Cliffs of dover vids go here

Even that leaked video from the 'beta' tester a month ago, I wanted to slap him and take the stick off him he couldn't shoot for sh1t.

I agree the gun sounds aren't the best and some of the external sounds too, but I thought the bf110 sounded alright. It does concern me that all action is over the water though.

Haha those were my first thoughts too. I am awful at defensive manuavering, but pride myself on accuracy, and watching someone fail so miserably at lining up a decent shot pisses me off so much!

I don't get the crap sounds though(let's be honest here, they are) and why the guns sound like a bongo drum. Hell, Jafaems soundpacks for IL-2 are loads better than the sounds we hear from Greifs vid. Thanks for posting Greif!

Is there a sound setting in game that enables less resource intensive sounds? Sounds are too important for me to ignore, so when I get the game and if it sounds like this, I'll shelve CoD:IL-2 and wait until a sound patch/third party sound pack is out.

I've never flown inside or outside any of these aircraft, and certainly never fired any of their munitions from inside or outside of their cockpits. I've heard some of these planes do start ups and flybys, and as far as I can tell from my limited experience they are fine.

If your experiences differ from mine I'll hold you in higher regard, but the devs did the best they could with the resources at hand, and it seems to me they've done a magnificent job.

Bah, my mistake. I somehow got the idea that Greif's vid was his own, from actual gameplay of the released game. lol

I don't mind the sounds, the guns sound about right from the inside .. . well about as right as I would expect them to sound being inside a vibrating tin can. The vibrations of those guns are sure to cause the metal and structure around it to muffle and distort the sounds to something sounding more like a grumble than a 20mm cannon.

Sound mods will have a go no doubt and be able to tweak anything people dont' like it.
