I understand that a mod like this isn't for everybody. I tend to play my game on low TC, never more then X64 until I'm heading home with no torpedos or shells left. This means that there are long periods between attacks on ships (using the integrated orders mod, I go to the captains bunk, read a book, drink coffee and let the crew take care of things), so I don't get to hear the cheering repeated at short intervals, perhaps if I did I would feel very different about it.

The way I feel about is, that given the unbelievable tension and stress that combat uboat crews must have lived under for long periods and the fact that a torpedo has ripped into and exploded inside a target, which is now sinking, possibly breaking up with probable secondary explosions going off. A few seconds of jubilation would be an entirely natural and healthy response. One which a Kaleun, I believe, would allow for the sake of morale while obviously ensuring that it didn't get out of hand. With the kind of noise that an exploding and sinking ship would make, a few seconds of cheering would not IMO put the uboat in any additional danger.

It is at times like these that I curse my lack of German. Having to depend of sound files trawled from the internet is not the prefered option. The sound files I used were the most suitable I could find, and believe me it is not easy to find sounds this specific. If anyone wants to volunteer to record some cheering and maybe German expressions, I will be making further versions of this mod, trying to refine and improve it and would include as many decent recording as possible. I know I'll never please everybody, especially you bunch (Joke) :D

Yeah, i know what you mean about hard to find, cause right now i'm working on something to a Mod i'm working on to SHIII and the obviouse place to look around is around the Web, just sometimes sounds for example you can find on Music stores sound efects compilations, i misellf both one ages ago for a job i was working on, those sound efects are used for variouse mixing porpuses, and maybe i can chek out some friends of mine from that time just to ask about some recordings that they've got!

I'll tell you something latter on! :up:

Re: Karle's German Cheering Mod Ver1.0
 

Hello bud, just to help you i've been searching and talking to some friendes of mine and tomorrow will have some sites with free wave sond efects for you....but...

Hope this is at least a start for helping you, tomorrow will give you some other with speatch sound waves in all diferent languages....and frases... :up: :rock: :rock:

Regardless if the enemy knows that a U-boat is around because of another ship being struck by a torpedo does not mean they know exactly where the torpedo came from. But when a crew cheers and screams out loud "YEY" or "YAY' or YEE-HAWL" you can bet that - that would help an enemy DD find the U-boat that launched the torpedo. Makes me want to strangle the screamer. IF he wants to cheer and dance around he can save that for times when we are not engaging the enemy and the coast is clear and when I don't have silent running ordered.

Some have to much clatch, in my opinion. But besides it`s not that bad...

The acoustics in the water following an explosive detonation are ruined... not for seconds... but for MINUTES after such an event.

Theoretically whether the crew cheered or not following a torpedo detonation would be quite unlikely to cause any problems relative to detection.

You can sure bet that there was occasionally screaming when U-Boats were being depth-charged... and the same acoustic principles apply.

These concepts would be especially true the closer the boat is to the point of impact.

So for all of you who LIKE to hear a happy crew... enable those cheers, make them sound like whatever you want and feel good about it! It is certainly plausible.

Realism debates aside, this mod is a thousand times better than the 'stock' cheer files. Pardon the huge bump but I just wanted to say thank you to KptnLt Eric Karle. Nice job mate, appreciate it! :up:

Thanks Fish In The Water, I'm glad you like it and thanks for taking the trouble of looking for this old thread I appreciate it mate

KptnLt Eric Karle,

I wanted to download your Karle's Sept39-Aug40 Radio Mod but it is the same file as your Karle's Enigma Codebook (Flash). Are you aware of this?

Oops, sorry about that mate I will sort it out and let you know when it's fixed:oops:

EDIT: OK Link in my signature now points to the correct file, Thanks to Victor Schutze for pointing out my mistake

Downloading now! Thank you for your mod mate!:salute::woot:

Your very welcome, hope you like it :up:
