Say Again for AI atc, wingmen, and awacs

[young hinge]

Basically what the title says. Instead of saying "AWACS bogey dope" again if you missed information you could just say "Say Again" and have them repeat it.

also, saying repeat should not work if added, because that means "fire using the same method and quantity" in surface-surface operations

Feels unnecessary as you can simple call for it once more, just listen for the info you want.

sure but its still qol

[hazy shuttle]

yes pls say again

[hazy shuttle]

this would only work for the order "attack my target", but once a wingman is told to attack a target they will keep attacking it until it dies

so theres no point telling it to repeat the attack

i believe this is true i haven't tested it 😜

mmm looks like if its able to snap shot it fires once and then does whatever it wants, and if it isn't in range it will try to kill it until it dies

in that case i guess there is a use case for repeat attack, and you get free dopamine even if it does what it was going to do anyways

im saying repeat shouldnt work

plus there is no surface to surface in vtol (at least right now who knows)

for example if someone were to fire a machine gun at a bearing of 140 and fires 100 rounds, if someone yells "repeat" they would do the same thing again

oh, i see what you mean

[young hinge]

I want to bring this back up, because I just had this happen to me yesterday when I missed a BRAA callout, asked again (as in said awacs bogey dope) and it gave me a completely different BRAA

if said "say again" it would repeat exactly what it said.

also does anyone know if atc picks a runway depending on wind?

i think it does
