Firstly, I LOVE how the old gun sounds are returning in a remastered form. I’ve missed the old sounds so much and it’s so great to hear cannons actually sound unique again. However, I’ve noticed that there’s still barely any change to the sounds while in scope view. You can’t hear the the iconic signature sounds of the gun while in gunner view, you just hear a very bland and generic metal sled, even for tanks with very distinct gun sounds. Here’s two examples with the IS-2’s 122mm and the Pz.IV F2, there’s very distinct features to their firing sounds in third person that I’m so happy to see return, but you can’t hear them in gunner view and it’s still very boring. Most of the time when you’re firing, you’ll be using the scope. Please let us hear the remastered sounds while in gunner view too!

Ahhh man the old IS gun sound was peak! It’s like a sledgehammer blow on the anvil of DEATH!
I would like to see they remaster those old sounds for aviation as well.
I really miss old MG151/20 and T-160/ADEN sounds.
I have mixed feelings, hahah.
On the one hand, these sounds are objectively not as realistic.
On the other hand, I am an extremely nostalgic person; I miss the 2010s era of my life, and hearing these sounds again… brought me back. I find it kinda sweet to have something from that era coming back.
Furthermore, the remastered sounds are NOT entirely the same as the old ones. If they were, I would advocate for the ones we currently have instead.
However, what the sound engineers achieved was a tasteful blend of the classic sounds AND the new ones, combining nostalgia AND realism.
So… I think I’m all for these, yes!
