I dont know the reason of this change, but some sounds usually are very hungry in PC resources. Exactly for that sometimes you read to test some games also without sound.

What i found annoying soundwise earlier was how most times i couldn't hear bullet hitting my plane.

One can imagine beeing hit by that german cannon would make a pretty loud bang :grin:

Only rearly i heard some MG-bullets hitting me, but those weren't even close to how nice used to sound in 46 game.

Not tested yet if any improvements with patch for that

I think theres a soundbug when the Ju-88 is running idle, you can't hear the engines at all.

PS Don't like the new sounds on BF109 and BF110 as well, sound like bombers now.

I think they added the new retard dronning sound to the last patch sound for flybys. Thus if my ears serves me correctly if they take that added dopplar/dronning/motorbike sound away will have ther last patch outside view flyby sound again. All will be happy again. :confused:

I say no to new dronning dopplar sound )flyby motorbike engine sound)

They had it PERFECT last patch, If not broke DONT fix it.

Try changing the in game sound to 100%, someone had the same problem in a blenhiem.. you can turn the sound down again after.

No someone tinkered with the sounds for this alpha and whoever did it should be tarred and feathered - period. The sound of the 109 prior to the patch was great. Just needed a little tweaking. But the RAF fighter planes need a redo. They sound like diesels.

agreed

My 4 year old daughter hit the nail on the head when she saw me playing and said "daddy that plane sounds like a clown car",and at that point I heard a honker horn in my head and I had to turn the game off.
When the ROF sound guy came in we got good sounds, now its been given back they are being undone. Makes sense.

Agreed!
Sound is by far not anymore that great as it was :!:

Apart from some parts of the new 109 sounds I really like the new ones, esp. BR20 and G50 sounds.
And the whole bunch of Merlin engines in Hurricane and Spitfire didnt experience that much sound change I guess.

Besides did anyone hear the new ambient sounds? Like bomb whistle, atmospheric ambient...
I would really like to hear some birds tweeting, working sounds around the airfield, waves crushing, seagulls... :)
