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).

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 .
