feels so plain and boring with these messages, just my opinion.

The German pilots shout "Absprung!" "Absprung!" instead of "Spring ab!"

What about modifications to the German radio dialogue?

Just edit your hud_log in STD/i18n or change the hud_log_de to hud_log - radio messages no idea??

except to my knowledge, German lines go "Achtung - *Jäger".

"ACHTUNG!" "JAK!" I just think that's a little ridiculous.

Not "Achtung Jak"!

Achtung Jagd! (Attention hunting)

"Attention, fighters!"

Generally speaking, of course it's theoretically possible to make complete new sets of spoken language sound files. However, it's not easy and especially needs to be done at least semi-professional to not sound like a total comedy.

[bomberkiller]

...fighters! You're right!

Reminds me of my navy days when, as a Hawkeye technician, I occasionally heard "Splash one bogie!" coming out of the ground trainer.
Also worth mentioning in this context is the way that, during stock missions at least, Hungarian and Finnish pilots in Il-2 called out each victory with a kind of verbal rimshot: "Bada-boom!" Always thought that was cute. I'll have to fly some missions in these nationalities to see if that's still the case.

Either way, it just sounds so silly. Is like the German for "Tally ho" or something?

[Vampire_pilot]

it's perfectly fine in German, yes.
