I guess I'm a victim of 40 years of media missrepresentation of the stuka. I never knew they disabled the siren.

Does the original IL2 stuka have a siren?

Cheers!

I think it worked on a dynamo like principle but would aniciate when at a certain, speed/mode of operation, so the siren wouldnt sound on regular flight unless the dive break was extened.
I did have a cutaway diagram of inside a stuka's wing and it appeared to contain a small rack full of loose balls that could shake and vibrate when exposed to airflow not sure what it did but i presumed it was something to do with the siren.
I'll look for it and post it up if i can find it.
