Some bombs had a whistle on them which made the "oooooowwww" sound literally only to scare people on the ground. So it was real. Just like how WWIl planes were designed to be as loud as possible to scare your enemies on the ground.

[@Omnihil777]

@Maestro_ Dany Seen an interesting video about it, "Military Aviation Visualized" or something. The Sirens on the Stukas actually made the pilots more mad than they made the targeted ground personal.

[@SirMike02]

@@Omnihil777 yup, the problem with the Jericho sirens was that they would sound even at regular cruising speed. So the pilots had to listen to it the entire way to their target, which would drive them nuts.

[@the_dude_mann8318]

The reason for the horns on stukas was because the pilot was to focused on ground targets and aiming to keep track of airspeed as well in the dive.. the pitch of the horns was basically an air speed indicator for the pilot.

[@owentucker2256]

@@SirMike02 sorry, that’s not true. The siren only activated when the dive brakes were extended, so if you heard it while ‘cruising to target’ then you had much more immediate problems to worry about (like a probable imminent stall) than the sound itself. Whoever told you that was either making it up out of thin air or basing it on inaccurate computer games.

[@owentucker2256]

@@the_dude_mann8318 sorry, this isn’t true either. Come on, guys, stop just making s**t up. The pitch of the siren sound didn’t change appreciably without substantial changes in airspeed so it was not useful as an airspeed indicator in any meaningful sense. Also every pilot of every aeroplane had to monitor airspeed while diving on a target; Stuka pilots were just as capable of that as any other pilot and so didn’t need a weird siren indicator to help them. Also, if you think Stuka pilots were so stupidly transfixed on their targets that they couldn’t stop staring through the windshield, consider that the indicator of the angle of their dive was on a side panel of the cockpit canopy...

Hi Phly, Not all bombs whistle when dropped, only ones equipped with whistles. Bombs are made with whistles in order to strike fear into the enemy when dropped, but, in a case of a stealth attack, they are silent. They work as the bomb drops by allowing a small volume of air to pass through a chamber; pushing it out at high speeds and making a sound. Hope this helps!

[@foersterjunior]

Funfact which you asked for: yes bomb whistled due to their fins and the propellers on the backside to activate the timers. but that whisteling can not be heared from directly underneith. rule of thumb: if you could hear the bombs whislte, you were mostly safe.

I also tried using this recently in ground rb. I like taking heavy bombers for the memes, but the defensive armament and the 8 mine payload looked sick as hell. it quickly became apparent that the thing handles like a skyscraper, to the point where it is just straight hard to make any form of coarse correction to drop bombs accurately. ngl would rather fly a g5n. I also noticed the bombs are inaccurate as hell. They hit nowhere near where you drop, and not consistently either like a Catilina, just sprays them all over the place. overall, the thing is doo doo and is only good at bombing bases in air rb, and even then it cant outclimb the fighters, nor be evasive on the deck.

When the bomb is dropped from the airplane, the velocity of the bomb goes on increasing due to gravity until it reaches its terminal velocity. As the bomb approaches towards the ground, the pitch increases and thus the “kooouuuueeee” sound.

yes the website that that passage is from mentions thats for the bombs that actually had whistles on them to make sound. not all bombs did. I actually think they should remove all bomb sound effects from war thunder (unless they just add bomb variants with whistles for fun if you want) would give high altitude bombers a little more of a chance in ground RB rather then seeing all the tanks flee your bombing spot because they hear the bombs 3 miles up falling on them...

Phly, 3:50 so this actually has some historical value. No, not all bombs made that sound but many did partially for the scare factor. For example in ww2 the men who would resupply the aircraft with their bombs, ammunition, fuel, etc. would sometimes tape small whistles to the bombs in order to terrify the troops on the ground. Most bombs do not have this sound and the gaming and tv industry have led people to think all bombs do rather than just some.

Bombs in-and-of-themselves did not produce a whistling noise, however, there were "terror" bombs (not an official name) modified to produce the whistling whilst falling to induce fear in troops on the ground similarly to Jericho sirens on a Stuka dive-bomber. The whistle was popularised by cartoons, but was not as prevalent in standard bombs as most media would portray. In War Thunder they're used as a game mechanic obviously.

[@TurMukan]

5:59 - Phly " I'm your Dad ! " Also Phly : " Where's your bob at ? "

[@martimhenriques1169]

The bombs had whistles attached as a way of lowering enemy's morale by frightening them. The change in the pitch of the whistle sound is due to something called the Doppler effect, which is a change of frequency of the sound waves transmitted by a moving object in relation with the observer. The best example is the sound the sirens of an ambulance makes when it passes by. In similar situation, you and the bomb are in movement in relation with each other, so the sound waves change frequencies when the bombs are getting way or closer to you.

[@Masterafro999]

Gotta change your name to PHLYDADDY now😂👌

[@SLO-Ride]

I once asked my Dad, a Bombardier on B17's out of Snetterton UK, that same question; do the aerial bombs make the whistling sound as they drop. Dad said, some did, on account of their construction. The several pieces of flat aluminum or steel plates, welded into the fin assembly, created voids that would cause the 200mph terminal velocity winds to whistle through as they neared the target. But, there is no way anyone heard them whistle from inside the plane, being already deafened by the engines and gunfire and air rushing through all the open windows and gun ports. (He always smiled at movies, when the crew talked normally to each other). On the ground, you would only hear the last moments of the bombs falling anyway, and much of that would be the air being displaced, and not a prolonged scream from the heavens to the ground. The few I was close enough to take cover from in Iraq, the sound was just an increasingly loud rush of air turbulence a couple of seconds before the impact. Same with Artillery. There is no whistle as it falls. In fact, if you are receiving artillery fire, you would only know it because shit is blowing up. If it goes overhead, you hear kind of a "ripping" noise, as the air is displaced. But no Hollywood whistles.

The whistle is a little propeller on the front or back of the bomb which winds the fuse onto the explosive as the bomb falls. It means the bombs can be disarmed whilst they're in the bomb bay and only arm themselves after they're dropped which is a lot safer. Not all bombs had them but you'll get a whoosh of air going past them even if they don't have the little propeller, just not a distinct whistle.

The reason behind attaching whistles on bombs was to weaken the enemy morale & to scare people. It was another way of saying, “We are coming & you are going to die!“ The change in the pitch of sound was due to the Doppler effect. When the bomb is dropped from the airplane, the velocity of the bomb goes on increasing due to gravity until it reaches its terminal velocity.
