Gun sounds and effects for the fighters

[BetterDeadThanRed]

In my opinion, the sounds and effects for the fighters need a little bit of work. I've compiled a few videos to show what I mean.

I know, this is a Su-34, but it uses the same gun as the Mig-29, the GSh-30-1. Notice how much flame is visible and the bass-y thumping noise the gun creates.

This video shows the same gun firing in real time on a Mig-29 (the jet type is irrelevant really). The sound is distorted due to the hanger and mic being overloaded, but notice the flame shooting out of that beast. The ROF seems to be comparable to what is currently in game.

This was the best quality vid I could get for the M61A2 on the F-16, to put it in perspective there is a video of an A-10 below. The ROF seems much faster than what is currently in game, although I do not know if it is possible to increase it much more.

A-10

It's basically the same sound, except the M61A2 seems a lot more high pitched. My thought is that maybe the GAU-8 sound could be somehow modified to be higher pitched.


And I couldn't help but laugh when I read this comment on one of the videos:

ummm no a-10s are flown by USAF and repaired by Army. know what your saying before you say it dude.

the A10 and F16 videos are not too bad to use as a reference but that MIG29 video is terrible for sound, like you said. Any weapon that's being filmed from up close is not a good sound reference in any way.

The only videos that should be used for an audio reference is when they're being filmed from far away at a volume that the video cameras microphone and youtube can portray. Even then, that's only a reference to what it would sound like far away which is completely different but relevant to 0.7
