I don’t necessarily mind the voice - I’d just rather it not sound like she’s in my brain talking to me. Just applying a “ham radio”-ish filter to all the lines would probably appease a ton of people.
But they didn’t have radios back then. At least, not in any form that mattered, and they certainly weren’t used in any military until later.

Doesn’t have to be realistic, just authentic.
What is it with FPS games completely failing in the announcer department lately? DOOM has a disappointing announcer voice as well.
All automatic voices in aircraft are softly spoken females as it has been scientifically proven that men take more notice of that.
Just saying…
In what year did scientists prove that?
…what?
And saying something is “scientifically proven” doesn’t make it so
+1 to the OP.
Plz
Ignore the fact that it is the Daily Wail but I couldn’t find a link I could post from the company. I also was part of the team that installed AVAD to Jaguars. (She sounded filthy especially when she said ‘pull up’)
Haha, kinda funny.
Usually military jets. Civilian airliners still have a weird male voice for warnings. At least the Airbus and Boeing jets still do.
imo they should done stereotypical announcers for each faction like in the 1942/previous games:
for brits: “OI CHAPS WE LOSING OBJECTIVE APPLE, GET YO OVER THERE AND DEFEND IT!” “FOR KING AND COUNTRY LADS, WE ARE TAKING OBJECTIVE APPLE!” “TALLY HOO, WE JUST CAPTURED THE OBJECTIVE APPLE!”
and for germans: “VERDAMMT!(or Schiße!)!WE ARE LOZING ZE OBJECTIVE APPLE, GET YOUR ARSCH OVER ZHERE AND DEFEND IT!” “FÜR KAISER UND VATERLAND, WE ARE TAKING ZE OBJECTIVE APPLE” “GOOD JOB SCHÜTZEN, WE TOOK THE OBJECTIVE APPLE”
lol this would be awesome! 
It’s the lack of emotion/motivation in her voice as well, she sounds like she is being forced to read the scripted lines as soft and monotone as possible, and to be in a game based on one the most horrific wars really doesn’t fit. I didn’t so much like the Battlefield 4 announcer but at least he had the balls to put you in your place for running out of bounds.
Have an officer of each faction announce over radio, which can only be heard in the spawn screen, base and at flags. Makes it real authentic and there is flashing objective markers on your hud.
“But I want to hear announcements everywhere and at any time!”
Well we had that in bf3/4 where a solder would have portable Comms but people still wouldn’t go cap objectives even with “WE HAVE LOST OBJECTIVE FOXTROT!” Blasting away.
Request any main cast of Blackadder for British officer announcer. “Hello Darling” “that’s Captian Darling to you Blackadder”
And maybe change the objective codes names. Do a little bit of research on trench slang and see what you come up with
i can understand people not liking the voice but to forego buying the game for such a small thing is just boarding on insane.
I still don’t get why they can’t attach the voices to any random soldier near you, so it’s more believable. Just play the audio from a nearby friendly soldier. Some games already do this in mp, when your team mates characters call out something passively to alert the team.
It’d be like as if a runner or messenger pigeon at gotten to one of your squad mates and in the heat of battle they are relaying the orders
happy we are that it is not the glados’s voice from portal2. “you failed miserably. surrender”
