Sometimes you hear the engine 500m away sometimes you only hear it when the enemy is 5m away from you
I’ve watched this clip I made countless times and always hear the engine 1 second before I die

Add to that the non pen on certain shells since the update dropped, idk man, it’s very annoying…

It’s the early type of apds that non pens layered armor
That’s game mechanic bro.
If game “thinks” you can’t see enemy, means there is no sound. In YouTube is plenty of videos, which proves sound in game works as world of tanks visibility mechanics.
In short: if enemy isn’t in visibility zone (keen vision crew upgrade) or isn’t scouted by allies, it has no sound.

and you find it normal? the TC camera is outside of the tank, it should hear every engines, detected or not in a certain radius depending on the decibel level that it emits.
It shouldnt be determined by this shitty spotting mechanic.
I started to play WT in 2012 because I was fed up with that shit WOT mechanic.
It’s got really bad since the sound update.
Heard an Abrams driving towards me today so I stopped to sus it out, he’s on the other side of a rock. Suddenly, the engine sound dies out, so I guess he’s turned it off to lie in wait. So I drive away towards the cap and away from his ambush…
I’m then immediately one tapped in the back by an Abrams going full pelt and his engine making ZERO noise before I died or in the kill cam. He didn’t stop moving or turn his engine off, the game just made his engine silent to me.

I have the same issue. Engine sounds pop in or start up way too late/close.
