Ned Loe Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Proposition to create unique realistic sounds for each cannon type and size. For example, in potbs everyone could recognize 18lbs and 9lbs by their sound. I understand it was different, but it was cool to hear different cannons fire and create that melody. It could be very useful in battle. We can always use telescope, but it will not tell us what guns enemy is hiding on their ship. What do you think? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsafer Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I feel the larger cannons on the Bellona, the 32lbers get muffled out by the 24s and 12s, Also the 24s sound a lot like the 12s to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvenski Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'm all for that idea. Good audio is always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraVires Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 at first I thought "good idea!" and then I thought... "hey... from a distance... all cannons kinda sound the same.." So... I'm actually not sure how I feel about this Idea... Maybe if I had some evidence that different sized cannons actually sound different when fired.

Crankey Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 A mariner of the day, could tell the difference in calibre even out of sight. Cannon did indeed have different sounds, the variation easily comparible to the depth of tone of different sized church bells. there must be archive sounds somewhere from film or real life test firing etc that could be utilised.
