GerryCMBB Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hello All: I believe the Commonwealth Forces use the green icons and American voices? Why cannot this be changed for each nationality? Thanks, Gerry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 As far as voices go...it's only the Canadians who share the US voice files. Brits and Poles have their own. The Canadians can be modded though (as they have their own naming convention). But I can't do it 'cause I don't do funny foreign accents.

Baneman Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Makes sense. All the Canadians I've met sound American. Oddly though, they always seemed to be irked when I mentioned that. Dunno why 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Need to add in a few "oat" and "aboat" phrases... Here's the real problem... how do you tell Australians from New Zealanders? (Even my own Kiwi pal couldn't explain it clearly to me.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokturnal Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Need to add in a few "oat" and "aboat" phrases... Here's the real problem... how do you tell Australians from New Zealanders? (Even my own Kiwi pal couldn't explain it clearly to me.) Get your Kiwi pal to say "six" or "this" (or anything that sounds similar) then when you hear Aussies say the same word, you will notice the difference. It's almost as if the letter I is replaced by U with certain words. The other infamous phrase is "fish and chips" (fush n chups). Kanonier Reichmann's method is equally accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietrich Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Whereas if a Kiwi had been the first to post an answer to Erwin's question, he would have given exactly the opposite response! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yep. 'S allright though, nobody gives a monkey's about rugby league. That's were you are wrong, I do. It also quite obvious that the Australians do to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Makes sense. All the Canadians I've met sound American. Oddly though, they always seemed to be irked when I mentioned that. Dunno why LOL - I agree we do sound like many Americans. It is my American friends that think I sound funny. I still do not hear it:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 All the Canadians I've met sound American. Seems true to me too (that is, except for French Canadians, who are a law unto themselves). But it wasn't always that way. As recently as three decades ago I met an older Canadian woman who still pronounced 'about' as 'aboot' and other ou combinations as oo. I think this came through the Scottish immigrants of the previous centuries. I think ubiquitous television has had a leveling effect on all accents. For instance, the accent of Southerners is not so pronounced as it was, say, fifty years ago. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Guy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Strange as we never hear "aboot" in my neck of the country. In fact, we are thought to have no perceptible accent and as such, are recruited by Asian schools more than any other regional due to that flatness. I do love a good British accent though. Something about it that just makes everything sound more sophisticated. My sister lives in Missouri and that I have trouble understanding, though Newfies (people from Newfoundland and Labrador) could give them a run for their money. I am hoping though that the next CW module for CMFI will have some real Canadianisms in it.

Tactical Wargamer Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Makes sense. All the Canadians I've met sound American. Oddly though, they always seemed to be irked when I mentioned that. Dunno why OF course we sound like Yanks. After all most (of the English Speaking) initially came from America. We just kept the faith as Loyalists. After the "rebellion" of 1776 you kicked us out and seize all our lands and property. We both butchered the English language just us a little less so haha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryCMBB Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 What about the icons? It looked in the screenshots for Bil's AAR that the Italians were using the same colored icons as the Germans. Thanks, Gerry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
