oh, col123, could you please explain which part of physics should change tracer ammo's behavior to NOT go laser-beam-like? And please, for goods sake, don't say anything that contains the word "wind"...

PROVE IT !

and while your at it, take your off topic questions elsewhere. thats a pathetic attempt at trying to say you know better and then derail the chat.

IIRC they said before they did not have budget to send all necessary people with all necessary equipment to UK to record samples of Merlin, DB and other engines. Therefore other samples were used.

If they have budget in future things may change but it depends on sales and on publisher (international one probably). Maybe it is better to ask this question at their site too.

I would rather count on 3rd party add-ons. CoD is open for 3rd party add-ons to compensate for limitations a small studio has compared to multinational gamedev giants.

Like I stated in my post, it would be nice to hear something from the developers. Maybe tomorrow?

Yep. They've got nothing better to do than reply to your post, yes?

Blimey, some people.

There have been about one hundred posts about the sound. Don't you think it would be nice to hear somthing official from Luthier. I do and it would appear a few others as well.

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.

'Douche'!! I like it! Obviously a man of profound wit.

If there has indeed been 'about one hundred posts about the sound', why on earth do you think we need another one?

The developers will develop the game as they should.

I have a feeling that they know more of what is required, and of that to which you refer, than you or I.

Actually, to derail the 'chat' was not my intention at first, but as you say it... yes, yes, yes, it would be my heart's desire to derail the 146236th thread about engine sound!
Absolutely no respect here for people who take absolutely no effort in reading up the other threads, where educated opinions have been given, yet seem to have a special keyboard shortcut for "alt+tab, go to Banana forums, 'new thread'" to blow off steam. And to annoy others by impairing the forum's readability.

Absolutely agree.
