It seems that they removed the bow crash sound from SH4 and SH5,though I think its modded back into SH5.The wav file "Val de prova Submarin.wav" is not used anymore.I tweaked it to ridicuulously loud levels and I never heard it.This is the sound you heard when the bow came crashing down thru a wave and really added immersion to the game.Why they removed such an immersion boosting detail is beyond me.Boggles me the same as when they removed the excellent weapon sway when running in Stalker SHoC for the newer games in the series.
That said you still have the "Vapor Siaj.wav".This is the constant boat flowing thru the water sound.I went and raised the volume on it and its a big improvement.Just tweak it not too high and not to low and it adds a good deal by blending in better.I tried adding in the "surfacing" sound renamed as Vapor Siaj.wav and it sounds awesome...like the boat is crashing thru the waves.The only problem is that its repetitive and the brain notices right away.I tried cutting off the ends and tapering down and back up the volume which just adds to the repetitive feel of it.If some one could make a really good sound for this then the lack of actual bow crash sound could be overlooked.
EDIT---does anyone know why alot of good mods from past seems to disappear.Most of the mods I want to add in link to blank pages saying files have been removed.For example is one that made the water that pours out the small holes up and down the sub look very realistic........now gone.Here is a video showing SH3 with some tweaks that make it look soo realistic....also has the excellent bow crash adding its charm.
