Hello Freiwillige and Bingo!
I agree and think that a new German voice pack might be a good addition. There are some mildly annoying aspects to the stock German voices. Besides the screaming, etc. what gets me is that before the scream, Number three, or whoever it is, quite calmly announces "This is number three." And right after that, he launches into this terrified scream, yelling something to the extent that he is going down. This is just one example of some of the jarring immersion breakers included in the standard voice pack.
According to some WWII combat aviation veterans, the first thing to go in the heat of battle, is radio discipline. Perhaps, that could be reflected in a new voice pack.
However, I do appreciate the fact that the designers of the game actually bothered to include the original languages in their voice packs. The German voice pack, for example, has quite a few different German dialects, which I find quite cool.
The fact that most nationalities one can fly for in IL-2 actually have their aviators' voices in the original languages was one of the aspects that attracted me to IL-2. By listening to the Japanese, Italian, or Russian voices, one could actually pick up a phrase or two. Yes, I know that it might not be that handy to know the phrases for "Maintain your altitude," or "Course 1-5-0" when you are at the beach in Italy, or somewhere in downtown Tokyo. However, I do believe that having the original languages in the game adds a lot to it.
Perhaps, some of the German speakers here could try to improve the existing voice pack.
Just my two cents on this.
Regards,
RB
