Official Comment On Sounds

[xnomad]

I love how that one post about the game being 50% done has brought out the hope of the placeholder in almost every post.

If something isn't to someone's liking they now pin their hopes on it being a placeholder. I really can't understand why people hate the sound, I reckon it sounds better than IL2.

When I first saw the you tube videos, before the release, I thought the guns sounded awful, but in the game with headphones on I don't find them bad at all. Yes there are sounds missing there should be clunking sounds from the guns themselves especially the MG17s as they are close to the cockpit and I've read accounts of pilots hearing them. Also the wind is missing and the engines should sound different in dives and climbs but other than that I'd rather have the AI improved and the radios fixed.

Oh yeah when people mention the sound mods for 1946, I always reverted to stock sounds as the modded sound was awful. There was this strange recurring cockpit noise that just sounded off.
