Title: Incoming or Outgoing 8" & 5" shell sounds
Post by: spoonseven on December 18, 2009, 06:59:26 PM: When using the fleet or shore battery 8" or 5" guns, wouldn't it be nice to hear that crackling type of incoming or outgoing sounds as the shells fly overhead and land on the field from naval attack or if on the fleet, hearing the rounds come in and the sound of the splash.

Any thoughts?
and be nice with the smart remarks :D

Unless your at extremely long range you never hear the round coming, its supersonic until impact.

Post by: warphoenix on December 20, 2009, 08:25:29 AM: +1 awsome idea but 5" shells are typicly AA so the idea could only be applied to 8". some bombs have gone supersonic do to their fall rate and people on the ground can hear them coming at supersonic speed in front) its not just movie magic people

Post by: Chalenge on December 20, 2009, 01:49:16 PM: You have the option in the 5" guns to select AA or HE so it applies to them also.

Post by: Wagger on December 27, 2009, 05:06:39 PM: I can say I have heard 155mm rounds going overhead. I have also seen and heard the 155mm RAP (Rocket Assisted Projectile) rounds at night. Besides hearing the round is good. It means it went over and did not land on you.

Post by: gyrene81 on December 27, 2009, 05:18:34 PM: Yeah Wagger, but they didn't have the same sound as what you hear from hollyweird...and with the standard round I know you were within viewing distance of impact. :neener:
