Anyone else have negative experiences so far with the new spearhead sound reword in ground? Ive been feeling like it drowns out the engines completely and makes all tanks sound pretty much the same, erasing some of the complexity of identifying your enemies before visual contact. I also feel like it creates a blanket of sound that makes it impossible to pinpoint when 2 or more enemies are around. Anyone else feel the same?

The engine sound in third person and the gunner sight actually makes me go deaf, and all vehicles actually sound like they’re carrying a bunch of trash cans and it’s bouncing inside their vehicle, the worst ones were from BMPs.
Once again, the sound team continues to fix what isn’t broken and make the sound worse with every major update.

same thing, it sounds amazing on big maps when other tanks are far away, but on small maps this new echo never ends merging into a single sound of incomprehensible something
plus the sound of my tracks has become louder, but that’s not a fact, maybe it just seems that way

Merkavas make no noise, leopard 1s make no noise, BMP/BMDs sound like someone is shaking a tin can filled with rocks next to my ear… Did nobody boot up a dev map with every type of engine/track noise before pushing the patch considering their track record of messing up sounds??

exactly same here, engine noise is completely gone its all just the same generic track sound
Lmao.
it is really sad that the game went from Gaijin bragging about recording authentic vehicle audio 12 years ago to today’s situation of basically Anton opening the cheap_sounds_R_us soundbank and saying “I’ll take your cheapest crappiest low-quality generic gun and engine noises and poop them right into the game … oh, wait, I’ll just take one of each and torture them using sound filters so I can pretend it’s from different guns and vehicles, that’ll be cheaper”
you can open any tank fest youtube video recorded on potato phone from mile away and you’ll be able to tell difference between vehicles … in WT it is just generic noise

Each vehicle carrying these
And BMPs literally have hundreds of them and it decided to go offroad
One BMP sat next to me a moment ago and decided to drive forward and reverse back and forth I literally lost a lot of brain cells

Had to test drive one to see how awful it is. And it’s awful lol.
The sound it’s making is like soda cans are getting crushed in it’s crankshaft and sometimes that noise also feels plastics-y.
