Title: Just an FYI: German 30mm Sound File
Post by: SmokinLoon on October 06, 2013, 11:35:46 AM

I heard this issue come up on range vox yesterday, so I thought I'd post it here just so everyone is aware:

For those of you who use the German 30mm Mk 108 cannon in the 109K-4, 109G-14, 190A-8, Bf110G-2, Ta152, etc, I'm sure you've noted that the actual rate of fire does not match the default sound file.  The default sound file is about half of the actual rate of fire, I do believe.  Back in February of this year I put in a request in the sounds forum for someone  to create a proper rate of fire sound file to use for the German Mk 108 30mm.  Mr. "potsNpans" came through with a splendid file and it works perfectly.  I believe it just sped up the current file to match the actual rate of fire.  Now, when I fire the 30mm the diminishing round count matches the rate of fire (650 rds/min).  :aok

I just wanted everyone to be aware that a correct sound file is available for the German 30mm.  Just download the file then put it directly in to the sounds folder.  Easy. http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,345284.0.html

Also, FWIW, the Me410 has a pair of 30mm cannons as well.  However, these cannons (Mk 103) fire the far flatter shooting 30x184mm cartridges, with a slightly slower rate of fire (380-420 rpm).  potsNpans made a correct file for that too, the link is in the same thread.

Woooowho! Now I can not only see but HEAR the taters I am wasting as I make my (usually fruitless) attempts to hit anything with the Mk 108.

Yay me.   :uhoh
