The new .50 cal sound are awesome!

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Made a short video of it in use here: 

 

Another awesome change to the game

[Matt]

Sounds a bit better than before, but still too weak, high-pitched and artificial. But then weapon sounds are the biggest weakness for me regarding sound quality in BoS.

 

This is what they sound when on the ground (of course it's just a camera recording this, but you get the idea).

[Chuck_Owl]

Is it me or these new internal .50 cal sounds really remind me of stock mg sounds from Il-2 1946?

[Jade_Monkey]

It's been a fantastic update but this sound is the only thing I thought was better before.

 

Not a fan of the broken printer sound.

[Reflected]

It's an improvement over the old one, but still not there. I wish we had something like in Matt's video.

Yes, I agree

That was my exact first impression too. I hope it's a place holder.

[Original_Uwe]

That is not what an M2 sounds like.

I agree, cut/paste from 46.

That's external and as you said through a mic. Internal to a cockpit will sound WAY different, far more muffled. Sitting behind a M2 tripod sounds even louder so that Youtube video just doesn't sound right either. Of course sitting in an enclosed environment like a cockpit will muffle the sound as well. I know they aren't insulated cockpits, but the skin of the aircraft deflects sound waves, the engine will also wash them out tremendously and the headset for communications will further deaden the sound.

 

Find a youtube video of the engine running full speed, in cockpit, with a recording device next to the pilot's ear inside the headset and lets use that as evidence.

They aren't cut and paste from any other game.

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

DCS 1.5 got them pretty good now in my opinion, sounds powerfull and fearsome.

 

The current sound in BoS reminds me of old black-white movies with low bit sound effects.

That was my initial thought too.

Then compare it to the sound in BoM when you sit on the ground with engine off and canopy open. And I wasn't writing that this is what it should exactly sound like, but that it should sound closer to that imho. Less artificial and mechanical, more chemical.
