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After the enemy became used to it, they were to be withdrawn.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]
