Unit DataBase, Immersion, Modding

[O_Allos]

Is the game using the Harpoon unit database ? Since the Harpoon database is still maintained and updated, it would be extremely helpful for period modding thus making the game richer and richer.

One of the things that truly made - for me at least- Fleet Command immersive were the richness and spot-on voice callouts. Using not only male/female voices and 2-3 versions of each but also different voice pitches depending on the urgency or stress level of the "NPC" making the callout... the pitch and urgency in the voice of a callout responding from a relatively calm AWACS seat vs the voice response of a pilot under stress... or the sudden "Emergency racket bearing One-One-Five !" upon unexpected/sudden electronic contact. Adding an extra layer of variable strength static which depends on the intensity of voice comms jamming would upgrade the experience to an unprecedented immersion level.

I would urge the devs to study the way Fleet Command did their voices ESPECIALLY is the voice callouts are in the unit respective country language (or at least put country placeholders that can be gradually populated by either the devs of modders).

Same goes with the sound effects that would nicely lend themselves to being upgraded/modded.

Of course, opinions and ideas are cheap so I will up the ante : I have the means and the contacts to have voice packs professionally produced if the devs are interested in doing so; msg me.
