The shockwave travels faster than the normal speed of sound. So you wouldn't hear anything from the explosion until the shockwave reaches you.

Nice, big part missing was the millions of degrees of heat that is generated. It’s a big component as it sets fire to just about everything for miles

[leodefine]

The only mistake is that there would be a little delay on the sound, first you would see the flash light then a few seconds later you hear the blast.

The sound wave was not the best sound experience but the graphics look great.

The sound came in way too early. If we accept that the shock wave comes at 300m/s and the distance is 10km it would take a looot of time till the first bang comes in.

For real though this is probably the best in-game rendered nuclear explosion I’ve seen. The bright flash, the pressure wave expanding into the atmosphere, the shockwave, the glow of the mushroom cloud and the way it stretches. Very nicely animated.

I liked the Geiger counter addition, reminds us that the biggest killer of a nuclear bomb is the unseen radioactivity.

Освещение полей должно измениться, деревья должны начать отбрасывать тени.
Звук приходит после ударной волны, а не сразу.
За ударной волной должны подниматься облачка пыли.
После УВ должно тряхнуть камеру.

[udhi_gn]

If I was the sound designer, I'd simply fix the timing by putting an approx. 25 second of empty waveform (silence) before the explosion sound in the .wav file to make it sounds realistically accurate



EDIT: nevermind. It only works at a fixed distance. Should be done in the script/coding or post processing instead.

Som da explosão chegando ao mesmo tempo que a luz, aí não dá

[ziyugi]

We are close to see a real one in future

[mathewheaviside]

I like how you can hear it before the shockwave reaches you

[gp]

Звук взрыва должен запаздывать, треск счётчика гейгера должен сразу уходить в пик.

[kenton]

lot of nuclear bomb experts in the comments

[Samtober.]

Bruh I saw this on my recommendation list and I thought it was happening

[Uaarkson]

That is easily the most convincing mushroom cloud I’ve ever seen in a game.

[peekiethedogpeekie]

No double flash, no Wilson rings... lacks the gravitas of the original

[comatose_e]

the condensation wave is slower than the bomb blast because it appears when the atmosphere pressure falls under one point over the gas water at that temperature converts to liquid water (pressure has directly relation with the temperature)

Who watching This after Russia invades Ukraine? 😐😐
