+nurmix Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 He left out one... I believe it's when your plane has reached the destination you set and you haven't looked at the map yet. To my ears it sounded like: "Check pawn it's close". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nurmix Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 "Checkpoint close."Ahh. I’ll have to listen to it again. My brain remembers it having more syllables... maybe “checkpoint is close”?•Sent from my Intellivision keypad phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSRSteve Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 4 hours ago, Zendocon said: I thought it was "checkpoint below us." No, I don't think so. There is a "Checkpoint in sight", I think in addition to "Checkpoint close". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendocon Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I thought it was "below us" because if you're in Bomb Bay view and the target appears, the voice might be "target in sight" or what I thought was "target below us." "Close" is close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zendocon Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That would make sense. The same voice sample used to construct "that was close" after taking a hit is used in "checkpoint close" and "target close". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
