sound contact question

[CMplayer]

I've just started using version 1.1 and

twice I've noticed something strange.

I spot a generic gun marker, but if

i click on it, the information window

says 'infantry sounds'. It continues

calling it 'infantry sounds' even after

I watch the generic gun marker belch fire

and see a round explode near my running

infantry.

Is the game supposed to behave this way?

Yes, it is. If the sound contact is a gun, that means that your troops can hear a gun around there somewhere, usually within 50m of the marker. However, it could be a hull down tank, a heavy mortar, yesterday's can of beans, or anything else that sounds like a gun firing.

But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.

And pray my body will be found, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing.

Okay, but then why does the information

window call it 'infantry sounds'. I thought

that that term was used for the sound

of small-arms fire. BTW it turned out to

be a 20 mm flak, which (in the game anyway)

has a very distinctive sound. You can

hardly mistake it for yesterday's beans.
