Dive Siren?

Does the Ju 87 Stuka have a nice loud dive siren?? I have tried to see if i can hear them in the demo and I cant, come to think of it I dont think I have actually seen them dive :{ Seen them only level bomb.

They dive, but not very steep.

And we need a cockpit before we worry about the siren.

Don't worry too much.

LOL i dunno, i think it wont be too bad playing multi on external view for a while. Just hope the siren is better than the pc version of the previous games!

no, stukas had a wind driven siren. early psychological warfare. you may have heard it before, because its been incorrectly used as the "plane diving out of control/about to crash" sound effect in movies for years.

After the enemy became used to it, they were to be withdrawn. The devices also caused a loss of some 20-25 km/h (10-20 mph) through drag. Instead some bombs were fitted with whistles installed on the fin of the bomb to produce the noise after release.[33]

Shameless copy'n'paste from wikipedia's ju87 page

I swear I've heard a JU-87 make its trademark scream. It was the telltale sound that made me look over to my right and see him diving on the port.

Could have been another plane in a fast dive though.

Yep they are right, My father used to have an LP record called Aircraft At War and it have various aircraft fly pasts etc, but there was also a section with a Stuka dive bomb attack recorded from the ground so you could hear the sirens. Chilling stuff.

Not sure how to post link so hope this works, the first sounds like an original recording, the second like its from the film Battle of Britain even though it says its original its not
