[THESO] asalonen Privateer 791 posts 15,219 battles Report post #1 Posted February 26, 2022 Can we have the option to replace this guy with a different commander with the same skills? I like his skills, but not so much his name, his face, or his voice. Some friends feel the same (for whatever reason) and they just dismissed him. Should I do the same? Any advice? 2 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But since the collab ended he might end up like John Doe aka Steven Segul and get replaced by a generic commander. Dismissing him will just oose you one of the games best commanders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like having two 21-point commanders with strong perks that I cannot stand using. I'd prefer not using mods that affect other commanders. This is gameplay-related and so completely on topic on this forum. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is gameplay-related and so completely on topic on this forum. Well, the portrait can be changed with mods, but the voice is a little more difficult. As I understand it, it's the National+ setting that allows you to hear the special commander voices. Changing these settings will likely solve that problem, but as with the mods, it will affect the other captains as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All our staff are now focused on helping our over 550 colleagues from Kiev and their families... Sergei's opinion is in complete contradiction with the company's position.

[S-E] FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor Players 3,532 posts 29,238 battles Report post #16 Posted February 27, 2022 What just because he's Russian? Whatever could anybody have against Russians?! Hating on Russia like that is simply unfair and ridiculous. Just use The Mighty Jingles audio overlay or the Ovechkin voiceover remover from the Aslain mod pack. The enhanced SE skill is just too valuable. Spoiler I mean if you keep playing this RUSSIAN game in the first place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will the "new version" go on sale sometime if that is done ? I have one of them (USN version) and I can only echo the OPs viewpoint, good skills, don't like the voice ... Also should he be replaced by a generic commander, will the dual-nation version still exist in that case ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would welcome further clarification from their side. I would also be grateful for a link to a full translation of their original statetements, if that is available? Best regards!
