If you will lead us to use the Nato-Alphabet, then you forgot 1 Letter!

Y sorry, Yankee!


And it is not Indigo, it's India

There is no Yankee, only Zuul!

[Kargush]

There are people who *don't* use the NATO phonetic in FW?

How do they even communicate?!

[B0ll0]

Think it's India, not Indigo

[MovinTarget]

when dropping in one sided match (either way) I've been in some drops where we enjoyed using much less... appropriate... words...

Yes, should be India.

I believe I have video evidence of that somewhere.

No you don't, you tried to post it and it melted a hole in the interwebs

[Formosa The God]

British army here lads, its Indigo, Yanks use India if I remember correctly, NATO too, but I used what I know lol

[Spoo Hunter]

Juliette is always spelled with the -te in the phonetic alphabet to ensure it is pronounced correctly. Languages like French drop the t sound at the words ending in et.

[Hoaggie]

I always try to mix in phonetic numbers to confuse people

[Yarumai]

The problem i have with the phonetic alphabet is that i tend to use the wrong one:

Anna, Berta, Cäsar,
Daniel, Emil, Friedrich,
Gustav, Heinrich, Ida,
Jakob, Kaiser, Leopold,
Marie, Niklaus, Otto,
Peter, Quasi, Rosa,
Sophie, Theodor, Ulrich,
Viktor, Wilhelm, Xaver,
Yverdon, Zürich

No problem understanding the Nato one, I just can't speak it without wildly mixing this and the NATO one.

Creative, but also inherently a dropcaller's nightmare.

Dropcaller: "Get on H, Hunchback! Target legs."
Lancemate #1: "On Hunchback!"
Lancemate #2: "Where's the Hunchback?"
Lancemate #1: "Hunchback is a Highlander."
Lancemate #3: "Wait, I was on the Hunchback, legs are fine, targeting rear torso."
Dropcaller: "No idiots, H is for Hunchback, he is a Highlander. Target Hunchback."
Lancemate: #1 "Oh damn, I was on another Hunchback."
Lancemate: #2 "Guys, where were you? The Highlander just killed me."
Dropcaller: "You mean H, Hunchback right?"
