Garbled UK Radio Message

[LukeFF]

In playing a mission tonight, I noticed one of the radio calls from an RAF fighter sounded a bit garbled (that, or I wasn't listening close enough ). It sounded something along the lines of "I am (unintelligible) from your position." Is it just me, or is one of the audio files messed up?

I think you mean the 'I am an inbound fighter approaching from the <screech>' If it is that, then it was intentional. If they'd left in 'East' then just perhaps some folks might have expected the attack to come in from the east. Just a guess...

I figured the checking-in pilot really was saying "approaching from the east" to underscore that the RAF units would be based at airfields in western Iraq and thus would be approaching the battlespace generally from the east (as least relative to the "Highland Games" campaign).

I have found this too. If there is lots going on around the map, the messages appear to 'lag' for want of a better word.

I imagine that they would be approaching from the RAF Base at Akrotiri, a much easier option.
