Bonus Sound Effects

The original howitzers shots have a sharp, forceful attack paired with a rolling boom. For those that like their artillery with a bit less punch, the package includes a version of the 70 single shots treated to convey a softer attack.

The Battlefield Howitzers sound library also includes a spec sheet with details about the weapons, how they were recorded, as well as multiple photos.
