Nosfe Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hi. Playing some scenarios on the italian side, i noticed that when i call for an artillery mission, there are are no voices on the radio confirming the mission :confused: Is it a bug to be fixed, or is it intentional ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryCMBB Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Bummer. I was going to recommend that Aldo Raine do the Italian voices for FFE. Gerry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Nosfe, This makes absolutely no sense. If you're going to shoot an off board fire mission, you must have two way communications of some sort. In the militaries of this time, that would have been primarily either radio or field telephone, both of which would have a live human on the other end of the circuit. A preplanned fire mission could be called in via a light signal, typically a flare fired into the sky (no flares in the game) or maybe a mirror aimed back at a certain location in bright sunlight, also not modeled. So, unless this is mortars over open sights or similar, you should be hearing some sort of voice. Here's some great information on WW II Italian military radios. http://www.qsl.net/ik0moz/re_r_series.htm Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Prisoners Remember that an italian invented radio So, did the italians platoon or company HQ's really have no radio? :eek: Sorry for the ignorance, but i can't figure out why there's not a single italian HQ on the scenarios i playied whith a radio operator. (but this is a little bit O.T. ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The forward observer teams are equipped with radios. You won't hear radio chatter, though, for the same reason the Poles in CMBN don't have it: the voices originate from CMx1 which has no related voice cues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Italians chose to model their artillery FO methods after the French. They mime them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosfe Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 ok thank you for the answer :-) I hope that related voice files will be included somehow in the future, maybe in latest patches (for CMBN too of course). Nosfe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Radios were non-existent at the infantry battalion level and below. I don't care if some website lists the mere existence of such radio models, in practice they weren't around. Communication took place primarily using messengers, typed orders, and if in a static situation, land line telephones. And yes, even doves. EDIT (second paragraph deleted to avoid confusion): I've been corrected, apparently you can still get in call for fires with Italian HQs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Normal Dude, You do realize that even armies on the attack laid wire for field telephones, don't you? I've seen footage of Russian amphibious jeeps laying wire during the crossing of the Oder in the drive on Berlin. This link, just prior to the Conclusion, clearly indicates the Italians relied on land lines, not radio. http://www.scribd.com/doc/9344344/Italian-Army-in-Wwii This might also help.
