Pilot voices! One of the most iconic things in air combat is pilot lingo. We all love those "Fox 2!" calls before launching a heatseeker towards an enemy tailpipe. In Sky Knights, they have unfortunately been missing.

changedPilot voices!One of the most iconic things in air combat is pilot lingo. We all love those "Fox 2!" calls before launching a heatseeker towards an enemy tailpipe. In Sky Knights, they have unfortunately been missing. Until now. Five pilot voices have been recorded, with over 200 lines per voice.
changedPilot voices!Whenever your pilot does something of interest (launching a missile, coming in for landing, gets shot down etc) they will trigger a radio callout. Naturally, you will also hear your team mates radio calls. Everything is 100% network synched, so you will all hear the exact same thing, even the same random variation of a certain voice line. Different hi- and lowpass filters have been used to make it easy to distinguish your own pilot's voice from others'.
changedPilot voices!You are free to select any voice and match it with any avatar of matching gender.
addedComms wheelThis patch also brings a related feature to the table. In addition to the contextual radio calls triggered by events happening in the game, you can manually trigger communication with the new comms wheel. Press L Bumper on gamepad or L Alt on keyboard to bring up the comms wheel, and choose from any of the available commands, making team work much easier than before.

And don't worry. There's a spam filter in place, preventing people from over-using the comms wheel.
