Quiet demise

Yes, I have the music turned down so it is background noise. I hear everything else. All noise is present in my games.

The first thing I did was to turn off the music, I hear all the sounds, in fact cruising at 200 feet, the sub creaks and groans so much, it sounds like it is falling apart!

One odd thing I have noticed however is that you can hear alarm bells going off on surface ships which are very close, it is a bit faint but audible.

My not be to odd that you can hear the alarm bells of close passing ships. Water can carry that sound if I'm not mistaken.

Anyone:hmm:

Actually water is an excellent transmitter of sound. Faster indeed than air.

But that speed comes at a cost.. diminishing energy.

As to there being no "warning" marks on the depth gauges I could be totally wrong but I belive it was done from a psychological viewpoint "ohhh look were in the red !".

You can bet your bottom dollar that nearly every single sailor on that boat knew its crush depth.

I have the music off. The crew were silent until I got the sound pack noted in this forum (nice diesle sounds, I didn't want to use the ones from SH3 cause german engines sound completly different from the american over under alco engine.) What settings did you fiddle with to get the sounds. I have all the creaking, engine, water sounds and such, but no Bad noises such as bolts popping, and lines breaking and leaking.

any help offers?
