Baker Zebra! Writing the dialog for crew voices! Feedback welcome

Previous patch the US voice set was released, and now you get submarine action!

It started a year ago, a surprise request while I was working on the USS Texas (still working on details). Little did I know i was in over my head in figuring out what was said on ship!

Some things I could find published and uploaded on the internet, some things I knew about, and some things came from movies which I then cross checked with published sources for veracity. And some things I could not find anywhere, so had freedom to make original, appropriate, dialog.

I also decided on 2 goals
To make the US dialog as widely different as possible to UK (interestingly some authentic dialog is identical, other is very different)
Work best with the way the game worked, mainly in short message as possible.

I was not involved with who will speak the dialog, or the directing, or how it is activated on game, but on hearing them I would make a couple of changes but am overall good with the results.

Feed back welcome, if something you do not like, please offer your suggest.

Cheers!

Fun fact the USS Texas is the New York Class Dreadnought meaning it is the pride of both Texas and New York. New York is in origin but Texas where she resides.

Totally off topic and yeah . . . necro posting here, but quick question . . .

Are you going to see the USS Texas display for the 250th??
I know you are pretty close and was just curious(it is WAY too far for me to go)

If so . . TAKE PICS for us here!!!

As far as the dialog goes, I rarely wear my headsets and have most of that
voice stuff turned way down anyway. It can be distracting for me personally.

But good luck with that, I know many enjoy that stuff!!

Hi LeChance!

Texas was not open for the 4th, and I have been taking care of ailing mother to volunteer there.
Ship has a number of media channels to see the latest work.

Turn up the volume! Most of the voices work great, give it a listen. I would make more changes, but that is above my meager pay grade.

Cheers!
