Unsynchronized gun sounds.


Recommended Posts

Posted

After remembering a comment made on gun sounds in another aviation "sim" I used to play, I'd like to suggest an addition to the new gun sounds, as inconsequential as it may be.  While synchronized guns fired at a very predictable rpm, wing guns on many aircraft were not synchronized.  This led to the guns of an aircraft like the P-40 or P-51 sounding less like a crisp "RA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA" and more like ripping a really loud sheet of paper, after a few seconds of firing.

 

Though bursts longer than about half a second are not in this clip, I'm fairly certain I can still make out some asynchronous fire:

 

 

This thread on ww2aircraft.net also covers a lot of what I'm getting at: https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/a-wing-mounted-gun-synchronization.45480/

 

There must be more on this topic out there, but it is difficult to find information regarding it.

It does sound chaotic the sound I see where they get the ripping paper effect..
