"I have 1.8288 metres of Russia for you!"
My personal favourite is the "look what they've done to our homes" one. Especially when it's shouted out in the middle of a factory...
"I have 6 feet of Russia for you!"

Haha, you most definitely win a prize.
Unfortunately it's a piece of Steam coal.
And you can't have it really
Touche.
And I was so lusting after my TF2 Soldier T-shirt with the 'I visited Traktony Zavod and all I got was this stinking winter trigger guard' logo.
I bet some Germans where.
It was either that or pulling your trousers down to poop and then die of hipothermia.
(This did happen believe it or not, I've seen it in many WWII documentaries)
And the Russians did and do use the metric system. Before it they used several different obsolete units of mesurement.

I would like to see a reduction in these at least - nothing huge, but they do come around a bit too quickly it seems
One that has literally almost sent me insane a couple of times, is the acid-trip "leaving the combat zone" - although it may only be a problem on certain maps. A couple of times I've stepped slightly out, and what seems like 4 or 5 different people are all spouting something together, and pretty loud too. Since the voice samples are different, they all blend together at full volume to create something quite painful! It certainly gets me back in the combat zone though. Where I last noticed this, was playing on the German side on Station - and I wandered too far left from the first spawn. Evil

Evil I guess the Soviet Union adopted the metric system somewhere around 20 years prior to the Battle of Stalingrad (one source I found said 1918, another said 1924). I don't imagine that would be anywhere enough time to completely erase the "fut" from colloquial Russian vocabulary. Assuming of course the grave implications of "six feet" has any meaning in Russian in the first place.
I thought that the previous russian measurement system was not imperial? I read up on the measurement systems used by russia a while ago when looking at dragoon rifles and their conversion process to 91/30 mosins.
Yea, I only went by wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete_Russian_units_of_measurement where the "foot" or "fut" (фут) is listed, equivalent to the english foot.
The whole point is to make the dialogue make sense to those it's targeted for. Assuming you're an American player, "Six feet under" is something you'll understand even though it's not something they'd say.
It's like playing a medieval fantasy game and everyone speaks modern English. No, they wouldn't actually be speaking the language in this dialect, but it's for the sake of the viewer.
I personally like the voice acting, though they do occur too frequently and in odd circumstances. I was advancing alone on Ogledow when my soldier just spouted "Are you wounded?"
Maybe he speaks to himself...

If I wanted to hear modern Americans speak I'd play something set in modern time. Part of my interest in RO is in learning about other peoples.
Don't native voices actually affect performance since their sound files are much larger?
Schizophrenia is linked to things other than prolonged consumption of illicit drugs, so there is a distinct possibilty even if it is Soviet Russia.
Don't think so, I've been using the native voices for quite some time now and I haven't noticed a slight difference in performence.
The immersion, however, is much bigger.
I must try these native sound options I don't speak German or Russian though, so while it may be immersive for some, doesn't it actually kill part of the experience for people like me? I suppose I don't really need to hear "they got him!", or even "MG!!" - since the sound effects themselves give that away. Hmm

does the enemy your sneaking behind hear the words to?
I find it very entertaining when an enemy will scream aaaaaahhhhwwwaaa, when charging to stab you from behind, I will quickly turn around and shoot him.
This explains the 'six feet of Russia'.
It's not referencing the modern American idiom; it's intended as the length of earth needed to bury the body.
If not being something about putting the Germans six feet under, I believe it could be something else. I think it might be the soldier talking about his rifle a bayonet as a mosin might be close to about 6 feet long with the bayonet attached. So he's pretty much saying he's going to either stab and or shoot a german with this Russian made rifle.:IS2:
