Same sounds as sh3

In that movie I noticed a lot of the same sounds as sh3

and the smoke blew away at 100 mph on a flat calm

but that can be fixed explosions looked good :hmm: and sea bottom cool :hmm: crew looked excellent!

ships detail was excellent

Definitely a lot of recycled sounds there. Considering SH4 is a stand-alone full release and not being sold as an expansion to SH3, I'm surprised at the reclaiming of SH3's old sounds. To be fair though, that in-game clip was from a beta build, so hopefully Pacific theatre and US sub appropriate sounds made it into the final build (though based on Ubi's track record, I'm not holding my breath).

Let's give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully we're in for a pleasant surprise.

I noticed the fast smoke too. And why the heck did the USN buy the diesels in Germany, they sound just like the uboat ones in SHIII

Yeah i am kinda worried now.. concidering the Dev team said there was still lots to do after it went gold

It seems an awful lot of sounds have been reused, from the torp launch to the hatch closing when diving

I also thought that first when I saw the video, but then I remembered that it was a purpose built video, edited with added music and such. May be the sound capture was not good enough (Or even inexistent to save memory...also does FRAPS capture sound???) and the sounds were added later...

Anyway sounds were external sound files -uncoded- in SH3 and I suppose they still are in SH4 so it will be some of the easiest to mod.

Edited to add: That riiiiiiiiiiiiiing from the bell comes surely from SH3, I think that in US boats it was a claxon that sounded several times, not a continuous "ring". Probably that all comes from SH3 and was added to the video....

Why would an American hatch make a different noise than a German one? Why should a torpedo launch from an US sub sound different than a torpedo launch from a German sub?

Indeed.

Technically, the germans put a piston head behind the torpedo, this limiting the problem of air escaping from the tube but also making the reload much more difficult.

So I suppose that when the piston head hits the end of the tube, you might get a different sound vs the US subs.
