MAsta_KFC Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Just a quick question, does CMBB have a turret rotation sound? Would it be possible to implement? Many times I've zoomed onto my Tiger's turret rotating (albeit very slowly) on some poor enemy soldier and felt that somehow something was *missing*. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanwag Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I agree, that would be cool! I just watched the movie 'Kelley's Heroes' (for the 1000th time) and the Tigers that get caught in the village at the end have some good turret sounds. Maybe they could sample them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I'm not sure a hand-cranked turret made much of a sound at all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Not unless the bearings were bad. I guess you could put little grunts and squeeks as the gunner cranks that sucker around. Even a powered turret doesn't make much noise, certainly not enough to warrent inclusion in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I always like the sound of the natives pulling the raft to shore at the Rorkes Drift river crossing in "Zulu". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Did you notice that they used the Zulu war song in "Gladiator?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-E Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 My turrets go brrrrr eeeeeeruk clunk, brrrrr eeeeeeruk clunk. (unless I switch the BMP's back to the original "clean" versions that shipped with the game). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I don't get no brrrrr eeeeeeruk clunk, brrrrr eeeeeeruk clunk??? Mine's more like whirrrrrr, pow-ting pow-ting, fssst, clank, whump whump, gurgle, pop! Wonder if German turret sounds are different than Russian?

SgtMuhammed Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Strange, my 41-42 turrets say NEE while my later war ones say ICKY ICKY ICKY PTANGO ZOOP POINK . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 This is odd. When I tried attacking a couple of KV-Is with some light Italian tanks, the only sound I heard from each of my turrets was a huge explosion. Must be a bug in the game or something. :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 You gotta watch those Italian tanks. If the crew used the cigarette lighter and the toaster oven at the same time they tended to brew up. Easy to forget and well modelled in CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubertracker Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Wasn't the turret crank on the KV series so large that it was placed on the outside? Crews had to open the hatch, jump out and turn this giant wheel the size of an oxcart wheel. It was geared to make turning the huge - and heavy - KV turret somewhat easier for the average tanker, but it took about 1,000 revolutions to turn the turret a mere 10 degrees. Working the wheel at 10 turns a minute meant the turner could move the turret 10 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. To reverse the turret direction, the turner had to bend under the wheel and bang a large lever hidden under the turret edge in order to reset the turret gear clutch. Later models had a seat bolted to the back to include an outboard turner who rode into battle and turned the turret in response to commands. The crew inside signalled to the outboard turner by a series of taps on the turret wall, banging first the direction, followed by the number of degrees to turn. The turner would execute the movement, then reply back by tapping on the turret when it was completed. This is simulated in CMBB, but not modelled in the images due to limitations in polygon display technology. So the turning KV turret and subsequent shot sounded something like this: Bang! Bang!... ... ... Bang bang bang...Tap tap tap tap...Bang!
