Forked Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Coming up with a Zeus mission involving NATO where multiple nations units are cobbled together hastily to deal with an enemy force, most likely Russian. This will also be a complete cluster fuck even if fully organized so oh well. MULTIPLE LANGUAGES WILL BE ATTEMPTED TO BE USED, MEANING TRANSLATORS WILL BE NEEDED This will take time so don't expect this any time soon or if I lose interest in trying to form it. To accommodate this idea platoon will be modified to work with this idea, as well as use of assets IF AT ALL. The amount of units needed in platoon squad will depend on how many languages will be used in platoon, Platoon lead will be the English speaking commander, while the other spots will be translators mean to inform PLT lead and relay orders to the squads not using English What will probably not be changed The platoon lead will be the English country(s) leader and de facto command The majority of platoon will be English units so people who can not use the languages picked will have a squad to be in Different long range frequencies will be 69 for English and Zeus, 68 for 2nd language, 67 for 3rd language and so on Short range comms and local communications will be encouraged and recommended to use the appropriate language your squad is in but not strictly enforced Long range comms will be required to use the appropriate languages What will be needed Platoon lead and translators Squad leads (And languages you can speak fluently enough in) Enough people who can speak a specific language to at least fill one whole squad and have a translator (9 in total) All people responding to this post please put in the languages you can fluently speak in and I'll probably update it as I get info. Languages up for selection based on feedback German Dutch Belgian French? Swedish? Danish? Edited July 8, 2017 by Forked 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlolo Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 We'd have to combine some Scandinavian languages, like Norwegian and Swedish. Don't know what to do about the Danes, since they are incomprehensible to themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timberhawk Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'd like to be dutch squad lead or translator if you're doing signups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blutze Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 The translator aspect is probably gonna fall short because everybody already has to able to speak english for the majority of our missions. If we could make this a regular planned thing however, I know somebody who was RPG gunner in the east german army and really wouldn't be able to communicate well enough. Sorting squads by nationality would be silly fun though, mostly because of the dick contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Aryson Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Fluent in English and French, this thing is a cool idea but maybe a little bit to much of a clusterfuck, but still i'm up for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
