From Pic one. In text did axis fighter pilots say also 'Tally ho'? I always thought it came from English aristocracy, from fox hunting element?

Towns looking great!

In German language they speaks other. Its a "traslation" of German speech

If you remember In Il-2 Germans ware saying sometime the word Scheise.... but it wasn't traslated directly in English or Russian, or any other language that were supporting later in Il-2

Ah understand now

So that'd be the diplomatic translation, eh?

New clouds look very good also!

Could I humbly request that you don't go too politically correct and keep with language of the time? For example, I am also looking forward to the Peter Jackson remake of Dambusters but he's already had to change the name of Gibsons dog because some over sensitive pillocks can't handle the reality of life at the time.

thanks, it's all immersion.

I'm pretty sure that "tally ho" was commonly used by RAF pilots in WWII when about to engage the enemy.

Oleg - brilliant shots - the sea textures are 100%!!! - I reckon the fire in the first screenshot (the Blenheim?) is fantastic/perfect! And of course, the sun reflecting off perspex etc is awesome! Thanks for the update!

Hello,

I believe the German equivalent of "Tally Ho" is "Horrido". This too is an old aristocratic hunting term and was used by Luftwaffe pilots in WWII in a similar fashion to British "Tally Ho". This said, I humbly request that the German speech pack be change to reflect this (if there is time).

From the Combatsim forums:

Horrido is a Latin word meaning frightful or frightening. Perhaps the Luftwaffe meant for it to mean "Fear me!" You know, in a Samuel L. Jackson Pulp Fiction sort of way.
Ah, but alas, I really don't know anything . . . found this in (of all places) the EAW newsgroup:

Horrido is a hunting expresion used in [G]ermany. It is a greeting like "good afternoon or howdy...." and it is also used in letting someone live up (I think you don't say that in [E]nglish).... anyway , like the [E]nglish speaking say: "Hip hip" and the answer is "Hooray". German hunters say "Horrido" and the cro[w]d answers "Yo".

So, there you go

Horrido was the code for Abschuß (=Kill) in the Luftwaffe, for example "Pauke, Pauke" was the code for attack, "Indianer" was the code for enemy fighter, "dicke Autos" stands for 4mot. enemy Bombers etc.
It was forbidden to use other codes.

Cool! Thanks for the more detailed information. Hopefully the devs have included these in the communications of the new game .
