Spearzone Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I know this has been requested before but I'd like to bring it to attention again : We truly need some more callsigns for player and AI aircraft. Just hearing ENFIELD, UZI and COLT all the time gets kind of boring in terms of radio comms. If you have any suggestions for new callsigns please reply ! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Northstar98 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) +999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 As for specifics, there are tonnes of real-life ones choose from that can be fairly easily sourced. Personally, for me, even the NATO phonetic alphabet would be sufficient enough (though it's probably more suitable for ground units). Here's the call signs from SF2 (excluding ones that are present in DCS), they should be more than enough, they are taken from real world call signs AFAIK: ANVIL AUSTIN BISON BUICK COWBOY CRAB DAGGER DALLAS (Used by a FARP in DCS) DENVER GOPHER GUNSLINGER KINGFISH LION MAMBA MEMPHIS OLDS OYSTER PYTHON RAMROD RAMBLER SHOWTIME TIGER TROUT TUNA VIPER WOLFPACK ZULU I'll edit if I find more. Hopefully we'll see more call signs and improved voices with the new radio system. Personally, when it comes to comms, I think DCS does a slightly worse job than SF2 when it comes to voices and certainly when it comes to call signs.

JonathanRL Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Above all else, I would love if the new Callsigns were not US Centric but instead were more adaptable. The SF2 list would be a good start but as a Campaign maker who loves to make shit up, just having generic callsigns that does not scream "United States" would be awesome.

Oh yeah sure, it would be great to have nation specific call signs. I just meant as a starting point, especially when most playable aircraft in DCS are US.

DonCalzone Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 +1 I'd be happy with the NATO phonetic alphabet but adding country specific call signs would be icing on the top. The germans where using following spelling alphabet (would be nice for german warbirds but all pilots are talking english with a german accent anyway :doh:) Ä - Ärger A – Anton B – Berta C – Cäsar D – Dora E – Emil F – Friedrich G – Gustav H – Heinrich I – Ida J – Julius K – Konrad L – Ludwig M – Martha N – Nordpol O – Otto Ö – Ödipus P – Paula Q – Quelle R – Richard S – Siegfried T – Theodor U – Ulrich Ü – Übel V – Viktor W – Wilhelm X – Xanthippe Y – Ypsilon Z - Zeppelin The phonetic alphabet used by the allies during ww2 also has some nice callsigns IMO Able Baker Charlie Dog Easy Fox George How Item Jig King Love Mike Nan Oboe Peter Queen Roger Sugar Tare Uncle Victor William Xray Yoke Zebra Link to post Share on other sites
tosmonaute Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 +1 for more Callsigns for each nations i agree with JonathanRL Link to post Share on other sites
AG-51_Razor Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 While they're at it, how about a few more callsigns for the Tankers?? We have about 6 or 7 available for a JTAC and only 3 for the tankers?? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to post Share on other sites
HedgeSlammer Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) +1 This would be really handy - for me at least, much more welcome than yet another shiny new weapon or minor bug fix, and hopefully doesn't take that much doing. And in case inspiration is needed, here's some I see on Freedar quite often: Rockstar Pirate Recon Albert (RAF C130) Warlord Havoc NATO Razor Rebel Tempest plus a load more I just found here Edited October 16, 2020 by HedgeSlammer Link to post Share on other sites

KingKenny04 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I'd like to bump this topic. With the recent news that the ATC rework will require re-recording voice, I'd like to ask that new callsigns be added when the recordings happen. I understand that may be a low priority, but it would really help with immersion if we could add a bunch of new callsigns, especially those used in real operations. There are a ton of great suggestions in this thread, but I'd like to add a few suggestions of my own that I heard in the course of my time in the Marine Corps.

hancerPL Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 No exaggeration, but it would be nice to add a few new names. As missions are written for more people, the ones that are there are not enough. Specialization A-10C https://vbw304.pl/ Link to post Share on other sites
Rescue Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Also : The possibility to change the Callsign IN MISSION ie via rearm Menu! It's not needed for single run missions but for the dynamic 24/7 stuff. You found a mate to play with? Uzi 8-2 and Ford 3-1 doesn't work well. So you can set with someone else to your wish. Especially with many more callsigns. Also so to add. It's annoying to see a plane with HMD like UZ11 but i can't tell him to defend against a missile because his Callsign is somewhat else and he won't react to it. (24/7 Server of course) Greetings Edited February 23 by Rescue Link to post Share on other sites
