Eden Smallwood Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Is it modelled that tanks, (or any vehicle, I suppose), make less noise, and are therefore less detected, when moving on grass as opposed to road? Similarly, are they less detected, (assuming out of LOS, duh), when Moving as opposed to Fast? Eden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Manuel Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 The tank's movement speed definitely affects how well your enemy might hear it approaching. Dunno bout roads vs. off-road re: sound. I wonder if they earlier 'steel roadwheel' T-34's will make much more sound than the later model (43 i think) rubber-wheeled versions. I remember reading a tanker's memoir, and he said that a Pz III could get w/i a few hundred meters or something, but a T-34 w/ steel wheels could be heard "kilometers away." I know, they're just memoirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Don't forget engine noise. That too varies with speed and I bet the Soviet diesels were noisy as hell. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
