As explained in the quote above, the devs don’t believe it will make a material change to enhance its capabilities currently, so there is no reason to introduce the shell.
I dont have any news on that front. Generally if there was new news on that, the report status would be updated and a new comment added to reflect that.
How far ahead do the devs decide on the April Fools event?
Historical accuracy, then.
If the shell does not change anything, then there’s no reason NOT to implement it.
If the issue was that it would turn the tank OP, there would be a reason not to implement it. But since it wouldn’t, there’s no reason not to implement it…
Well, that’s disappointing. See, that’s why people end up becoming bitter; this issue has been reported ever since the tank was implemented to the game, yet here we are, well over a year later, still waiting, and I doubt we will even see a solution here.
Do you happen to know if the devs have any plans to help US top tier on the ground in the near future?
They aren’t doing too well due to various reasons and top tier US ground is outright bad to play as currently (although a large part of this is also just teammates), a better spaa will not change a lot against Leo 2A7s/Strv 122s.
Its not an issue, but a suggestion. So it is not handled like a bug. Its important to make that distinction so expectations are not set incorrectly.
We are always monitoring the balance situation of all nations. Where a gap becomes to large or a situation of extreme unbalance occurs, action will always be taken to rectify wherever that’s possible.
I dont have anything specific to report on the US at this moment in time.
Not sure if you can answer this, but are there any plans on reworking/improving engine noises for ground vehicles? I think the Sheridan with its Detroit Diesel 6V53T (V6 turbo Diesel, 2 stroke) having the same engine noise as the AMX-13’s V8 GAS engine is a little ridiculous. Also, the M163 has a General Motors 6V53 (V6 non-turbo diesel, 2 stroke), yet in game the M163 has turbo noises while the Sheridan doesn’t. The list goes on.
But it was acknowledged to be an issue;
Definitely not a technical bug, but still a significant issue- even if it’s a deliberate choice, it’s so bad that it falls under the category of mistake.
This matter is having ab ig impact in one of the main tech tree’s end of the line vehicles and has been a concern for thousands of players; I can’t wrap my head around this not having been addressed yet.
Sounds are generally improved every major update. If you have recordings (videos etc) that show a discrepancy or error in the sounds of a vehicle compared to real life, they can be submitted as a suggestion report on the CBR: Community Bug Reporting System
Would they have to be videos I recorded myself, or would videos of off YouTube suffice?
Im afraid that’s incorrect:
The report that was forwarded was clearly answered as a suggestion: Community Bug Reporting System
The screenshot you posted is of a duplicate report were a standard response template was used for closing duplicate reports. It simply says “Thanks for the report, it’s a known issue” as that is the standard response for any kind of report. Community Bug Reporting System
Naturally we dont expect you to record the vehicle yourself! In many (if not all) cases thats mostly impossible.
Videos and recordings online are entirely fine for sounds.
Alright sweet, thank you very much.
May 8 to May 20
So May 22 is when we find out about the aircraft event
As far as I know, the engineers don’t always make new sounds strictly by recording tracks; rather, they craft some the sounds digitally based/inspired on videos they attempt to replicate, right?
They did an incredible job with Leclerc and Challenger, regarding newer sounds. I don’t know if they were made manually or via recordings, but they are really neat.
So I was hoping Type 10 would come next! What kind of post would I need to do to draw attention for that? Or maybe you could forward this post I made directly some time ago, if it were enough?
It contains two videos that provide some context reference which I believe may be of help.
Got it!
Generally Japanese MBT sounds have been handled by DMM, who contributed to many of the current modern tanks in game for them. But as above, suggestion reports with sufficient material are always welcome.
I see- so the bug reporting platform, then, even if it’s not strictly a bug itself?
Because as you can see with the TUSK report, there are particular types of reports that are handled as suggestions.
The Leclerc for example: Community Bug Reporting System
I don’t dispute that but Leopard 2A4 is a lot different than the MBTs you’ve mentioned…
