Stuka sound with bk3,7 and hit effect

[Mikey]

-I think all the higher caliber weapons should be much louder than they are and maybe even add improved particle effect for shell impacts.

-il2, lag3,and stuka with large caliber cannon modification.

 

-this video shows they are deafeningly loud

The Stuka's cannons are mounted pretty far away from the pilot, though they oculd use some adjustments indeed.

 

The Wochenschau video you posted isn't a suffecient proof though as WW2 gun camaras couldn't record sound, which is why they added later on artificially. It's nothing to go along with.

Yea i was wondering about that was not sure if they had microphones... now the hit effects those would look wicked if they could get them to look like that video

You do realize that almost all WWII footage was made without sound.  They added sound in the editing room.  It is a German propaganda film, I'm sure they wanted to make the cannons sound very impressive.

The 3,7cm BK was a deafening gun. All 30mm+ cannons are (stood close to a Gepard firing its twin 35mm cannons, sadly we feel so safe in our country we sold those pieces off to the former east bloc).

 

Although the sounds in WW2 propaganda movies were post-edited, they are genuine. There was no SFX department that mixed some Hollywood sounds on their Laptops. The sounds are most likely from a ground fire test or the FlaK variant in a ground pounder role, as you can hear the impacts (the second loud noise in the OPs video). Might also be from a submarine shooting at sea (practise) targets, because the splash sounds like water impacts.

 

Inside the cockpit you would not really hear the full sound, you would hear the mechanics work and probably the wing squeak from the recoil force.

 

That being said, the sound in BoS is poor and wrong. It sounds like 2 shots because of some high volume mechanical noise after each shot. Both cannons fired simultaneously, it should be one single blast and then silence.
