Thanks guys! Keep up the good work. :salute: BTW Is it fpschazly's voice?? So similar...

Well spotted, check out the Credits :Kaleun_Wink:

Good job Gentlemen and thank you for your reactivity. Cordially

Very nice! Thanks. Have only had a little time with it so far but I really like what I'm seeing!! :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Very nice, thanks a lot.

I am not sure if you are already aware of this, but AI subs detect passive torpedoes that are activated in their baffles.

What AI subs specifically?

Did you guys make any changes that would directly break either the Russian Subs mod or the LA Flight 2/3 mod?

BTW, love that the voices are in the game. They do need some cleaning up (I know they're placeholders at the moment) but still very cool and can't wait for the final product!

Always assume any new patch will break previous mods.

Thanks
 

I love where you guys are going with the added voices. Even though it's a beta version, it is already a lot more immersive.

By the way, is it just me or is the enemy response way more intense?

Love the update.. Signature still remains though after enemy shipping sunk.

Thank You for this update!
I like it.

About new crew voices: looks good but maybe more military accent/command speed for better immersion (maybe background sound, noise)?
I very like examples from this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF1Q...utu.be&t=2m24s .

Please to add on/off voices in settings and volume slider for voices also for the final 1.05. :yeah:

Also please add a key bind for the Full in-game unit reference linked to Signature tab. I like to do (almost) everything with the keyboard!

Thanks.

Trying out 1.05, thank you KF, great work. As for the crew voices, I have turned them off because I personally don't like them, they kill my immersion rather than the opposite. This is a matter of personal likes and dislikes (everyone's different). I can understand why this feature was asked for and I'm glad for those who now have it. It's a pleasure to encounter a developer that introduces changes like this but makes them optional.

That sounds too forced and either too rehearsed or not rehearsed enough,not sure which ?Takes away from immersion...needs a redo for sure,or bettter voice actors.Spend alittle money and get some pro's ,it will be well worth it in the long run.
