New Sound Wish List.

There is no need for that in the first place, why do I need the voice file when the threads alone give me the  distinct sound of a T-34?
And I'd say anybody not being 'irritated' by hearing a voice saying "T-34/85" instead of a gunshot woouldnt be irritated by threads 'whispering' it's name too

And of course, I wouldn't also be necessary to replace different gun sounds with a voice file. Having different sounds alone is sufficient and already this "gamey" in this context.

imagine going on a gv mission with "t34-85" playing over and over.  wouldnt that be fun?  or instead of your own engine sound you hear "panzer".....for 10 minutes.  that would be so annoying that few people would actually do it.

The point is we would like for combat sounds to sound like combat sounds instead of every tank sounding like the tank we are in. Personally I dont care if its a Panzer or Panther but I would like the gun to sound like the real thing. One of the greatest comments by my squadmates is how changing the bombs, tank engines and aircraft gun and engine sounds to the sounds of the real thing is that the battlefield changes into something that more closely resembles combat sounds.

I would like to add that I would like for there to be different sounds for HE and AP rounds too but its just a small thing really. Troops marching sounds would be great. I hate how the little guys can march right past you and you never hear them.

Evenly more important, Hitech seems to be onboard with the concept!   

Agreed, first step is to get Hi Tech interested, and it seems he is! Next step is for someone to furnish him the equipment or soft-ware to make it happen!

I doubt that WWII-era tank commanders could hear much except the engine (usually on) and what's coming in over his radio headset.  I re-read "Caen Anvil of Victory" a few weeks ago, and it contained a statement to this effect.  If we have any ex-armor types on the boards, perhaps they could comment.

agree with challenge.  the sounds are some of the important parts of the games.  some arent that important as the wheels hitting the pavement but some are very important like the stall buzzer or the flaps sound and the most important of all the stress sound. specially in a 262 when you point your nose down.  it sounds so pretty i almost always crash being mesmerized by it.

More sounds make a game more cool.

I heard someone say that scout planes (Storchbergers, J3's) would turn off their engine midflight to listen for tanks moving. so if they could do that, then I'm sure if a tanks engine is off then and the hatch is open, other tanks could be heard.

Now I've never heard any WWII tank engine, but Ive been near M1 Abrams tanks plently of times. you can hear those suckers a way out, even with fully automatic fire 10 yards from you.

If the tanks engine is off other tanks can already be heard from at least 4+k away.

Don't get me wrong; I have no problem with turning off the engine to hear other tanks in-game.  I just doubt that it is very historical, based on what I've read, and was in part commenting on one poster's desire to "hear" infantry from his tank. 

But what the heck; this is a game, right?
