How do I properly handle a Status 5?

How do I properly handle a unit sending a status 5 speech request? Seems like right click → speak prompt is an admin tool? And when saying “Go ahead” on the radio the unit doesn’t respond.

Either you do right click → speak prompt which shouldn’t be an admin tool.

Or

In your communication screen there should be a drop down menu where you can search and choose vehicles by there callsigns. Search the unit, double click on it and you’re calling the unit via radio, it should answer then.

I thought it was an admin menu since the information button was in it as well as the force status buttons. Sorry my misunderstanding. However when calling a unit via your 2nd method the status log still shows the unit in status 5 with a red background. Any ideas why that wont go away?

Would also like to know this! I also respond with confirmation ended but the status 5 stays in the log

No matter if you call the Unit by Variant 1 or Variant 2 you need to send the unit a speak prompt via Right click -> speak prompt. Otherwise it will stay in S5

Thanks Erik! That indeed works.
