Default Machine gun sounds

Hi!

As the patch has made the CTD:s go away for me at least I have started thinking of other things which feels good

I don't know what the rest of you think but as the sounds are generally awesome now I feel that the machine gun sounds in the British fighters are a bit lacking. To little "unleash hell" for me and It's more like the sound I would expect in a plane with two MG:s and not eight? When firing eight machine guns at the same time the number of rounds per second exceeds a Gatling gun but of course they are more synchronized than a Gatling that has a very "smooth" burp, but the number of rounds per second will be more than the six barrel Gatling gun and as they will not all fire exactly at the same time it really should be more of a semi-synconized "burp"? I want more of the feeling that I unleash 1150 x 8 = 9200 rounds per minute at least

I've searched for some clip of a Spitfire or Hurricane firing at some range but cant find it, here is one of a P-40 at least (only six guns but .50 of course):



Then there is of course the discussion about how loud they should be that I will not touch here as I think the volume works for me...

Great vid,thanks for sharing,I know where your coming from,the brit guns are almost silent are'nt they? and don't give you that reasuring thump,thump,thump.

While we're at it,what about some realistic smoking tracers,rather than the dead straight 'light sabres'that we have at present.

A browning machine gun was dug up and test fired at a range:

WOW...great video mate,superb,really enjoyed this one,and you can see the smoking tracers arc across the sky in your video too,fantastic

What a credit to Mr Browning that this gun still is firing after some seventy years.
