I can't play the game right now, so I can't hear it in-game, but if the video is accurate then it sounds great - especially the engine, electric and periscope.

The water bubbling outside is way too loud though. I'm not sure it should be there at all.

My reaction was exactly the same as Sailor Steve's -- everything sounds great except for the bubbling. I've spent a lot of time underwater and never, ever heard any 'bubbling' or other sea-induced sound, other than wave crash when on the surface.

The bubbling is a immersion-killer for me, wish you'd produce a version without it.

:arrgh!:

sea water sloshing around between hulls and outside ocean currents slamming the hull you can here it, i was in the uss growler, even in port and i could even hear it, that was a more modern sub as well , compared to ww2 coffin clunkers

old ww2 boats not as silent as more modern boats. , also hear the water effects in das boot.

captainspaulding 03-07-10 07:00 PM

thx capthelm for your great mod !!! :woot:

capthelm 03-07-10 07:08 PM

thx..mind and turn the volume up :yeah:

karamazovnew 03-07-10 07:19 PM

amazing :salute:

Baleur 03-07-10 08:11 PM

WOW! You can actually hear, like.. STUFF inside the sub now! Superb job :)

Kilgore87 03-07-10 09:03 PM

Sounds good, downloading now. Thanks!

As I said, yes, on the surface, you can hear sounds of the sea. But not when submerged. Then the ballast tanks and the space between the hulls are completely waterfilled, no room for 'sloshing'.

Just watched the youtube preview movie for your sound package. I'm very much impressed, superb work. Oustanding improvement!

Thanks a lot :yeah:

sloshing from outside , ocean sea waters hitting against the hull as well.
boats not sound proof from outside elements .
also air bubbles from hull going to surface,steel amplifies the outside elements ..

modern subs this has been addressed to a degree , hull coatings and sound proof panels installed rubber shock absorb mounted motors etc.

again if you dont like the audio mod simply dont use it..

thx glad you like it enjoy the realism.

Gotmilk 03-08-10 04:15 AM

wow thanks a lot. This will certainly add immersion to the game.

kapitan_zur_see 03-08-10 05:38 AM

nice ambient work :up:

I wish the crew voices outside didnt sound like they were in a recording studio.. Do you have some friends that speak German so you can you fix these?

sadly only one set of audio works for the uboat, no internal or external voices ..can be done.
also take into account performace issues , 2 sets of the same voices.

only HD eax audio trickery could do this i think. thats all code for the dev team ..building a new audio engine.

....not going to happen.

voices imo are great and a lot better compared to the last sh3 sh4 series.

awesome sound mod. +1

i only keep a few stock sounds namely the blur for the cinematic feeling. XD and the P02_$ stock sound cause i like the pinging sound. i left out the diesel exterior cause i felt like my brain was being scrambled when i was out on top. but am liking the rest alot.

and for the underwater "bubbling" sound mentioned. you can still hear it on relatively modern subs. can hear it on the USS Toledo depending on how fast you were going. if you were going relatively fast when submerged you can hear it. but if you are going slow you cant hear it. dunno about the seawolfs or virginias. assuming it would be a similar occurrence with those 2 being considerably larger.

think how it must have been in real life for uboat crews onboard. :o noise levels.

VIIC engine specs

Propulsion:2 × supercharged Germaniawerft, 6-
cylinder, 4-stroke M6V 40/46 diesels
totalling 2,800–3,200 hp (2,100–
2,400 kW). Max rpm: 470-490[1]

submerged BBC GG UB 720/8 electric motors giving a total of 750 hp
(560 kW) at 322 rpm


btw little tip if you close the compartment doors youll reduce noise levels just like real life, find this a nice touch of realistic simulation in SH5 :rock:

yah no kidding. all that noise and no ear muffs. no wonder going deaf was way more common.:o

and aye i noticed that too. when i was exploring the sub closing doors to isolate sounds and whatnot. very cool. :up:

Only trying to suggest an improvement. I guess I don't know what I'm talking about.
