Realism Overhaul - Radios

Summary

Part of the Realism Overhaul mod collection.

Description

The aim of this mod is to adjust the properties of the radios to be more realistic.

Current changes:
- Removed the radial VONMenu so that all radio manipulation has to be done via interaction
- Player name is no longer visible to others when talking via proximity chat or radio
- It is now possible to transmit across factions with a captured enemy radio
- Overhauled the radio voice effects to make radios sound like actual 80s military radios
- Added squelch open and close sound effects when receiving transmissions
- Limited the number of transceivers(called channels ingame) per radio to 1
- Handheld radios have to be held in hand to transmit
- Radios are turned off by default
- Backpack radios no longer act as spawn points
- Backpack radio knobs can now be adjusted when its dropped on the ground
- Increased PRC-77, R-170M and RF-10 radio ranges to 8km
- Changed PRC-77 frequency range to 30MH <-> 75.95MHz
- Changed PRC-77 frequency step to 50 Khz
- Changed R-170M frequency range to 20MH <-> 52MHz
- Changed R-170M frequency step to 10 Khz (1 is the real value but too difficult to adjust in game currently)
- Changed RF-10 frequency range to 44MH <-> 53.975MHz
- Changed RF-10 frequency step to 25 Khz
- Decreased PRC-68 range to 500m
- Changed PRC-68 frequency range to 38MHz <-> 40MHz, with a 200KHz step to simulate the 10 programmable channel limit
- Reduced R-148 range to 500m
- Changed R-148 min and max frequencies to 37MHz and 51.95MHz.
- Changed R-148 frequency step to 50KHz
- Added experimental vehicle radios to UH-1H and LAV-25
- Crew helmet is required to connect to a vehicle radio

Unfortunately not much can be changed about the radios or the VON system. I have some big things in mind I would like to do for some proper military radio simulation such as half duplex, capture effect, terrain interception or programming channels, but sadly Reforger is very limited in modding this area, so don't expect any of these to come.
