Helicopters are too silent in Update "Sons of Attila"

The new helicopter engine sounds are amazing and I love them all, but I feel like the slider went a bit to low. I have Engine volumes at 100%, everything else is fine, but I barely hear helicopters that are less than a km away. Anybody having the same experience?

I used to live near a national guard base and Chinooks would fly near my house frequently. They aren’t all that loud, wouldn’t hear them past 1000m I’d say

Russian tanks are also too silent, but I bet its just “coincidence” that its ONLY russian tanks being silent.

Naaa, it’s not only Russia wich is more silent, it’s the tuned volume overall.

I can clearly hear Friendly’s - no matter what type of vehicle - through multiple buildings and Hills up to 500 away…

But the pitching up noise from an accelerating enemy Abrams / Challenger or whatever right next to me? Nope.

Directional sound and volumes in general were f’ed up completely several patches ago.

Especially now, it’s not only a tip, but necessary, to increase enemy engines to 100 and friendly’s engines to the lowest.

But more often than not sounds aren’t played at all.

Chinooks are loud, especially when doing maneuvers they generate more and louder blade slaps. This is what i mean:

And here’s a chinook far away

The problem is gaijin doesn’t implement blade slap physics, just a repeat sound for helis, so I can’t make my blade slaps become louder when doing maneuvers.
I saw a chinook once, it was me and my dad and we heard it even when it was very far away, I mean by the time we say it which was like 1 and a half minute after we saw it, it was still far away while it was speeding our way. So I would say it could be heard further than 1000m’s. But the loudness of helis can vary, the Huey for example makes some of the loudest blade slaps if not thee loudest, I mean it can be heard from way more than 1000m’s. I mean just listen to and watch this:

And this:

And this (note the first heli seen is not the Huey, second one is)

I’m sad it isn’t that loud in game.
