External Audio - P-38/P-39

To get this back on topic after I did some AA gunnery for my last stream:

It's definitely the case that most US planes in game are almost completely silent (especially compared to other planes) until they are less than 800meters away. I noticed that for the late Hawk and I think for the P-39 as well. As all axis pilots know, the P-38 is very hard to hear as well. All of which is most likely bogus. I don't think a prop flying by at 50 meters altitude, cranked by a turbocharged Allison V-1710 V12, emits less sound than a truck engine on the ground. Of course a ww2 plane can be considerably noisier than another one. Yet it is to doubt any of those reaches modern noice controll standards in a way, it's less noisy than a toy quadcopter.

It's tied to the model regardless of affiliation (so both French and US P-38 have this issue). It's also evident in being tied to the model in that the planes share a sound file with other aircraft such as the Spitfire and Hurricane series, yet only the P-38, P-39 and H-81 have the volume issue.

Yeah, by US planes, I meant planes built in the US. And I only shoot at allied planes, so I don't know if any axis planes are silent. I only know the 111 is definitely not silent at all

As all named planes share the same engine type irl (also with some differences), it might be connected with that. I don't know how those coning files work, what is detailed where, connected or shared and what is not.

No vehicle should hear anything when closed and engine running, kinda simple.

Even closed and engine off should hear not much, I'm thinking?

Agreed.

Correct - and that has nothing to do with this thread

Bump - sad to see this one still around. Video is a relatively hot AO, outside of the irritating Axis HT engine bug, check out this P38 that you can just barely hear as it flies overhead.
