Default Re: The sound of the MG 34

Hi BK,

The main sound for the MG34 is probably 55.wav
I believe the main sound for the MG42 is 54.wav

I agree that 'Cross Sounds 1.0' 162.wav is probably a better MG34 than the current Cross Sounds 55.wav

I'm going to swap/rename those two sounds in my sounds folder; and if it works out I'll make that an update for CS 1.1

I think the current CS 54.wav is a good MG42

When trying to match sounds to weapons in SP, you can run into quite a few problems.
Usually, the sound is used by quite a few different weapons.
Sometimes a weapon will shoot one burst then, two bursts, so those sounds must match.

A weapon may also use several different sounds; so a Bren with one unit may sound like a Bren, but when another unit uses the Bren it sounds like a Vickers. If you change the Vickers sound to sound like a Bren, then your Vickers will now sound like a Bren.

Matching weapons and sounds, with so many nations and OOB, is near impossible. You want to make sure the sound is mostly right for where it's mainly used.

My philsophy has been to stay close to the orignal sounds, but improve the quality.

But I think I would like to fiddle with the Sten/Bren/Vickers sounds when I get the chance.

cheers,
Cross
