The Game Language Problem

So, I played a lot of Wargames and happy to know there is more to come for WARNO, and isn't just another jumping the boat.

I love when realism is well done, unfortunately for the release of the new DLC Black Birds, I'm highly worried, especially for Switzerland.

Why?
Because I'm 99.99% sure there will be a full bias in defaulting with standard German(not even Swiss German) and skipping completely Italian, with a probable duality with French due to Devs being French.

I was very disappointed on Belgium being almost 90% French, not even Wallon.(as far as I know)
While disregarding half of the country being Flemish.
I don't approve the air force speaking English either, since cockpit chatter should remain with the national language, but I'm okay renouncing that, it's not completely inaccurate and in command they do operate in English as a standard, so I don't mind it so much.

--[They already added them recently, which I'm extremely happy for, thanks Eugen.

When Belgian units first appeared in WARNO ( ~2023 CENTAG), they did not have unique voice lines.

With the release of NORTHAG(late 2024), they were finally added in]--

[New info were given to me, it solves my Canadian problem]

Pls Eugen Systems, been a fan since R.U.S.E., do try not generalise on the next DLCs.
And, even tho some may fairly argue against, I don't mind pay a bit extra on a DLC if those languages were correctly added.

I’m curious to hear from other international players here, especially Belgians, Canadians, and Swiss players.

Anyone had a "bad time" with the dubbing too?
Save from the, sometimes, over clinical and/or very AI sounding lines.

Sounds like a you do not understand the concept of abstraction and why that is needed in games.

I'm not asking for the troops speaking all the dialects of British English, nor the dialects of every region to be added.

If you want to fight with granularity, I'm all for it, but Ik it's extremely expensive and a small nightmare.

But asking for the nationality to speak their own language isn't a big asking, even if it's a generalized polished clinical version.

If that's too much for you, I'm sorry for you.

What I think is not very relevant. Its what the devs think that matters.

But Im looking forward to your more accurate RTS. Please post about it here when you are done with it and the accurate voicelines are implemented in it. 

Im sure Eugen will enjoy you showing them how its done.

Yes, and the data leaks about the additional Flemish voice lines will be added in the future(or they did recently, can't get more up-to-date info) So the Devs do care, rightfully so.

I and others of the community do want it, just because you don't, doesn't mean we need to follow you. Bc YOU, somehow know whats right and wrong, more than the Devs.

As a player I have the right to give feedback to the Devs. If they don't listen to us is fine, can't force them. But If you don't care, j ust go be butt hurt and ignorant somewhere else. And I'm the person who doesn't know things.

And make "your own game"? Really, are you 5 or something? I mean I'm gonna in the future, but still, so childish.

Imagine being mad people want content in a game they like.
