Change the Air Missile Lock On alarm audio source
New, NormalPublic

Description

In response to Missile Lock Sound affected by vehicle attenuation BIS came up with an ingenious solution (see parent task) which was to change the audio source of the lock-on sound to radio so that it would be listenable at all times.

However this brings a major problem, since most people find an utter annoyance the automatic radio chatter of "Regroup" or "MAN 75 METERS SOUTH EAST" and things like "GRID 1 5 6 1 3 0 OVER" many simply disable radio sound as it completely useless and simply annoying, resulting in the Lock On sound also ending up being muted and misjudged as a bug with the helicopters/planes or a sound mod.

Thus I'd suggest you try find a better solution such as changing the audio source of the Missile Lock alarm once again, or simply adding a feature that mutes radio chatter.
This latter option would actually be appreaciated in a greater range of problems.

Steps To Reproduce

Before reproducing the problem, change in game audio settings by muting the radio audio source.

Create a reproduction environment in editor:

1 Place a BLUFOR Helicopter/Plane hovering somewhere on the map. Set pilot as player.
2 Place an OPFOR Tigris nearby the previously placed helicopter/plane.
3 Run the "mission", watch the vehicle radar detecting a locked incoming missile but no alarm sound being heard.
