I'm speaking mostly of the R-1830 in the P36. The R-2600 in the B25 is also far from correct. I've actually flown in one of those. I'm no n00bie to real aircraft, and neither are most of my BlitzPig squadmates, and to a man they all would revert to the original sounds if possible. While not correct they are not nearly as offensive as the amaturish attempt in the sound mod.

I know all about the turbo installations on the P47, P38, B17. I've heard them all fly. And a real Bf109, and real Spits, Hurricanes, P40s, P39s, P51s, B17s, a Lancaster, F4Fs, FM2s, F6Fs, F4Us, DC3s, etc... Shall I go on?

Nothing improves if constructive criticism is ignored, or worse, dismissed out of hand do to pride, arrogance, or lack of knowledge.

And don't start with that "well if you think they are wrong then do it better yourself" tripe. I don't claim to be a recording engineer, but I do know what many real warbirds sound like, and they don't sound like the sound mod, which was presented to us as an amazing improvement. It's more like someone has seen too many Hollywood movies about WW2 and thinks that's the way they should sound.
