Scipio Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Okay, not really a CM topic How is said in Russian to open fire? You know, in German it's 'FEUER!' in English it's 'FIRE!...but in Russian? Огонь!??? [ July 15, 2003, 12:17 PM: Message edited by: Scipio ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill S. Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Yup, Ogon(Îãîíü)! I guess the convention is from the old times when cannons were shot with a torch igniting the powder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Ah, thanks! BTW, is there a sound file in CMBB were I can hear this? I remember a movie I have seen about Soviet artillery, and what the battery leader said sounded very different than it sounds when I (as German) say 'Ogon!'

White Phosphorus Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 You could also say pli пли. I think it was outdated by the time of WWII. If you want the wav number, do a search for my name on the CMBB forum, I posted a list of russian wavs while back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Yep, found the sounds. Ogon was the word I've heard in that movie. THX 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
