Sound Engineers Needed!!!
 

From what I can see in the vids, looking good.

From what I can here, sounds still SUCK. Especially the machine guns...just like a very bad drum kit. AMAZING.

I hope someone with real talent is already working on a fix.

Yeah mate, these amateur's have really been struggling these last 10 years, buggered if I know how they managed to give us the best flight sim ever when the have no talent? Blind luck I spose.

arrrrrrghhhhhhhh!!!!!!

To my ears CoD sounds amazing!

So, just where are you going to find Spits, Hurris, 109s, etc... with fully functioning weapons to record?

And would you believe the sounds anyway if they did?

Real gunfire is not a Hollywood special effect, not even close.

What bugs me, is that the 109, stuka and hurricane all sound the same from external view.
Well, that's my impression from few the vids that's been posted so far.

Old Il2 has a bit more variety at least.

Youtube compresses sound as well as video depending on the settings of the uploader. It may not be indicitive of the actual sound played in the game.

But only a week or so away and we will have a chance of hearing it in person.

Of course my ears are stuffed due to loud music, loud cars and unprotected shooting during my formitive years! What you hear and what I hear may in fact differ.

In quiet moments of self-reflection you realize how dumb can young people be!

Cheers!

As I said, COD is beautiful to look at. But the sound is half the game. If ROF, Battle of Britain 2, CFS 1, 2 and 3 and every other flight sim or FPS can get the sound right, why not Oleg and company. The Stuka sounds like a lawn mower, the guns sound like someone beating a snare drum. SOUND has always been IL2 and company's blind spot. If they could fix it they would. They obviously can't. Maybe a very talented modder will handle it.

The sounds suck compared to what?

I feel they are wonderful and top notch!

Of course there are always complainers, because that is their purpose in life, to complain.

In the future they will record a real Merlin and DB601, for now it's the Klimov V12 that will have to do.

The souds suck compared to every single IL-2 1946 soundmod. Also there is one more sim that suffers from poor sounds and that is ARMA series stock vehicle sounds are just horrid

Internal sounds are nice but external engine sounds are not too good. I'm sure we can fix that though :)
