accurate electric engine sound?
 
The noise from the electric engines is much quieter in GW, both inside and out, than the vanilla version. It this a more accurate representation of actual electric engines sounds?

Wish I had an answer for you. All I can say is that I would think electric engines would be very quiet. I've heard big electic motors run before (not as big as a U-boat's, I'm sure) and all they do is hum. Noticably, yes, but hardly loud.

I think its more accurate, they should be quiet when your inside all i hear is a low hum. If your playing with external view on, switch to external view when submerge and your notice they still are pretty loud - just not internally.

IMHO the electric engines are fine.... I just played GW 1.1 for the first time today, and on my first test dive in my VIIC I thought those were the Bilge pumps swishing away.

But it sees to me that the diesel engine sounds are a bit low.... I can hear that bloody "tick, tick, tick" of the clock by me over the engines.... do I have a setting wrong or something?

I have a mate that served on the Royal Navy Oberon class and he reckons the sound levels are just about right. :yep:

As for the "tick, tick, tick" sound...download the 'vodkas quiet' mod from UBRS :up:

The sounds in GW are right. You can't hear the main motors unless you are actually in the motor room, and even then you barely hear them.
