General Jack Ripper Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 See title. I never did notice one way or the other, but anyone who is familiar with the game engine might know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I doubt it but I'd bet there's a little randomness thrown in to the calculation to determine if a sound is heard or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 If a Panzer IV has squeaky tracks in the middle of a forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Yes it does, the crew can still hear it... Thanks guys, I was reading the FM 3-21.8 for the next part of the TTP videos and it kept specifying to pass downwind of danger areas on a march. They mention the idea of guard dogs, and I know wind tends to carry sound, but I was just trying to figure out any in-game reason to keep to that rule. Apparently there isn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if there are any smokers in your unit, and usually there are at least two or three out of every five. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Yeah, I think regarding dogs it is more the sense of smell. Odors are gonna carry regardless of how stealthily one is trying to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz +1 on that, my old coonhound is so nearsighted now that I wonder how he can walk in a straight line, but he can still trail everything that went through the yard the previous night by scent alone, and show me every spot they even paused for a moment. My shepherd/rottie mix can't do it, but he can tell me by sight and hearing if one of my neighbors is sitting on their porch on the other side of the woods. Between the two, nothing even comes near my place that I don't know about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much is going to slip past their attention and ALERT to owner when you are busy doing chores. Buzz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
