After playing quite a few games light tanks and small missile launching carriers are sneaking within a distance of 2 to 5ms without being heard. Can we have the engine noise on light tanks increased they are way to silent given the ranges in which they are heard. Sure their engines noise is lower than those of heavies and mbts but still way to often they get within a short distance of tanks and get pot shots at the side armor.

Light tanks have a percentage of detection which is around 100%, if I’m not wrong this works as a multiplier for rendering the vehicle which includes the sound in a certain radius or if you have direct view contact or not, probably wheater but this is just a guess and you shouldn’t consider this.
Some light tanks do have artificially louder engines while others are more quieter, at this point it’s mostly a balancing feature for these vehicles for example: FV721 Fox is substantially louder when compared to the XM-800T because is faster, at the same time Rooikat Mk. I D is somewhat quieter but the vehicle silhouette is much larger being easier to spot thus its detection percentage is higher.
Take these affirmations with a grain of salt, but I think this is a reasonable way to explain the issue you pointed.
