Explosion delay a bit long
« on: September 07, 2016, 09:54:07 PM »
Is it just me or does the delay in the sound of explosions from the time of impact or plane exploding seem to be off or excessively delayed a tad on the long side regardless of distance or orientation of the event in question.

Example. I see a plane explode in flight at 5.0
And its
Event-----------------------------BOOM
                                                       
I see a plane explode at 1.0 where you would expect to hear the explosion almost instantaneous and its         
Event-----------------------------BOOM

I am noticing the same thing with ground explosions

Perhaps some tweaking?

Every time I count it off it seems to me the delays are right for about 1100 feet per second.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Keep in mind the relative motion between you and the point of the explosion could change the delay substantially - from about 3 seconds to 2 seconds at 1k for something you're chasing at 300 mph. I don't know if the game models this, though.
