#1: [RELEASED] Rolling Thunder voice and sound mod Author: Bendit, Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2019 8:45 pm — This mod transforms the sterile soundscape of PitF into a living battlefield, replacing weapon and voice effects.
Most of the samples came from VetBoB for CC4 by TT, "the heaviest, loudest, meanest, dirtiest sound mod around." The weapons and explosions have a lot more bass and reverb, along with many ancillary effects like the tinkle of shell casings falling to the ground. You'll also hear a lot of new calls, cries and curses of soldiers under fire. (There is a small amount of profanity to be heard in this mod.)
I adapted the sounds and voices for PitF. Most of the voice samples were remixed to reduce repetition and distortion, as PitF seems to play more sounds simultaneously than earlier Close Combat games. The contextual shouts were remixed to better match the context of other voices. I also remixed some of the automatic weapons to better reflect the burst length of weapons in PitF. Going beyond VetBoB I added new samples for the MP40 (after listening to 50 different MP40 recordings), the Browning .30 cals, and others.

Be sure to check out the mod which inspired this one! 'FreeKing's Small Maps mod', released August 2019, thoughtfully rethinks PitF map sizes and reworks victory location placement to mimic CC2, making the AI much more enjoyable. His mod transformed PitF for me from worst in the series to best in the series. I wouldn't play without it.
You might also like my 'Thinner Fog mod' to reduce the obscuring visual effect of fog in PitF, without removing it completely.

One question: it is possible to use this mod with Gateway to Caen?

To answer your question... This mod wouldn't be compatible with GtC. The German weapon and voice samples wouldn't take too long to adapt to GtC though. If anyone knows of any good sources for British weapon and voice samples to make a similar mod for GtC, feel free to share.

(where is that mod for CC5 anyway, or is it integrated now in the VetBOB mod itself? It used to be separate). Makes the game extra extra enjoyable. Looking forward, thanks so much!
