Situation awareness through AI

[AcesDarthBubu]

I am aware previously this has been discussed before, just didn't see any official response on whether it can or can't be done. As a single player gamer, the game now has AI team mates calling out when engaging enemy. What the game is lacking is for the AI flight lead (where player belongs) to call out and have the entire flight engaging enemy planes, as well as rejoining back once the fight is over. What is happening currently is the entire flight will suddenly veers off to engage an enemy flight, which is very immersion breaking. I believe there are sound files that are readily available to have the flight lead to do a call out, just not sure why it isn't implemented. 

 

Plus, is it possible to also utilize the "rep_underattack" , "rep_falling", "rep_Iamhit" sound byte as well? Instead of the usual "rep_wounded" and "rep_onfire" ones. 

Hope this can be answered or best still implemented after "korea" is fully launched.

So I digged the rabbit hole abit deeper, ungtp the script and discovered the soundengine.cfg file to attempt my very limited knowledge of cfg file meddling. 

Wasn't very successful in getting these messages played, despite increasing voice queue or shorten the delay to allow call out. Any pointers are appreciated if any one knows.

I myself am only disabling the xxx is attacking messages because I don't want to be warned when I am flying alone:

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/81471-mod-to-deactivate-message-player-callsign-is-attacking-enemy-fighters/

New messages, as you already know I have created only directly in mission groups (enemy grid messages, wingmen warnings), what works well for me...

Wish you much success!

Yup, I do use your mods (they are great!). In this case, I was trying to check whether default game fully utilize all the sound messages, in which I discovered that there are quite a number of the 'templates' are never used or at least I haven't heard or seen the text used before. Not sure whether it's a bug, or it wasn't fully enabled by the devs.
